Important Information
• Do not paint your product.
• Do not use your product near medical
equipment without requesting permission.
• Do not use your product when in, or
around aircraft, or areas posted “turn off
two-way radio”.
• Do not use your product in an area where
a potentially explosive atmosphere exists.
• Do not place your product or install
wireless equipment in the area above your
car’s air bag.
• Do not attempt to
disassemble your product. Only
Sony Ericsson-authorized
personnel should perform
service.
Antenna
Only use an antenna that has been
specifically designed by Sony Ericsson for
your mobile phone. Use of unauthorized or
modified antennas could damage your
mobile phone and may violate regulations,
causing loss of performance and SAR levels
above the recommended limits (see below).
Efficient use
Hold your mobile phone as you would any
other phone. Do not cover the top of the
phone when in use, as this affects call
quality and may cause the phone to operate
at a higher power level than needed, thus
shortening talk and standby times.
Radio frequency (RF) exposure
and SAR
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is turned
on, it emits low levels of radio frequency
energy (also known as radio waves or radio
frequency fields).
Governments around the world have
adopted comprehensive international safety
guidelines, developed by scientific
organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.)
through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. These guidelines establish
permitted levels of radio wave exposure for
the general population. The levels include a
safety margin designed to assure the safety
of all persons, regardless of age and health,
and to account for any variations in
measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of
measurement for the amount of radio
frequency energy absorbed by the body
when using a mobile phone. The SAR value
is determined at the highest certified power
level in laboratory conditions, but the actual
SAR level of the mobile phone while
operating can be well below this value.
This is because the mobile phone is
designed to use the minimum power
required to reach the network.
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency
exposure guidelines do not mean that there
