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 are variations in safety. While there may be
differences in SAR levels among mobile phones, all Sony Ericsson
mobile phone models are designed to meet radio frequency exposure
guidelines.
For phones sold in the U.S,. before a phone model is available for sale
to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not
exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement
for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations
(that is, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for
each model. For body worn operation, this phone has been tested
and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when the handset is positioned
a minimum of 15 mm from the body without any metal parts in the vicinity
of the phone or when used with the original Sony Ericsson body worn
accessory intended for this phone. Use of other accessories may not
ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
A separate leaflet with SAR information for this mobile phone model
is included with the material that comes with this mobile phone. This
information can also be found, together with more information on radio
frequency exposure and SAR, on:

Driving
Please check if local laws and regulations restrict the use of mobile
phones while driving or require drivers to use handsfree solutions.
We recommend that you use only Sony Ericsson handsfree solutions
intended for use with your product. Please note that because of possible
interference to electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers
forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a handsfree
kit with an external antenna supports the installation.
Always give full attention to driving and pull off the road and park before
making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
