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 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.
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 20 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: www.sonyericsson.com.
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
Ericsson or Sony Ericsson handsfree solutions intended
for use with your product. Please note that because of
possible interference to electronic equipment, some
