Sony Ericsson W980 Cell Phone User Manual


 
81Important information
Antenna
Use of antenna devices not marketed by
Sony Ericsson could damage your phone, reduce
performance, and produce SAR levels above the
established limits. Do not cover the antenna with your
hand as this affects call quality, power levels and can
shorten talk and standby times.
Radio frequency (RF) exposure and
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
When your phone or Bluetooth handsfree is turned
on, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy.
International safety guidelines have been developed
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of
radio wave exposure. The guidelines include a safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons
and to account for any variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is used to measure
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 because the phone is designed to
use the minimum power necessary to access the
chosen network, the actual SAR level can be well
below this value. There is no proof of difference in
safety based on difference in SAR value.
Products with radio transmitters sold in the US
must be certified by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). When required, tests are
performed when the phone is placed at the ear and
when worn on the body. For body-worn operation,
the phone has been tested when positioned
a minimum of 15 mm from the body without any
metal parts in the vicinity of the phone or when
properly used with an appropriate Sony Ericsson
accessory and worn on the body.

exposure go to: www.sonyericsson.com/health.
Malware
Malware (short for malicious software) is software that
can harm your mobile phone or other computers.
Malware or harmful applications can include viruses,
worms, spyware, and other unwanted programs.
While your device does employ security measures
to resist such efforts, Sony Ericsson does not warrant
or represent that your device will be impervious
to introduction of malware. You can however reduce
the risk of malware attacks by using care when
downloading content or accepting applications,
refraining from opening or responding to messages
from unknown sources, using trustworthy services to
access the Internet, and only downloading content to
your mobile phone from known, reliable sources.
Accessories
Use only Sony Ericsson branded original accessories
and certified service partners. Sony Ericsson does
not test third-party accessories. Accessories may
influence RF Exposure, radio performance, sound
loudness, electric safety and other areas. Third-
party accessories and parts may pose a risk to your
health or safety or decrease performance.
Accessible Solutions/Special Needs
In the US, compatible SonyEricsson phones may
offer compatibility with TTY terminals (with use of
necessary accessory). For more information call the
Sony Ericsson Special Needs Center on 877 878

Disposal of old electrical and
electronic equipment
Electronic equipment and batteries
should not be included as household
waste but should be left at an
appropriate collection point for recycling. This
helps prevent potential negative consequences for
the environment and human health. Check local
