Use of charging devices that are not Sony Ericsson branded may
pose increased safety risks.
Battery
New or idle batteries can have short-term reduced capacity. Fully
charge the battery before initial use. Use for the intended purpose
only. Charge the battery in temperatures between +5°C(+41°F)
and +45°C(+113°F). Do not put the battery into your mouth. Do not
let the battery contacts touch another metal object. Turn off the
product before removing the battery. Performance depends on
temperatures, signal strength, usage patterns, features selected
and voice or data transmissions. Only Sony Ericsson service
partners should remove or replace built-in batteries. Use of
batteries that are not Sony Ericsson branded may pose increased
safety risks. Replace the battery only with another Sony Ericsson
battery that has been qualified with the product per the standard
IEEE-1725. Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage or other hazard.
Personal medical devices
Mobile phones may affect implanted medical equipment. Reduce
risk of interference by keeping a minimum distance of
15 cm(6 inches) between the phone and the device. Use the phone
at your right ear. Do not carry the phone in your breast pocket.
Turn off the phone if you suspect interference. For all medical
devices, consult a physician and the manufacturer.
Driving
Some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of phones in their
vehicles unless a handsfree kit with an external antenna supports
the installation. Check with the vehicle manufacturer's
representative to be sure that the mobile phone or Bluetooth
handsfree will not affect the electronic systems in the vehicle. Full
attention should be given to driving at all times and local laws and
regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while driving
must be observed.

GPS/Location based functions
Some products provide GPS/Location based functions. Location
determining functionality is provided “As is” and “With all faults”.
Sony Ericsson does not make any representation or warranty as to
the accuracy of such location information.
Use of location-based information by the device may not be
uninterrupted or error free and may additionally be dependent on
network service availability. Please note that functionality may be
reduced or prevented in certain environments such as building
interiors or areas adjacent to buildings.
Caution: Do not use GPS functionality in a manner which causes
distraction from driving.
Emergency calls
Calls cannot be guaranteed under all conditions. Never rely solely
upon mobile phones for essential communication. Calls may not be
possible in all areas, on all networks, or when certain network
services and/or phone features are used.
Antenna
Use of antenna devices not marketed by Sony Ericsson could
damage the 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 the 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.
For more information about SAR and radio frequency exposure,
go to: www.sonyericsson.com/health.
Flight mode
Bluetooth and WLAN functionality, if available in the device, can be
enabled in Flight mode but may be prohibited onboard aircraft or in
other areas where radio transmissions are prohibited. In such
environments, please seek proper authorisation before enabling
Bluetooth or WLAN functionality even in Flight mode.
Malware
Malware (short for malicious software) is software that can harm
the mobile phone or other computers. Malware or harmful
applications can include viruses, worms, spyware, and other
unwanted programs. While the device does employ security
measures to resist such efforts, Sony Ericsson does not warrant or
represent that the device will be impervious to the 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 the 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, 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 Sony Ericsson phones may offer
compatibility with TTY terminals (with use of necessary accessory).

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
regulations by contacting your local city office, your household
waste disposal service, the shop where you purchased the product
or calling a Sony Ericsson Contact Center. Do not attempt to
remove internal batteries. Internal batteries shall be removed only
by a waste treatment facility or trained service professional.
Disposing of the battery
Check local regulations or call a Sony Ericsson Contact
Center for information. Never use municipal waste.
Memory card
