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.

Antenna
Only use an antenna that has been
specifically designed by Sony Ericsson
for your mobile phone. Use of
unauthorised 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.
