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 your vehicle manufacturer’s representative to
be sure that your mobile phone or Bluetooth
handsfree will not affect the electronic systems in
your 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
communications. 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 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
