Guidelines for Safe and Efficient  
Use  
Please read this information before using your mobile phone.  
These instructions are intended for your safety. Please  
follow these guidelines. If the product has been subject  
to any of the conditions listed below or you have any doubt as  
to its proper function make sure you have the product  
checked by a certified service partner before charging or  
using it. Failure to do so might entail a risk of product malfunction or even  
a potential hazard to your health.

CHILDREN  
KEEP OUT OF CHILDRENS REACH. DO NOT ALLOW  
CHILDREN TO PLAY WITH YOUR MOBILE PHONE OR ITS  
ACCESSORIES. THEY COULD HURT THEMSELVES OR  
OTHERS, OR COULD ACCIDENTALLY DAMAGE THE  
MOBILE PHONE OR ACCESSORY. YOUR MOBILE PHONE  
OR ITS ACCESSORY MAY CONTAIN SMALL PARTS THAT  
COULD BECOME DETACHED AND CREATE A CHOKING HAZARD.  
Power supply (Charger)  
Connect the AC power adapter only to designated power sources as marked  
on the product. Make sure the cord is positioned so that it will not be  
subjected to damage or stress. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug  
the unit from any power source before attempting to clean it. The AC power  
adapter must not be used outdoors or in damp areas. Never alter the cord  
or plug. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, have a proper outlet installed  
by a qualified electrician.  
Use only Sony Ericsson branded original chargers intended for use with  
your mobile phone. Other chargers may not be designed to the same safety  
and performance standards.  
Battery  
We recommend that you fully charge the battery before you use your mobile  
phone for the first time. A new battery or one that has not been used for  
a long time could have reduced capacity the first few times it is used.  
The battery should only be charged in temperatures between +5°C (+41°F)  
and +45°C (+113°F).  
Use only Sony Ericsson branded original batteries intended for use with  
your mobile phone. Using other batteries and chargers could be dangerous.  
Talk and standby times depend on several different conditions such as  
signal strength, operating temperature, application usage patterns, features  
selected and voice or data transmissions when the mobile phone is being  
used.  
Turn off your mobile phone before removing the battery. Do not put the  
battery into your mouth. Battery electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed.  
Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch another metal object.  
Doing this could short-circuit and damage the battery. Use the battery  
for the intended purpose only.

Personal medical devices  
Mobile phones may affect the operation of pacemakers and other implanted  
equipment. Please avoid placing the mobile phone over the pacemaker,  
e.g. in your breast pocket. When using the mobile phone, use it at the ear  
on the opposite side of the body to the pacemaker. If a minimum distance  
of 15 cm (6 inches) is kept between the mobile phone and the pacemaker,  
the risk of interference is limited. If you have any reason to suspect that  
interference is taking place, immediately turn off your mobile phone.  
Contact your cardiologist for more information.  
For other medical devices, please consult your physician and the  
manufacturer of the device.  
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 Sony Ericsson handsfree solutions intended for use with  
your product.  
Please note that because of possible interference to electronic equipment,  
some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their  
vehicles unless a handsfree kit with an external antenna has been installed.  
Always pay full attention to driving and pull off the road and park before  
making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.  
Emergency calls  
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee  
connection in all conditions. You should therefore never rely solely upon any  
mobile phone for essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies).  
Emergency calls may not be possible in all areas, on all cellular networks,  
or when certain network services and/or mobile phone features are in use.  
Check with your local service provider.  
Antenna  
This phone contains a built-in antenna. Use of antenna devices not marketed  
by Sony Ericsson specifically for this model could damage your mobile  
phone, reduce performance, and produce SAR levels above the established  
limits (see below).  
30  
This is the Internet version of the User's guide. © Print only for private use.  
Efficient use  
Hold your mobile phone as you would any other phone. Do not cover the  
top of the phone when it is 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 Specific  
Absorption Rate (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 it is 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.  
For phones sold in the US, before a phone model is available for sale to  
the public, it must be tested and certified by the Federal Communications  
Commission (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 15 mm from the body without any metal parts  
31

in the vicinity of the phone or when used with the original Sony Ericsson  
accessory intended for this phone and worn on the body. Use of other  
accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
A separate leaflet with SAR information about this mobile phone model is  
included with the material accompanying this mobile phone. This information  
can also be found, together with more information on radio frequency  
exposure and SAR, on: www.sonyericsson.com/health.  
Accessible Solutions/Special Needs  
For phones sold in the US, you can use your TTY terminal with your  
Sony Ericsson mobile phone (with the necessary accessory). For information  
on Accessible Solutions for individuals with special needs call the  
Sony Ericsson Special Needs Center on 877 878 1996 (TTY) or 877 207  
2056 (voice), or visit the Sony Ericsson Special Needs Center at

This Limited Warranty is valid only if the original proof of purchase for  
this Product issued by a Sony Ericsson authorized dealer specifying the  
date of purchase and serial number**, is presented with the Product  
to be repaired or replaced. Sony Ericsson reserves the right to refuse  
warranty service if this information has been removed or changed after  
the original purchase of the Product from the dealer.  
If Sony Ericsson repairs or replaces the Product, the repair for the  
defect concerned, or the replaced Product shall be warranted for the  
remaining time of the original warranty period or for ninety (90) days  
from the date of repair, whichever is longer. Repair or replacement may  
involve the use of functionally equivalent reconditioned units. Replaced  
parts or components will become the property of Sony Ericsson.  
This warranty does not cover any failure of the Product due to normal  
tear and wear, or due to misuse, including but not limited to use in other  
than the normal and customary manner, in accordance with the  
Sony Ericsson instructions for use and maintenance of the Product.  
Nor does this warranty cover any failure of the Product due to accident,  
software or hardware modification or adjustment, acts of God or damage  
resulting from liquid.  
A rechargeable battery can be charged and discharged more than a  
hundred times. However, it will eventually wear out - this is not a defect  
and corresponds to normal wear and tear. When the talk-time or standby  
time is noticeably shorter, it is time to replace your battery.  
Sony Ericsson recommends that you use only batteries and chargers  
approved by Sony Ericsson.

Minor variations in display brightness and colour may occur between  
the phones. There may be tiny bright or dark dots on the display.  
These are called defective pixels and occur when individual dots have  
malfunctioned and can not be adjusted. Two defective pixels are deemed  
acceptable.  
Minor variations in camera image appearance may occur between  
phones. This is nothing uncommon and is not regarded as a defective  
camera module.
