Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Please read this information before using your MD300.

Recommendations

•Always treat your product with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free place.

•Do not expose your product to liquid, moisture or humidity.

•Do not expose your product to extreme high or low temperatures.

•Do not expose your product to open flames or lit tobacco products.

•Do not drop, throw or try to bend your product.

•Do not paint your product.

•Do not use your product near medical equipment without requesting permission from your treating physician or authorised medical staff.

•Do not use your product when in, or around aircraft, or areas showing the sign “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. Only Sony Ericsson authorised personnel should perform service.

Efficient use

Do not cover the MD300 when in use, as this affects call quality.

Radio Frequency (RF) exposure and SAR

Your Sony Ericsson MD300 is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver (transceiver). 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-Ionising 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 transceiver. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the transceiver while operating can be well below this value. This is because the transceiver is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the network.
