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), through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the general population. All Sony Ericsson mobile phone models are designed to operate within these stringent levels. 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.

Accessories can significantly affect a mobile phone's compliance with the radio frequency exposure guidelines. To avoid causing loss of performance or radio frequency exposure levels above the permissible limits, it is recommended that you only use Sony Ericsson or Ericsson original accessories intended for use with the mobile phone. If you wear the mobile phone on your body while it is transmitting, and you do not use a Sony Ericsson or Ericsson original body-worn accessory, please ensure that the mobile phone is positioned a minimum of

1.5cm (0.6 in.) from your body and that you are not using an accessory that contains any metal.

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.

This is because the mobile phone is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the network. Therefore, the closer you are to a base station, the more likely it is that the actual SAR level will decrease.

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 phone models, all mobile phone models must be designed to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines.

A separate leaflet with SAR information for this mobile phone model is included with the material that comes with this mobile phone. This information is also available on www.sonyericsson.com.

T68i specifications

The Sony Ericsson T68i, launched in 2002, marked a significant milestone in mobile communication technology, blending functionality with a stylish design. This innovative mobile phone emerged during a time when mobile devices were beginning to shift towards more advanced features beyond mere voice calls and text messaging.

One of the standout features of the T68i was its color display, a groundbreaking development for its time. The phone boasted a 101 x 80 pixels LCD screen that could display up to 256 colors, providing users with a more vibrant and engaging interface compared to the monochrome screens that were prevalent before. This attractive visual upgrade was complemented by a light-responsive design, making it easier to view in various lighting conditions.

The T68i was equipped with a sturdy set of features including SMS and MMS capabilities. Users could send and receive multimedia messages alongside traditional text messages, paving the way for a more interactive communication experience. The phone also supported email functionality, allowing users to stay connected with work and personal contacts on the go.

Another notable technology integrated into the T68i was Bluetooth. As one of the first phones to include this technology, it enabled users to connect wirelessly to other devices such as headsets, allowing for hands-free communication. This was particularly important as it marked the beginning of a shift toward wireless peripherals that would eventually become standard in mobile technology.

The phone's design was sleek and compact, with a simple interface that provided easy navigation through its features. The presence of customizable themes allowed users to personalize their experience, making the T68i appealing to a diverse range of consumers.

In terms of battery life, the T68i was robust, providing a talk time of up to 7 hours and a standby time of up to 300 hours. This ensured that users could depend on their device for extended periods without the constant need for recharging.

Overall, the Sony Ericsson T68i was a pioneering device that encapsulated the transition into the modern era of mobile phones. With its combination of a color display, multimedia messaging capabilities, and wireless connectivity, the T68i played a key role in setting the stage for the smartphones that would follow in the years to come. Its legacy lives on as a testament to innovation in mobile technology.
