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 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
chosen network, the actual SAR level can be well
below this value. There is no proof of difference in
safety based on difference in SAR value.
Products with radio transmitters sold in the US must
be certified by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). When required, tests are
performed when the phone is placed at the ear and
when worn on the body. For body-worn operation,
the phone has been tested when positioned a
minimum of 15 mm from the body without any metal
parts in the vicinity of the phone or when properly
used with an appropriate Sony Ericsson accessory
and worn on the body.

frequency exposure, go to:

Flight mode

Bluetooth and WLAN functionality, if available in the
device, can be enabled in Flight mode but may be
prohibited onboard aircraft or in other areas where
radio transmissions are prohibited. In such
environments, please seek proper authorization
before enabling Bluetooth or WLAN functionality
even in Flight mode.

Malware

Malware (short for malicious software) is software
that can harm the phone or other computers.
Malware or harmful applications can include viruses,
worms, spyware, and other unwanted programs.
While the device does employ security measures to
resist such efforts, Sony Ericsson does not warrant
or represent that the device will be impervious to the
introduction of malware. You can however reduce
the risk of malware attacks by using care when
downloading content or accepting applications,
refraining from opening or responding to messages
from unknown sources, using trustworthy services
to access the Internet, and only downloading
content to the phone from known, reliable sources.

Accessories

Use only Sony Ericsson branded original
accessories and certified service partners.
Sony Ericsson does not test third-party accessories.
Accessories may influence RF exposure, radio
performance, loudness, electric safety and other
areas. Third-party accessories and parts may pose
a risk to your health or safety or decrease
performance.

Accessible Solutions/Special Needs

In the US, compatible Sony Ericsson phones may
offer compatibility with TTY terminals (with use of
necessary accessory). For more information call the
Sony Ericsson Special Needs Center on
877 878 1996 (TTY) or 877 207 2056 (voice), or go

Disposal of old electrical

and electronic equipment

Electronic equipment and batteries
should not be included as
household waste but should be left at an appropriate
collection point for recycling. This helps prevent
potential negative consequences for the
environment and human health. Check local
regulations by contacting your local city office, your
household waste disposal service, the shop where
you purchased the product or calling a
