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 the vehicle manufacturer's representative to be

sure that the mobile phone or Bluetooth handsfree

will not affect the electronic systems in the 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

communication. 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 the 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 the 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
