Radio frequency (RF) exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)

When your 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 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.

Malware

Malware (short for malicious software) is software that can harm your mobile phone or other computers. Malware or harmful applications can include viruses, worms, spyware, and other unwanted programs. While your device does employ security measures to resist such efforts, Sony Ericsson does not warrant or represent that your device will be impervious to

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 your mobile 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, sound 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 to www.sonyericsson-snc.com.

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 Sony Ericsson Call Center.
