Important Information
Driving
Please verify whether local laws and regulations
restrict the use of mobile phones while driving
or require drivers to use handsfree solutions.
We recommend that you use only Sony Ericsson
handsfree solutions intended for use with your
product.
Please note that because of possible interference
to electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers
forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles
unless a handsfree kit with an external antenna
supports the installation.
Always give full attention to driving and pull off the
road and park before making or answering a call
if driving conditions so require.
Emergency calls
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which
cannot guarantee connection under all conditions.
Therefore you should never rely solely upon any
mobile phone for essential communications
(e.g. medical emergencies).
Emergency calls may not be possible in all areas,
on all cellular networks, or when certain network
services and/or mobile phone features are in use.
Check with your local service provider.
Antenna
This phone contains a built in antenna. Use of
antenna devices not marketed by Sony Ericsson
specifically for this model could damage your mobile
phone, reduce performance, and produce SAR levels
above the established limits (see below).
Efficient use
Hold your mobile phone as you would any other
phone. Do not cover the top of the phone when
in use, as this affects call quality and may cause
the phone to operate at a higher power level than
needed, thus shortening talk and standby times.
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) 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
