Guidelines for safe and efficient use 183

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 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.
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 various mobile
phones, all Sony Ericsson mobile phone models are designed to
meet the relevant guidelines for radio frequency exposure.
A separate leaflet with SAR information for this mobile phone
model is included with the material that comes with this mobile
phone. This information can also be found, together with more
information on radio frequency exposure and SAR, at
www.SonyEricsson.com.
Driving
Please check if local laws/regulations restrict the use of mobile
phones while driving or require drivers to use handsfree
solutions. We recommend that you use only Ericsson or Sony
Ericsson handsfree solutions intended for use with your product.
Always give full attention to driving and pull off the road and
park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so
require.
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.
