44 Important information
Radio frequency (RF) exposure and
Specific Absorption Rate (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 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
it is 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.
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 mobile phones, all Sony Ericsson
mobile phone models are designed to meet radio
frequency exposure guidelines.
For phones sold in the US, before a phone model
is available for sale to the public, it must be tested
and certified by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) that it does not exceed the
limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are
performed in positions and locations (that is,
at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the
FCC for each model. For body-worn operation, this
phone has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure
guidelines when the handset is positioned a minimum
of 15 mm from the body without any metal parts
in the vicinity of the phone or when used with
the original Sony Ericsson accessory intended
for this phone and worn on the body. Use of other
accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC
RF exposure guidelines.
A separate leaflet with SAR information about this
mobile phone model is included with the material
accompanying this mobile phone. This information
can also be found, together with more information
on radio frequency exposure and SAR, on:

Accessible Solutions/Special Needs
For phones sold in the US, you can use your TTY
terminal with your Sony Ericsson mobile phone
(with the necessary accessory). For information
