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 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.
