Important information
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.
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.
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

Driving
Please check if 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.
