your hand as this affects call quality, power levels

Radio Frequency (RF) exposure and
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
When the phone or Bluetooth handsfree is turned
on, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy.
International safety guidelines have been developed
through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. These guidelines establish
permitted levels of radio wave exposure. The
guidelines include a safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons and to account for
any variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is used to measure
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 because the phone is designed to
use the minimum power necessary to access the
chosen network, the actual SAR level can be well
below this value. There is no proof of difference in
safety based on difference in SAR value.
Products with radio transmitters sold in the US must
be certified by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). When required, tests are
performed when the phone is placed at the ear and
when worn on the body. For body-worn operation,
the phone has been tested when positioned a
minimum of 15 mm from the body without any metal
parts in the vicinity of the phone or when properly
used with an appropriate Sony Ericsson accessory
and worn on the body.

Flight mode
Bluetooth and WLAN functionality, if available in the
device, can be enabled in Flight mode but may be
prohibited onboard aircraft or in other areas where
radio transmissions are prohibited. In such
environments, please seek proper authorisation
before enabling Bluetooth or WLAN functionality
even in Flight mode.
Malware
Malware (short for malicious software) is software
that can harm the mobile phone or other computers.
Malware or harmful applications can include viruses,
worms, spyware, and other unwanted programs.
While the device does employ security measures to
resist such efforts, Sony Ericsson does not warrant
or represent that the device will be impervious to the
introduction of malware. You can however reduce
the risk of malware attacks by using care when
downloading content or accepting applications,
refraining from opening or responding to messages
from unknown sources, using trustworthy services
to access the Internet, and only downloading
content to the mobile phone from known, reliable
sources.
Accessories
Use only Sony Ericsson branded original
accessories and certified service partners.
Sony Ericsson does not test third-party accessories.
Accessories may influence RF exposure, radio
performance, loudness, electric safety and other
areas. Third-party accessories and parts may pose
a risk to your health or safety or decrease
performance.
Disposal of old electrical
and electronic equipment
Electronic equipment and batteries
should not be included as household waste but
should be left at an appropriate collection point for
recycling. This helps prevent potential negative
consequences for the environment and human
