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 on radio
frequency exposure and SAR, on:

DRIVING
Please check if local laws and regulations of your
country/region 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. 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.
Always give full attention to driving and pull off the road
and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
