Emergency calls
Phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee
connection in all conditions. You should therefore never rely solely
upon any phone for essential communications (for example, medical
emergencies).
Emergency calls may not be possible in all areas, on all cellular
networks, or when certain network services and/or 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 phone, reduce performance, and produce SAR levels
above the established limits (see below).
Efficient use
Hold your phone as you would any other phone. Do not cover the
top of the phone when it is 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 Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR)
Your 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, for example, 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
