Important information

Power supply

Connect the AC power adapter only to designated 
power sources as marked on the product. Make sure 
the cord is positioned so that it will not be subjected 
to damage or stress. To reduce risk of electric shock, 
unplug the unit from any power source before 
attempting to clean it. The AC power adapter must 
not be used outdoors or in damp areas. Never alter 
the cord or plug. If the plug will not fit into the outlet, 
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Emergency calls

Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which 
cannot guarantee connection under all conditions. 
Therefore you should never rely solely upon any 
mobile phone for essential communications (e.g. 
medical emergencies).
Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular 
networks or when certain network services and/or 
mobile phone features are in use. Check with your 
local service provider.

Battery use and care

We recommend that you fully charge the battery 
before you use your mobile phone for the first time. 
The battery should only be charged in temperatures 
b5°C (+41°F) and +45°C (+113°F).

A new battery or one that has not been used for a 
long time could have reduced capacity the first few 
times it is used.
The talk and standby times depend on the actual 
transmission conditions when using the mobile 
phone. If the mobile phone is used near a base 
station, less power is required and talk and standby 
times are prolonged. 

Warning! 

May explode if disposed of in fire.

• Use only Sony Ericsson branded original batteries 

and chargers intended for use with your mobile 
phone. Other chargers may not charge sufficiently 
or may produce excessive heat. Using other 
batteries and chargers could be dangerous.

• Do not expose the battery to liquid.
• Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch 

another metal object. This could short-circuit and 
damage the battery. 

• Do not disassemble or modify the battery. 
• Do not expose the battery to extreme 

temperatures, never above +60°C 
(+140°F). For maximum battery 
capacity, use the battery in room 
temperature.

• Turn off your mobile phone before removing 

the battery.
