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 on
radio frequency exposure and SAR, on:

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.
