Guidelines for safe and efficient use

This is the Internet version of the user’s guide. © Print only for private use.
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.
Personal Medical Devices
Mobile phones may affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers and other
implanted equipment. Please avoid placing the mobile phone over the pacemaker,
e.g. in your breast pocket. When using the mobile phone, place it at the ear
opposite the pacemaker. If a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) is kept
between the mobile phone and the pacemaker, the risk of interference is limited. If
you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, immediately turn
off your mobile phone. Contact your cardiologist for more information.
For other medical devices, please consult the manufacturer of the device.
Children
DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY WITH YOUR MOBILE PHONE OR
ITS ACCESSORIES. THEY COULD HURT THEMSELVES OR OTHERS, OR
COULD ACCIDENTALLY DAMAGE THE MOBILE PHONE OR
ACCESSORIES. YOUR MOBILE PHONE AND ITS ACCESSORIES MAY
CONTAIN SMALL PARTS THAT COULD BE DETACHED AND CREATE A
CHOKING HAZARD.
Disposing of the Product
Your mobile phone should not be placed in municipal waste. Please check local
regulations for disposal of electronic products.
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 the 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 can 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.
A rechargeable battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times.
However, it will eventually wear out – this is not a defect. When the talk-time or
standby time is noticeably shorter, it is time to replace your battery. Sony Ericsson
recommends that you use only batteries and chargers approved by Sony Ericsson.
•
Warning!
May explode if disposed of in fire.
• Use only Ericsson or 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.
