■
Antenna
Use of antenna devices not marketed by
Sony Ericsson could damage the phone,
reduce performance, and produce SAR
levels above the established limits. Do not
cover the antenna with your hand as this
affects call quality, power levels and can
shorten talk and standby times.
■
Radio Frequency (RF) exposure and
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
When the phone or Bluetooth handsfree is
turned on, it emits low levels of radio
frequency energy. International safety
guidelines have been developed through
periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. These guidelines
establish permitted levels of radio wave
exposure. The guidelines include a safety
margin designed to assure the safety of
all persons and to account for any
variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is used
to measure 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
because the phone is designed to use the
minimum power necessary to access the
chosen network, the actual SAR level can
be well below this value. There is no proof
of difference in safety based on
difference in SAR value.
Products with radio transmitters sold in
the US must be certified by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC).
When required, tests are performed when
the phone is placed at the ear and when
worn on the body. For body-worn
operation, the phone has been tested
when positioned a minimum of 15 mm
from the body without any metal parts in
the vicinity of the phone or when properly
used with an appropriate Sony Ericsson
accessory and worn on the body.

■ Flight mode
Bluetooth and WLAN functionality, if
available in the device, can be enabled in
Flight mode but may be prohibited
onboard aircraft or in other areas where
radio transmissions are prohibited. In
such environments, please seek proper
authorisation before enabling Bluetooth or
WLAN functionality even in Flight mode.
