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.
For more information about SAR and radio frequency exposure,
go to: www.sonyericsson.com/health.
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.
Malware
Malware (short for malicious software) is software that can harm
the mobile phone or other computers. Malware or harmful
applications can include viruses, worms, spyware, and other
unwanted programs. While the device does employ security
measures to resist such efforts, Sony Ericsson does not warrant or
represent that the device will be impervious to the introduction of
malware. You can however reduce the risk of malware attacks by
using care when downloading content or accepting applications,
refraining from opening or responding to messages from unknown
sources, using trustworthy services to access the Internet, and
only downloading content to the mobile phone from known,
reliable sources.

Emergency calls
Calls cannot be guaranteed under all conditions. Never rely solely
upon mobile phones for essential communication. Calls may not be
possible in all areas, on all networks, or when certain network
services and/or phone features are used.
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.

data, perform a master reset. Deleting data from the phone
memory does not ensure that it cannot be recovered.
Sony Ericsson does not warrant against recovery of information
and does not assume responsibility for disclosure of any
information even after a master reset.
