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 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.
Accessories
Use only Sony branded original accessories and
certified service partners. Sony does not test third-
party accessories. Accessories may influence RF
exposure, radio performance, loudness, electric safety
and other areas. Third-party accessories and parts
may pose a risk to your health or safety or decrease
performance.
Accessible Solutions/Special Needs
In the US, compatible Sony Xperia phones may offer
compatibility with TTY terminals (with use of necessary
accessory). For more information call the Sony Special
• Recorded data may be damaged or lost when you
remove the memory card or memory card adapter,
turn off the power while formatting, reading or writing
data, or use the memory card in locations subject to
static electricity or high electrical field emissions.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Please follow these guidelines. Failure to do so
might entail a potential health risk or product
malfunction. If in doubt as to its proper function, have
object. Turn off the product before removing the
battery. Performance depends on temperatures, signal
strength, usage patterns, features selected and voice
or data transmissions. Only Sony service partners
should remove or replace built-in batteries. Use of
batteries that are not Sony branded may pose
increased safety risks. Replace the battery only with
another Sony battery that has been qualified with the
product per the standard IEEE-1725. Use of an
unqualified battery may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage or other hazard.
Personal medical devices
Mobile phones may affect implanted medical
equipment. Reduce risk of interference by keeping a
minimum distance of 15 cm(6 inches) between the
phone and the device. Use the phone at your right ear.
Do not carry the phone in your breast pocket. Turn off
the phone if you suspect interference. For use in
proximity to personal medical devices, please consult
a physician and the device manufacturer.
Driving
Some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of phones
in their vehicles unless a handsfree kit with an external
antenna supports the installation. Check with the
vehicle manufacturer's representative to be sure that
the mobile phone or Bluetooth handsfree will not affect
the electronic systems in the vehicle. Full attention
should be given to driving at all times and local laws
and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices
while driving must be observed.

GPS/Location based functions
Some products provide GPS/Location based
functions. Location determining functionality is
provided "As is" and "With all faults". Sony does not
make any representation or warranty as to the
accuracy of such location information.
Use of location-based information by the device may
not be uninterrupted or error free and may additionally
be dependent on network service availability. Please
note that functionality may be reduced or prevented in
certain environments such as building interiors or areas
adjacent to buildings.
Caution: Do not use GPS functionality in a manner
which causes distraction from driving.
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 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.

reader, check memory card compatibility before
purchase or use.
Memory cards are generally formatted prior to
shipping. To reformat the memory card, use a
compatible device. Do not use the standard operating
system format when formatting the memory card on a
PC. For details, refer to the operating instructions of
the device or contact customer support.
SIM card
If your phone is equipped with a standard-sized SIM
card slot, inserting an incompatible SIM card (for
example, a micro SIM card, a micro SIM card with a
non-Sony adapter, or a standard SIM card cut into a
micro SIM card size) in the SIM card slot may damage
your SIM card or your phone permanently. Sony does
not warrant and will not be responsible for any damage
caused by use of incompatible or modified SIM cards.
For Devices Supporting 3D Viewing capabilities
In viewing 3D images shot with this phone on a 3D-
compatible monitor, you may experience discomfort in
the form of eye strain, fatigue, or nausea. To prevent
these symptoms, we recommend that you take regular
breaks. However, you need to determine for yourself
the length and frequency of breaks you require, as they
vary according to the individual. If you experience any
type of discomfort, stop viewing the 3D images until
you feel better, and consult a physician as necessary.
Also refer to the operating instructions supplied with
the device or software you have connected or are
using with this phone. Note that a child's eyesight is

Limited Warranty
Sony Mobile Communications AB, SE-221 88 Lund,

original accessory delivered with your mobile phone,
and/or your mobile computing product (hereinafter
referred to as "Product").
Should your Product need warranty service, please
return it to the dealer from whom it was purchased, or
contact your local Sony Contact Center (national rates
may apply) or visit www.sonymobile.com to get further
information.
Our warranty
Subject to the conditions of this Limited Warranty,

design, material and workmanship at the time of its
original purchase by a consumer. This Limited
Warranty will last for a period of one (1) year as from
the original date of purchase of the Product.

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 accessory and worn on the body.
When operating with "Hotspot" functionality engaged,
a separation distance of 10mm was used.
For more information about SAR and radio frequency
exposure, go to: www.sonymobile.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
