Do not remove the antenna yourself. Only use an antenna that has been specifically designed by Sony Ericsson for your mobile phone.

For optimum performance with minimum power consumption please: • If your mobile phone is equipped with a retractable antenna, Sony Ericsson recommends that the antenna should be kept fully retracted (closed) while the phone is worn on the body to avoid the antenna touching, or coming in close proximity to, the body.
