• Do not use your product in an area
where a potentially explosive
atmosphere exists.
• Do not place your product or install
wireless equipment in the area above
your car's air bag.
• Do not attempt to disassemble your
product. Only Sony Ericsson
authorised personnel should perform
service.
ANTENNA
Only use an antenna that has been specifically
designed by Sony Ericsson for your mobile phone.
Use of unauthorised or modified antennas could
damage your mobile phone and may violate
regulations. causing loss of performance and SAR
levels above the recommended limits (see below).
EFFICIENT USE
Hold your mobile phone as you would any other
phone. Do not cover the top of the phone when in use,
as this affects call quality and may cause the phone to
operate at a higher power level than needed, thus
shortening talk and standby times.
RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) EXPOSURE AND SAR
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter
and receiver. When it is turned on, it emits low levels of

radio frequency energy (also known as radio waves or
radio frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted
comprehensive international safety guidelines,
developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These
guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave
exposure for the general population. The levels include
a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health, and to account
for any variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of
measurement for the amount of 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 the
actual SAR level of the mobile phone while operating
can be well below this value. This is because the
mobile phone is designed to use the minimum power
required to reach the network.
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency
exposure guidelines do not mean that there are
variations in safety. While there may be differences in
SAR levels among mobile phones, all Sony Ericsson
mobile phone models are designed to meet radio
frequency exposure guidelines.
