Driving Please check if local laws and regulations restrict the use of mobile phones while driving or require drivers to use handsfree solutions. We recommend that you use only Sony Ericsson handsfree solutions intended for use with your product. Please note that because of possible interference to electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a handsfree kit with an external antenna has been installed. Always pay full attention to driving and pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require. GPS/Location based functions Some products provide GPS/Location based functions. Location determining functionality is provided "AS IS" and "WITH ALL FAULTS". Sony Ericsson 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 Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. You should therefore never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible in all areas, on all cellular networks, or when certain network services and/or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider. Antenna This phone contains a built-in antenna. Use of antenna devices not marketed by Sony Ericsson specifically for this model could damage your mobile phone, reduce performance, and produce SAR levels above the established limits (see below). Efficient use Hold your mobile phone as you would any other phone. Do not cover the top of the phone when it is 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 Specific Absorption Rate (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 70 Important information This is the Internet version of the User's guide. © Print only for private use.
