The SIM card  
Getting started  
When you register as a subscriber with a network  
operator, you get a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module)  
card. The SIM card contains a computer chip that keeps  
track of your phone number, the services included in  
your subscription, and your phonebook information.  
About this user’s guide  
For ease of reference, the “Getting to know your phone”  
chapter gives a quick overview of the main functions of  
the phone, shortcuts and general information.  
Tip: Check if your information is saved to the SIM card  
before you remove it from another phone. For example,  
phonebook entries may be saved in the phone memory.  
For instructions on copying your SIM card information to  
your phone, see “Phonebook” on page 26.  
More information and downloads are available at  
or wap.SonyEricsson.com.  
Note: Throughout this manual, WAP and Web are  
used interchangeably to refer to internet services.  
Assembly  
Before you can use your phone you need to:  
Insert the SIM card.  
Attach and charge the battery. See “SIM card and  
battery information” on page 4.

guide are network- or subscription-dependent. Because  
of this, some menus may not be available in your phone.  
This symbol indicates that a service or function  
is network or subscription-dependent.  
Note: Always turn off the phone and detach the  
charger before you insert or remove a SIM card.  
Please consult your network operator for  
more information about your subscription.

Tips when recording and using voice commands  
If your phone cannot detect speech, one of the following  
might have happened:  
You spoke too softly – try speaking louder.  
You held the phone too far away – hold it as you do  
during a call.  
The voice command was too short – it should be around  
one second long and more than one syllable.  
You spoke too late or too soon – speak immediately  
after the tone.  
You did not record the voice command when the  
handsfree was attached – for voice control with a  
handsfree kit, record when the handsfree is attached.

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.  
ANTENNA  
Only use an antenna that has been specifically designed  
by Sony Ericsson for your mobile phone. Use of  
unauthorized 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).  
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.  
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public,  
it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not  
exceed the limit established by the government-adopted  
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed  
in positions and locations (that is, at the ear and worn on  
the body) as required by the FCC for each model. For body  
worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets FCC  
RF exposure guidelines when the handset is positioned a  
minimum of 20 mm from the body without any metal parts  
in the vicinity of the phone or when used with the original  
Sony Ericsson body worn accessory intended for this phone.  
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with  
FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
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

place, immediately turn off your mobile phone. Contact  
your cardiologist for more information.  
CHILDREN  
DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY  
WITH YOUR MOBILE PHONE OR ITS  
ACCESSORIES. THEY COULD HURT  
THEMSELVES OR OTHERS, OR COULD  
ACCIDENTALLY DAMAGE THE MOBILE PHONE  
OR ACCESSORY. YOUR MOBILE PHONE OR ITS  
ACCESSORY MAY CONTAIN SMALL PARTS THAT  
COULD BE DETACHED AND CREATE A CHOKING  
HAZARD.  
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  
Ericsson or 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  
supports the installation.  
DISPOSING OF THE PRODUCT  
Your mobile phone should not be placed  
in municipal waste. Please check local  
regulations for disposal of electronic  
products.  
Always give full attention to driving and pull off the road and  
park before making or answering a call if driving conditions  
so require.  
POWER SUPPLY  
PERSONAL MEDICAL DEVICES  
Connect the AC power adapter only to designated power  
sources as marked on the product. Make sure the cord is  
positioned so that it will not be subjected to damage or stress.  
To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the unit from any  
power source before attempting to clean it. The AC power  
adapter must not be used outdoors or in damp areas.  
Never alter the cord or plug. If the plug will not fit into the  
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.  
Mobile phones may affect the operation of cardiac  
pacemakers and other implanted equipment. Please avoid  
placing the mobile phone over the pacemaker, for example,  
in your breast pocket. When using the mobile phone, place  
it at the ear opposite the pacemaker. If a minimum distance  
of 6 inches (15 cm) is kept between the mobile phone and  
the pacemaker, the risk of interference is limited. If you

for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations  
(i.e., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for  
each model. The highest SAR value as reported to the FCC for this  
model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.18 W/kg and when  
worn on the body is 0.75 W/kg. Body worn measurements are made  
while the phone is in use and worn on the body with an Ericsson or  
Sony Ericsson accessory. Accessories can significantly affect SAR  
compliance. The Federal Communication Commission requires that  
some manufacturers' accessories be tested, and Sony Ericsson has  
done so with respect to its products. Sony Ericsson has only tested  
Ericsson and Sony Ericsson original accessories in conjunction with  
Sony Ericsson phones. It is therefore recommended that only Ericsson  
and Sony Ericsson original accessories be used in conjunction with  
Sony Ericsson phones. The FCC has granted an Equipment  
Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels  
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various  
phones, all mobile phones granted an FCC equipment authorization  
meet the government requirement for safe exposure.  
SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and  
can be found under the Display Grant section of http://  
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID PY7A1041011.  
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be  
found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association  
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile  
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged  
over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a margin of  
safety to give additional protection for the public and to account  
for any variations in measurements.  
Important Information (U.S.)  
THIS PHONE MODEL HAS BEEN CERTIFIED IN  
COMPLIANCE WITH THE GOVERNMENT’S  
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.  
This mobile phone model T290a has been designed to comply with  
applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. Your  
wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed  
to not exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy  
set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S.  
Government. These limits establish permitted levels of RF energy  
for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards  
that were developed by international scientific organizations through  
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards  
include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,  
regardless of age and health.  
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit  
of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.  
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are  
conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC  
with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all  
tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the  
highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone  
while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is  
because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels  
so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general,  
the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the  
power output. Before a phone model is available for sale to the  
public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not  
exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement

relatifs au SAR sont menés à l’aide de méthodes normalisées, avec  
une transmission à la plus haute puissance certifiée du téléphone  
dans toutes les bandes de fréquences utilisées.  
Bien qu’il y ait des différences entre les niveaux de SAR des divers  
modèles des téléphones, ils sont tous conçus conformément aux  
directives applicables en matière d’exposition aux ondes radio.  
Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur le SAR, veuillez  
consulter le chapitre sur la sécurité du guide de l’utilisateur.  
Valeur SAR pour les résidents des pays ayant adopté la limite SAR  
recommandée par l’International Commission on Non-Ionizing  
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), soit 2 watts/kg en moyenne pour  
dix (10) grammes de tissus (par exemple l’Union européenne, le  
Japan, le Brésil et la Nouvelle-Zélande):  
la valeur SAR la plus élevée pour ce modèle de téléphone lorsque  
testé à l’oreille par Sony Ericsson est de 0.75 watts/kg (10 grammes).  
Valeur SAR pour les résidents des pays/régions ayant adopté la  
limite SAR recommandée par l’Institute of Electrical and Electronics  
Engineers (IEEE), soit de 1,6 watts/kg en moyenne pour un  
(1) gramme de tissus (par exemple les États-Unis, le Canada,  
l’Australie et Taiwan):  
This mobile phone model T290a has been designed to comply  
with applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves.  
These requirements are based on scientific guidelines that include  
safety margins designed to assure the safety of all persons,  
regardless of age and health.  
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement  
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are  
conducted using standardized methods with the phone transmitting  
at its highest certified power level in all used frequency bands.  
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various  
phone models, they are all designed to meet the relevant guidelines  
for exposure to radio waves.  
For more information on SAR, please refer to the safety chapter  
in the User’s Guide.  
SAR data information for residents in countries that have adopted  
the SAR limit recommended by the International Commission on  
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), which is 2 W/kg  
averaged over ten (10) grams of tissue (for example, European  
Untion, Japan, Brazil and New Zealand):  
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested by  
Sony Ericsson for use at the ear is 0.75 W/kg (10g).  
SAR data information for residents in countries/regions that have  
adopted the SAR limit recommended by the Institute of Electrical  
and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), which is 1.6 W/kg averages  
over one (1) gram of tissue (for example USA, Canada, Australia  
and Taiwan):  
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested by  
Sony Ericsson for use at the ear is 1.18 W/kg (1g).  
la valeur SAR la plus élevée pour ce modèle de téléphone lorsque
