Personal medical devices
Emergency calls
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 all medical devices, consult
a physician and the manufacturer.
Calls cannot be guaranteed under all conditions.
Never rely solely upon mobile phones for essential
communications. 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 Ericsson could damage your 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.
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 your vehicle manufacturer’s
representative to be sure that your mobile phone
or Bluetooth handsfree will not affect the electronic
systems in your 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.
Radio frequency (RF) exposure and
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
When your phone or Bluetooth handsfree is turned
on, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy.
International safety guidelines have been developed
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.
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.
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

accessory and worn on the body.

frequency exposure go to:
Disposal of old electrical
and electronic equipment
Electronic equipment and batteries
should not be included as household
waste but should be left at an
appropriate collection point for recycling. This
helps prevent potential negative consequences for
the environment and human health. Check local
regulations by contacting your local city office, your
household waste disposal service, the shop where
you purchased the product or calling
Malware
Malware (short for malicious software) is software
that can harm your mobile phone or other computers.
Malware or harmful applications can include
viruses, worms, spyware, and other unwanted
programs. While your device does employ security
measures to resist such efforts, Sony Ericsson does
not warrant or represent that your device will be
impervious to 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 your mobile phone
from known, reliable sources.

a memory card reader, check memory card
compatibility before purchase or use.
Accessories
Use only Sony Ericsson branded original accessories
and certified service partners. Sony Ericsson does
not test third-party accessories. Accessories may
influence RF Exposure, radio performance, sound
loudness, electric safety and other areas. Third-
party accessories and parts may pose a risk to your

Our Warranty
Subject to the conditions of this Limited Warranty,
Sony Ericsson warrants this Product to be free

If Sony Ericsson repairs or replaces the Product,
the repair for the defect concerned, or the replaced
Product shall be warranted for the remaining time

days from the date of repair, whichever is longer.
Repair or replacement may involve the use of
functionally equivalent reconditioned units.
Replaced parts or components will become the
property of Sony Ericsson.
This warranty does not cover any failure of the
Product due to normal tear and wear, or due to
misuse, including but not limited to use in other
than the normal and customary manner, in
accordance with the Sony Ericsson instructions for
use and maintenance of the Product. Nor does this
warranty cover any failure of the Product due to

conditions stipulated herein.

A rechargeable battery can be charged and
discharged more than a hundred times. However,
it will eventually wear out – this is not a defect and
corresponds to normal wear and tear. When the
talk-time or standby time is noticeably shorter,
it is time to replace your battery. Sony Ericsson
recommends that you use only batteries and
chargers approved by Sony Ericsson.
Minor variations in display brightness and colour
may occur between the phones. There may be tiny
bright or dark dots on the display. These are called
defective pixels and occur when individual dots
have malfunctioned and can not be adjusted. Two
defective pixels are deemed acceptable.
LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE
WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO LOST PROFITS OR COMMERCIAL LOSS; TO
THE FULL EXTENT THOSE DAMAGES CAN BE
DISCLAIMED BY LAW.
Some countries/states do not allow the exclusion
or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, or limitation of the duration of implied
warranties, so the preceding limitations or
exclusions may not apply to you.
The warranty provided does not affect the
consumer’s statutory rights under applicable
legislation in force, nor the consumer’s rights
against the dealer arising from their sales /
purchase contract.
Minor variations in camera image appearance may
occur between phones. This is nothing uncommon
and is not regarded as a defective camera module.
