GPRS service where UMTS is not available (network support required). This section describes the
services that the MD300 supports:
•
High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA)
HSDPA is an enhancement to UMTS networks which enables the downlink speed to be
dramatically increased; up to 3.6Mb/s using the MD300. File downloads will be faster,
whilst applications such as video streaming may operate at higher quality and greater
reliability. The maximum speed available depends on the configuration of the mobile
network and local conditions such as distance to the base station.

Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS)
UMTS is a 3G technology standard for wide-area wireless data communication that is based
on the GSM standard. The UMTS standard uses advanced network operator mobile Internet
services to achieve data transfer rates up to 384 kb/s, which are ideal for media streaming,
video MMS, internet shopping, and banking.
Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE)
EDGE enhances GPRS by increasing data throughput over GPRS by as much as three times,
depending upon the network radio signal strength and quality. GPRS networks that are
enhanced with EDGE are often referred to as Enhanced GPRS (E-GPRS) networks.
EDGE provides the “always on” capability of GPRS but at faster speeds. EDGE technology
is transparent — simply make a GPRS connection as usual and benefit from the increase in
speed where EDGE is available in a network. When EDGE is available you can expect
increased speeds of up to 200 kb/s, dependent on network coverage.
•
•
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
GPRS is a type of network connection that provides “always on” mobility. The connection
set up is fast. After you are connected, applications can send and receive data whenever
required. In today’s GPRS networks, the MD300 receives data at speeds up to 53.6 kb/s
and transmits at speeds up to 26.8 kb/s.
Short Message Service (SMS)
You can send and receive SMS text messages using the Text Messages window in Wireless
Manager or other application software.
MD300 Flash Drive
The MD300 may be used as a flash memory drive. Once the MD300 is installed and functioning as
a modem, you may use the memory space on the drive to store and transport your own files and
media.
Hardware overview
Your Sony Ericsson MD300 uses the 5 volt power supply provided by the USB port. USB devices
which draw more than 100mA from the port are known as High Power USB devices; the MD300
is a high power device.
The amount of power that your MD300 draws from the PC (laptop battery when mobile) depends
on several factors, including status, frequency band, and distance to the base station that is used.
The MD300 can be turned off under software control from the Wireless Manager application or the
signal strength icon in the status tray. You must remove the modem from the laptop when flying to
prevent any accidental transmission.

Radio Frequency (RF) exposure and SAR
Your Sony Ericsson MD300 is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver (transceiver). 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-Ionising 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 transceiver. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified
power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the transceiver while operating can
be well below this value. This is because the transceiver 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 Broadband Modems are designed to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines.
More information on radio frequency exposure and SAR can be found on:
Personal medical devices
Mobile Broadband Modems may affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers and other implanted
equipment. If a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) is kept between the MD300 and the
pacemaker, the risk of interference is limited. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, immediately turn off your MD300. Contact your cardiologist for more information.
For other medical devices, please consult your physician and the manufacturer of the device.
Children
DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY WITH YOUR MD300. THEY COULD HURT
THEMSELVES OR OTHERS, OR COULD ACCIDENTALLY DAMAGE THE MOBILE
BROADBAND MODEM. YOUR MOBILE BROADBAND MODEM MAY CONTAIN SMALL
PARTS THAT COULD BE DETACHED AND CREATE A CHOKING HAZARD.

(Sony Ericsson) or its local affiliated company, provides this Limited Warranty for your mobile
phone, original accessory delivered with your mobile phone, and/or your mobile computing product
(hereinafter referred to as “Product”).
Should your Product need warranty service, please return it to the dealer from whom it was
purchased, or contact your local Sony Ericsson Call Center (national rates may apply) or visit
www.sonyericsson.com to get further information.
Warranty requirements may differ by country or region. Please visit www.sonyericsson.com/support
to review the Sony Ericsson warranty applicable to the country or region where you purchased your
product, which may differ from the default generic warranty included with your user materials.
OUR WARRANTY
Subject to the conditions of this Limited Warranty, Sony Ericsson warrants this Product to be free
from defects in design, material and workmanship at the time of its original purchase by a consumer.
This Limited Warranty will last for a period of one (1) year as from the original date of purchase of
the Product.
WHAT WE WILL DO
If, during the warranty period, this Product fails to operate under normal use and service, due to
defects in design, materials or workmanship, Sony Ericsson authorized distributors or service
partners, in the country* where you purchased the Product, will, at their option, either repair
or replace the Product in accordance with the terms and conditions stipulated herein.
Sony Ericsson and its service partners reserve the right to charge a handling fee if a returned Product
is found not to be under warranty according to the conditions below.
Please note that some of your personal settings, downloads and other information may be lost when
your Sony Ericsson Product is repaired or replaced. At present Sony Ericsson may be prevented
by applicable law, other regulation or technical restrictions from making a backup copy of certain
downloads. Sony Ericsson does not take any responsibility for any lost information of any kind and
will not reimburse you for any such loss. You should always make backup copies of all the information
stored on your Sony Ericsson Product such as downloads, calendar and contacts before handing in
your Sony Ericsson Product for repair or replacement.
CONDITIONS
1. This Limited Warranty is valid only if the original proof of purchase for this Product issued by
a Sony Ericsson authorized dealer specifying the date of purchase and serial number**, is presented
with the Product to be repaired or replaced. Sony Ericsson reserves the right to refuse warranty
service if this information has been removed or changed after the original purchase of the
Product from the dealer.
2. 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 of the original warranty period or for
ninety (90) 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.

3. 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 accident, software or hardware
modification or adjustment, acts of God or damage resulting from liquid.
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.
Minor variations in camera image appearance may occur between phones. This is nothing
uncommon and is not regarded as a defective camera module.
4. Since the cellular system on which the Product is to operate is provided by a carrier independent
from Sony Ericsson, Sony Ericsson will not be responsible for the operation, availability,
coverage, services or range of that system.
5. This warranty does not cover Product failures caused by installations, modifications, or repair
or opening of the Product performed by a non-Sony Ericsson authorised person.
6. The warranty does not cover Product failures which have been caused by use of accessories or
other peripheral devices which are not Sony Ericsson branded original accessories intended for
use with the Product.
7. Tampering with any of the seals on the Product will void the warranty.
8. THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OTHER
THAN THIS PRINTED LIMITED WARRANTY. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED
TO THE DURATION OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. IN NO EVENT SHALL
SONY ERICSSON OR ITS 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.
*GEOGRAPHICAL SCOPE OF THE WARRANTY
If you have purchased your Product in a country member of the European Economic Area (EEA) or
in Switzerland or the Republic of Turkey, and such Product was intended for sale in the EEA or in
Switzerland or in Turkey, you can have your Product serviced in any EEA country or in Switzerland
or in Turkey, under the warranty conditions prevailing in the country in which you require servicing,
provided that an identical Product is sold in such country by an authorised Sony Ericsson distributor.
To find out if your Product is sold in the country you are in, please call the local Sony Ericsson Call
Center. Please observe that certain services may not be possible elsewhere than in the country of
original purchase, for example due to the fact that your Product may have an interior or exterior
which is different from equivalent models sold in other countries. Please note in addition that it may
sometimes not be possible to repair SIM-locked Products.
** In some countries/regions additional information (such as a valid warranty card) may be
requested.
