78 Additional information
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.
Therefore, the closer you are to a base station, the more
likely it is that the actual SAR level will decrease.
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.
Accessories can significantly affect a mobile phone's
compliance with the radio frequency exposure
guidelines. For example, the Federal Communication
Commission in the U.S. requires that some
manufacturers' accessories shall be tested, and Sony
Ericsson has done so with respect to its products. To
avoid causing loss of performance or radio frequency
exposure levels above the permissible limits it is
recommended that you only use Sony Ericsson or
Ericsson original accessories intended for use with the
mobile phone. If you wear the mobile phone on your
body while it is transmitting, and you do not use a Sony
Ericsson or Ericsson original body worn accessory,
please ensure that the mobile phone is positioned a
minimum of 1.5 cm from your body and that you are not
using an accessory that contain any metal.
A separate leaflet with SAR information for this mobile
phone model is included with the material that comes
with this mobile phone. This information can also be
found, together with more information on radio frequency
exposure and SAR, on: www.sonyericsson.com.
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.
Always give full attention to driving and pull off the
road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
PERSONAL MEDICAL DEVICES
Mobile phones may affect the operation of cardiac
pacemakers and other implanted equipment. Please
avoid placing the mobile phone over the pacemaker, e.g.
in your breast pocket. When using the mobile phone,
place it at the ear opposite the pacemaker. If a minimum
