the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health,
and to account for any variations in measurements.
Accessories can significantly affect a mobile
phone's compliance with the radio frequency exposure
guidelines. 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 your 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 (0.6 in.) from your
body and that you are not using an accessory that
contains any metal.
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 various mobile phones, all Sony
Ericsson mobile phone models are designed to meet
radio frequency exposure guidelines.
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,
