For Devices Supporting 3D Viewing capabilities
In viewing 3D images shot with this device, if applicable, on
a 3D-compatible monitor, you may experience discomfort
in the form of eye strain, fatigue, or nausea. To prevent
these symptoms, we recommend that you take regular
breaks. However, you need to determine for yourself the
length and frequency of breaks you require, as they vary
according to the individual. If you experience any type of
discomfort, stop viewing the 3D images until you feel
better, and consult a physician as necessary. Also refer to
the operating instructions supplied with the device or
software you have connected or are using with this device.
Note that a child’s eyesight is still at the development stage
(particularly children below the age of 6). Consult a
pediatrician or ophthalmologist before letting your child
view 3D images, and make sure he/she observes the above
precautions when viewing such images.
Loudness warning!
Avoid volume levels that may be harmful to your hearing.

Limited Warranty
Sony Mobile Communications AB, SE-221 88 Lund,
Sweden, or its local affiliated company, provides this
Limited Warranty for your mobile device, original accessory
delivered with your mobile device, 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 Contact Center (national rates may apply)
or visit www.sonymobile.com to get further information.
Our warranty
Subject to the conditions of this Limited Warranty, Sony
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.
13
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 authorised distributors or
service partners, in the country/region* where you
purchased the Product, will, at their option, either repair,
replace or refund the purchase price of the Product in
accordance with the terms and conditions stipulated
herein.
Sony 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 Product is repaired or replaced. At present, Sony may
be prevented by applicable law, other regulation or
technical restrictions from making a backup copy of certain
downloads. Sony 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 Product such as
downloads, calendar and contacts before handing in your
Sony 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 authorised
dealer specifying the date of purchase and serial
number**, is presented with the Product to be repaired or
replaced. Sony 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 repairs or replaces the Product, the repair for the
defect concerned, or the replaced Product shall be
14
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.
3.
This warranty does not cover any failure of the Product
due to normal wear and tear, or due to misuse, in
accordance with the Sony 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 the battery. Sony
recommends that you use only batteries and chargers
approved by Sony.
Minor variations in display brightness and colour may
occur between devices. There may be tiny bright or dark
dots on the display. It occurs 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 devices. 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,
15
Sony 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 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 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 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 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.
16

Sony distributor. To find out if your Product is sold in the
country you are in, please call the local Sony Contact
