Troubleshooting

Online services are customized services offered by

service providers, independently of mobile phones

and mobile phone manufacturers.

Why doesn’t the phone work the way I want?

This chapter lists some problems that you might

encounter while using your phone. Some problems

require that you call your service provider,

but most of the problems you can easily

correct yourself.

However, if you need to hand in your phone for

repair, please note that you may lose information

and content that you have saved in your phone.

You are advised to make a copy of such

information before handing your phone in for repair.

A SIM card which supports online services works

in the same way as a normal SIM card. When you

have inserted your SIM card and turned on your

phone, your service provider can download data to

your SIM card. When you restart your phone after

the first data download, a new submenu appears

under the menu.

This menu only appears if your SIM card supports this

service. Your phone may not support all of the services

offered. Some operators may not use the name

perform service.

Antenna

Only use an antenna that has been specifically

Use of unauthorized or modified antennas could

damage your mobile phone and may violate

regulations, causing loss of performance and SAR

levels above the recommended limits (see below).

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.

Efficient use

Hold your mobile phone as you would any other

phone. Do not cover the top of the phone when in

use, as this affects call quality and may cause the

phone to operate at a higher power level than

needed, thus shortening talk and standby times.

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.

Radio frequency (RF) exposure

and SAR

Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter

and receiver. When it is turned on, it emits low levels

of radio frequency energy (also known as radio

waves or radio frequency fields).

Before a phone model is available for sale to the

public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that

it does not exceed the limit established by the

government-adopted requirement for safe exposure.

The tests are performed in positions and locations

(that is, at the ear and worn on the body) as required

by the FCC for each model. For body worn operation,

this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF

exposure guidelines when the handset is positioned

parts in the vicinity of the phone or when used with

guidelines.

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 distance of 15 cm (6 inches) is kept

between the mobile phone and the pacemaker, the

risk of interference is limited. If you have any reason

to suspect that interference is taking place,

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:

immediately turn off your mobile phone. Contact your

cardiologist for more information.
