calling card server, which usually allows you
to make international phone calls at a lower
cost. See Calling cards on page 66.

machine”.
ALS settings – you can have two lines on
the SIM card with this service.

ACCESSORY. YOUR MOBILE PHONE OR ITS
ACCESSORY MAY CONTAIN SMALL PARTS
THAT COULD BE DETACHED AND CREATE A
CHOKING HAZARD.
WARNING! May explode if disposed of in
fire.
• Do not expose your product to liquid or moisture or
humidity.
• Do not expose your product to
extreme high or low temperatures. Do
not expose the battery to temperatures
above +60°C (+140°F).
Power supply (Charger)
Connect the AC power adapter only to designated
power sources as marked on the product. Make sure
the cord is positioned so that it will not be subjected
to damage or stress. To reduce risk of electric shock,
unplug the unit from any power source before
attempting to clean it. The AC power adapter must
not be used outdoors or in damp areas. Never alter the
cord or plug. If the plug will not fit into the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
• Do not expose your product to open
flames or lit tobacco products.
• Do not drop, throw or try to bend your
product.
• Do not paint your product.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or
modify your product. Only Sony
Ericsson authorised personnel should
perform service.
Use only Sony Ericsson branded original chargers
intended for use with your mobile phone. Other
chargers may not be designed to the same safety and
performance standards.
• Do not use your product near medical
equipment without requesting permission.
Battery
• Do not use your product when in, or around
aircraft, or areas posted “turn off two-way radio”.
We recommend that you fully charge the battery
before you use your mobile phone for the first time.
A new battery or one that has not been used for a long
time could have reduced capacity the first few times
it is used. The battery should only be charged in
temperatures between +5°C (+41°F) and +45°C
(+113°F).
Use only Sony Ericsson branded original batteries
intended for use with your mobile phone. Using other
batteries and chargers could be dangerous.
The talk and standby times depend on several
different conditions such as signal strength, operating
temperature, application usage patterns, features
selected and voice or data transmissions when using
the mobile phone.
• Do not use your product in an area where a
potentially explosive atmosphere exists.
• Do not place your product or install wireless
equipment in the area above your car’s air bag.

Turn off your mobile phone before removing the
battery. Do not allow the battery to be put into the
mouth. Battery electrolytes may be toxic if
swallowed. Do not let the metal contacts on the
battery touch another metal object. This could short-
circuit and damage the battery. Use the battery for the
intended purpose only.
Emergency calls
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which
cannot guarantee connection under all conditions.
Therefore you should never rely solely upon any
mobile phone for essential communications (e.g.
medical emergencies).
Emergency calls may not be possible in all areas, on
all cellular networks, or when certain network
services and/or mobile phone features are in use.
Check with your local service provider.
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,
Antenna
This phone contains a built in antenna. Use of
antenna devices not marketed by Sony Ericsson
specifically for this model could damage your mobile
phone, reduce performance, and produce SAR levels
above the established limits (see below).
immediately turn off your mobile phone. Contact
your cardiologist for more information.
For other medical devices, please consult your
physician and the manufacturer of the device.
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.
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 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.
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). Governments
around the world have adopted comprehensive
international safety guidelines, developed by
Always give full attention to driving and pull off the scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International

can also be found, together with more information on
radio frequency exposure and SAR, on:
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.
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.

terminal with your Sony Ericsson mobile phone (with
the necessary accessory). For information on

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

Our warranty
Conditions
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, and for a
subsequent period of one (1) year.
1. The warranty is valid only if the original proof
of purchase issued to the original purchaser by a
Sony Ericsson authorised dealer, specifying the
date of purchase and serial number**, for this
Product, is presented with the Product to be
repaired or replaced. Sony Ericsson reserves the
right to refuse warranty service if this
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
authorised distributors or service partners, in the
country/region* 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.
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 repaired or 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.
Please note that some of your personal settings,
downloads or 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.
3. This warranty does not cover any failure of the
Product due to normal wear and tear, 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 hundreds
of times. However, it will eventually wear out –
this is not a defect. 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

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.
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.
