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.
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 scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and
IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
Inc.), through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of
radio wave exposure for the general population. The
levels include a safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and
to account for any variations in measurements.
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.
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 a minimum of 15 mm from the body
without any metal parts in the vicinity of the phone or
when used with the original Sony Ericsson body worn
accessory intended for this phone. Use of other
accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
