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.
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:

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.
Always give full attention to driving and pull off the 
road and park before making or answering a call if 
driving conditions so require.
