chargers may not be designed to the same safety 
and performance standards.
Battery
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.
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 the 
mobile phone is being used.
Turn off your mobile phone before removing the 
battery. Do not put the battery into your mouth. 
Battery electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed. Do 
not let the metal contacts on the battery touch 
another metal object. Doing this could short-circuit 
and damage the battery. Use the battery for the 
intended purpose only.
Personal medical devices
Mobile phones may affect the operation of 
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, use it at the ear on the opposite 
side of the body to 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, 
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.
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 has been installed.
Always pay full attention to driving and pull off the 
road and park before making or answering a call if 
driving conditions so require.
Emergency calls
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which 
cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. You 
should therefore 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.
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).
Efficient use
Hold your mobile phone as you would any other 
phone. Do not cover the top of the phone when it is 
in use, as this affects call quality and may cause the
