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.

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 +5C (+41F) and +45C (+113F). 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.

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.
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.

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

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).
