Additional information
Radio frequency (RF) exposure and SAR
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter a
nd
receiver. When it is turned on, it emits low
levels of
radio frequency energy (also known as radio wave
s
or radio frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted
comprehensive international safety guidelin
es,
developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIR
P
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radia
tion
Protection) and IEEE (The institute of Electrica
l and
Electronics Engineers Inc.) through periodic a
nd
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The
se
guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave
exposure for the general population. All Sony E
ricsson
mobile phone models are designed to operate within
these stringent levels. The levels include a saf
ety
margin designed to assure the safety of all p
ersons,
regardless of age and health, and to account for an
y
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 certifie
d 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 designe
d to use
the minimum power required to reach the network.
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency ex
posure
guidelines do not mean that there are variations in
safety. While there may be differences in SAR leve
ls
among mobile phones, all Sony Ericsson mobile pho
ne
models are designed to meet radio frequency exposur
e
guidelines.
A separate leaflet with SAR information for this mobi
le
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 freq
uency
exposure and SAR, on www.SonyEr
icsson.com/.
Driving
Please check if local laws and regulations restrict
the
use of mobile phones while driving or require d
rivers
to use handsfree solutions. We recommend
that you
use only Ericsson or Sony Ericsson handsfree so
lutions
intended for use with your product. Please note th
at
because of possible interference to electronic equipm
ent,
some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of
mobile
phones in their vehicles unless a handsfree k
it with
an external antenna supports the installation.
Always give full attention to driving and pull off the roa
d
and park before making or answering a call if drivin
g
conditions so require.
Personal medical devices
Mobile phones may affect the operation of card
iac
pacemakers and other implanted equipment. Please
avoid placing the mobile phone over the pacemaker,
e.g. in your breast pocket. When using the mobile ph
one,
