THEY COULD HURT THEMSELVES OR OTHERS, OR
COULD ACCIDENTALLY DAMAGE THE MOBILE PHONE
OR ACCESSORY. YOUR MOBILE PHONE OR ITS
ACCESSORY MAY CONTAIN SMALL PARTS THAT
COULD BE DETACHED AND CREATE A CHOKING
HAZARD.
Power supply (Charger)
Connect the AC power adapter only to designated power sources
as marked on the product. Make sure the cord is positioned so
that it will not be subjected to damage or stress. To reduce risk of
electric shock, unplug the unit from any power source before
attempting to clean it. The AC power adapter must not be used
outdoors or in damp areas. Never alter the cord or plug. If the
plug will not fit into the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
Use only Sony Ericsson branded original chargers intended for
use with your mobile phone. Other 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.
The 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 using the mobile phone.
Turn off your mobile phone before removing the battery. Do not
allow the battery to be put into the mouth. Battery electrolytes
may be toxic if swallowed. Do not let the metal contacts on the
battery touch another metal object. 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 cardiac 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, place it at the ear opposite 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 supports the installation.
