SONY ERICSSON K790A - Recommendations for safe use of product (mobile phone, battery, charger and other accessories) - 2

CHILDREN

KEEP OUT OF CHILDREN'S REACH. DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY WITH YOUR MOBILE PHONE OR ITS ACCESSORIES. THEY COULD HURT

THESESELFES OR OTHERS, OR COULD ACCIDENTALLY DAMAGE THE MOBILE PHONE OR ACCESSORY. YOUR MOBILE PHONE OR ITS ACCESSORY MAY CONTAIN SMALL PARTS THAT COULD BECOME DETACHED AND CREATE A CHOKING HAZARD.

SONY ERICSSON K790A - CHILDREN - 1

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 does 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^ (+41^) and +45^ (+113^) .

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 15cm (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 verify whether 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 handfree 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 phone to operate at a higher power level than needed, thus shortening talk and standby times.

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 it is 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.

For phones sold in the US, before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (that is, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. For body-worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when the handset is positioned a minimum of 15mm from the body without any metal parts in the vicinity of the phone or when used with the original Sony Ericsson accessory intended for this phone and worn on the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.

A separate leaflet with SAR information about this mobile phone model is included with the material accompanying this mobile phone. This information can also be found, together with more information on radio frequency exposure and SAR, on: www.sonyericsson.com/health.

Accessible Solutions/Special Needs

For phones sold in the US, you can use your TTY terminal with your Sony Ericsson mobile phone (with the necessary accessory). For information on Accessible Solutions for individuals with special needs call the Sony Ericsson Special Needs Center on 877 878 1996 (TTY) or 877 207 2056 (voice), or visit the Sony Ericsson Special Needs Center at www.sonyericsson-snc.com.

Limited Warranty

Sony Ericsson provides this Limited Warranty for your mobile phone and original accessory delivered with your mobile phone (hereinafter referred to as "Product").

Should your Product need warranty service, please return it to the dealer from whom it was purchased, or contact your local Sony Ericsson Call Center (national rates may apply) or visit www.sonyericsson.com to get further information.

OUR WARRANTY

Subject to the conditions of this Limited Warranty, Sony Ericsson warrants this Product to be free from defects in design, material and workmanship at the time of its original purchase by a consumer, and for a subsequent period of one (1) year.

WHAT WE WILL DO

If, during the warranty period, this Product fails to operate under normal use and service, due to defects in design, materials or workmanship,

Sony Ericsson authorized distributors or service partners, in the country/region* where you purchased the Product, will, at their option, either repair or replace the Product in accordance with the terms and conditions stipulated herein.

Sony Ericsson and its service partners reserve the right to charge a handling fee if a returned Product is found not to be under warranty according to the conditions below.

Please note that some of your personal settings, downloads or other information may be lost when your Sony Ericsson Product is repaired or replaced. At present Sony Ericsson may be prevented by applicable law, other regulation or technical restrictions from making a backup copy of certain downloads. Sony Ericsson does not take any responsibility for any lost information of any kind and will not reimburse you for any such loss.

You should always make backup copies of all the information stored on your Sony Ericsson Product such as downloads, calendar and contacts before handing in your Sony Ericsson Product for repair or replacement.

CONDITIONS

1 The warranty is valid only if the original proof of purchase issued to the original purchaser by a Sony Ericsson authorized dealer, specifying the date of purchase and serial number**, for this Product, is presented with the Product to be repaired or replaced. Sony Ericsson reserves the right to refuse warranty service if this information has been removed or changed after the original purchase of the Product from the dealer.
2 If Sony Ericsson repairs or replaces the Product, the repaired or replaced Product shall be warranted for the remaining time of the original warranty period or for ninety (90) days from the date of repair, whichever is longer. Repair or replacement may involve the use of functionally equivalent reconditioned units. Replaced parts or components will become the property of Sony Ericsson.

3 This warranty does not cover any failure of the Product due to normal wear and tear, or due to misuse, including but not limited to use in other than the normal and customary manner, in accordance with the Sony Ericsson instructions for use and maintenance of the Product. Nor does this warranty cover any failure of the Product due to accident, software or hardware modification or adjustment, acts of God or damage resulting from liquid.

A rechargeable battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times. However, it will eventually wear out – this is not a defect. When the talk-time or standby time is noticeably shorter, it is time to replace your battery. Sony Ericsson recommends that you use only batteries and chargers approved by Sony Ericsson.

Minor variations in display brightness and color may occur between phones. There may be tiny bright or dark dots on the display. These are called defective pixels and occur when individual dots have malfunctioned and can not be adjusted. Two defective pixels are deemed acceptable.

Minor variations in the appearance of the camera image may occur between phones. This is not uncommon in digital cameras and does not mean that the camera is defective in any way.

4 Since the cellular system on which the Product is to operate is provided by a carrier independent from Sony Ericsson, Sony Ericsson will not be responsible for the operation, availability, coverage, services or range of that system.
5 This warranty does not cover Product failures caused by installations, modifications, or repair or opening of the Product performed by a non-Sony Ericsson authorized person.
6 The warranty does not cover Product failures which have been caused by use of accessories or other peripheral devices which are not Sony Ericsson branded original accessories intended for use with the Product.

7 Tampering with any of the seals on the Product will void the warranty.
8 THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTY, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OTHER THAN THIS PRINTED LIMITED WARRANTY. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. IN NO EVENT SHALL SONY ERICSSON OR ITS LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS OR COMMERCIAL LOSS; TO THE FULL EXTENT THOSE DAMAGES CAN BE DISCLAIMED BY LAW.

Some countries/states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or limitation of the duration of implied warranties, so the preceding limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

The warranty provided does not affect the consumer's statutory rights under applicable legislation in force, nor the consumer's rights against the dealer arising from their sales / purchase contract.

*EUROPEAN UNION (EU)

If you have purchased your Product in an EU country you can have your Product serviced, under the conditions set out above, within the warranty period in any EU country where an identical Product is sold by an authorized Sony Ericsson distributor. To find out if your Product is sold in the EU country you are in, please call the local Sony Ericsson Call Center. Please observe that certain services may not be possible elsewhere than in the country of original purchase, for example due to the fact that your Product may have an interior or exterior which is different from equivalent

models sold in other EU countries. It may not be possible to repair SIM-locked Products.

** In some countries/regions additional information is requested. If so, this is clearly shown on the valid proof of purchase.
