Warning! Keep out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to play with mobile
devices or accessories. They could hurt themselves or others. Products may contain
small parts that could become detached and create a choking hazard.
Power supply (Charger)
Connect the charger to power sources as marked on the product. Do not use outdoors or in
damp areas. Do not alter or subject the cord to damage or stress. Unplug the unit before
cleaning it. Never alter the plug. If it does not fit into the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by an electrician. When a power supply is connected there is a small drain of power. To
avoid this small energy waste, disconnect the power supply when the product is fully
charged. Use of charging devices that are not Sony branded may pose increased safety
risks.
Battery
New or idle batteries can have short-term reduced capacity. Fully charge the battery before
initial use. Use for the intended purpose only. Charge the battery in temperatures between
+5°C(+41°F) and +45°C(+113°F). Do not put the battery into your mouth. Do not let the
battery contacts touch another metal object. Turn off the product before removing the
battery. Performance depends on temperatures, signal strength, usage patterns, features
selected and voice or data transmissions. Only Sony service partners should remove or
replace built-in batteries. Use of batteries that are not Sony branded may pose increased
safety risks. Replace the battery only with another Sony battery that has been qualified with
the product per the standard IEEE-1725. Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of
fire, explosion, leakage or other hazard.

Personal medical devices
Mobile devices / devices with radio transmitters may affect implanted medical equipment.
Reduce risk of interference by keeping a minimum distance of 15 cm(6 inches) between the
Sony product and the medical device. Use the Sony device at your right ear, when
applicable. Do not carry the device in your breast pocket. Turn off the device if you suspect
interference. For use in proximity to personal medical devices, please consult a physician
and the device manufacturer.

In some cases, vehicle manufacturers may forbid the use of mobile devices in their vehicles
unless a handsfree kit with an external antenna supports the installation. Check with the
vehicle manufacturer's representative to be sure that a mobile device or Bluetooth handsfree
will not affect the electronic systems in the vehicle. Full attention should be given to driving
at all times and local laws and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while driving
must be observed.
GPS/Location based functions
Some products provide GPS/Location based functions. Location determining functionality is
provided “As is” and “With all faults”. Sony does not make any representation or warranty as
to the accuracy of such location information.
Use of location-based information by the device may not be uninterrupted or error free and
may additionally be dependent on network service availability. Please note that functionality
may be reduced or prevented in certain environments such as building interiors or areas
adjacent to buildings.
Caution: Do not use GPS functionality in a manner which causes distraction from driving.
Emergency calls
Calls cannot be guaranteed under all conditions. Never rely solely upon Sony mobile devices
for essential communication. Calls may not be possible in all areas, on all networks, or when
certain network services and/or mobile device features are used. Please note that some
Sony devices are not capable of supporting voice calls, including emergency calls.
Antenna
Use of antenna devices not marketed by Sony could damage the mobile device, reduce
performance, and produce Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) levels above the established
limits. Do not cover the antenna with your hand as this affects call quality, power levels and
can shorten talk and standby times.
Radio Frequency (RF) exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
When the mobile device or Bluetooth handsfree functionality is turned on, it emits low levels
of radio frequency energy. International safety guidelines have been developed through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted
levels of radio wave exposure. The guidelines include a safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons and to account for any variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is used to measure radio frequency energy absorbed by the
body when using a mobile device. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified
power level in laboratory conditions, but because the device is designed to use the minimum
power necessary to access the chosen network, the actual SAR level can be well below this
value. There is no proof of difference in safety based on difference in SAR value.

Products with radio transmitters sold in the US must be certified by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). When required, tests are performed when the device is
placed at the ear and when worn on the body. For body-worn operation, the device has been
tested when positioned a minimum of 15 mm from the body without any metal parts in the
vicinity of the device or when properly used with an appropriate Sony accessory and worn
on the body. When operating with “Hotspot” functionality engaged, a separation distance of
10 mm was used.

.
Flight mode
Bluetooth and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) functionality, if available in the device,
can be enabled in Flight mode but may be prohibited onboard aircraft or in other areas
where radio transmissions are prohibited. In such environments, please seek proper
authorisation before enabling Bluetooth or WLAN functionality even in Flight mode.
Malware
Malware (short for malicious software) is software that can harm device. Malware or harmful
applications can include viruses, worms, spyware, and other unwanted programs. While the
device does employ security measures to resist such efforts, Sony does not warrant or
represent that the device will be impervious to the introduction of malware. You can however
reduce the risk of malware attacks by using care when downloading content or accepting
applications, refraining from opening or responding to messages from unknown sources,
using trustworthy services to access the Internet, and only downloading content to the
mobile device from known, reliable sources.
Accessories
Use only Sony branded original accessories and certified service partners. Sony does not
test third-party accessories. Accessories may influence RF exposure, radio performance,
loudness, electric safety and other areas. Third-party accessories and parts may pose a risk
to your health or safety or decrease performance.
Accessible Solutions/Special Needs
In the US, compatible Sony Mobile devices may offer compatibility with TTY terminals (with
use of necessary accessory). For more information call the Sony Special Needs Center on
877 878 1996 (TTY) or 877 207 2056 (voice), or go to
