If in doubt as to its proper function, have the product checked by a certified service partner before charging or using it. Recommendations for care and safe use of our products Note! Do not use a damaged device, such as a device with a cracked display or badly dented back cover, as it may cause injury or harm. Please contact an authorised Sony Mobile repair partner to investigate a damaged device. Handle with care and keep in a clean and dust-free place. Warning! May explode if disposed of in fire. Do not use in environments where relevant IP rating limitations, if applicable, are exceeded (including excess depths and/or pressures of liquid and/or dust) or expose to excess humidity. For optimum performance, the product should not be operated in temperatures below -10C(+14F) or above +45C(+113F). Do not expose the battery to temperatures above +60C(+140F). Do not expose to flames or lit tobacco products. Do not drop, throw or try to bend the product. Do not paint or attempt to disassemble or modify the product. Only Sony authorised personnel should perform service. 2 Driving 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. 4 December 26, 2017 16:13:54 Important information 20142017 Consult with authorised medical staff and the instructions of the medical device manufacturer before using the product near pacemakers or other medical devices or equipment.
