The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR). Tests for SAR are conducted using standardized methods with the phone transmitting at
its highest certified power level in all used frequency bands. While there may be differences between
the SAR levels of various phone models, they are all designed to meet the relevant guidelines for
exposure to radio waves. For more information on SAR, please refer to the safe and efficient use
chapter in the User Guide.
The highest SAR value as reported to the authorities for this phone model when tested for use by the
ear is 0.92 W/kg*, and when worn on the body is 0.55 W/kg* for speech and 0.56 W/kg* for data calls.
Body worn measurements are made while the phone is in use and worn on the body with a Sony
Ericsson accessory supplied with or designated for use with this phone. It is therefore recommended
that only Ericsson and Sony Ericsson original accessories be used in conjunction with Sony Ericsson
phones.
**Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the US, 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 (i.e., by the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The FCC has
granted an Equipment Authorization for this phone model with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. While there may be differences between the SAR
levels of various phones, all mobile phones granted an FCC equipment authorization meet the
government requirement for safe exposure. SAR information on this phone model is on file at the FCC
and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc. gov/oet/ea after searching on FCC
ID PY7A3880003. Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications &
Internet Association (CTIA) website at http://www.ctia.org/.
* In the United States, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
**This paragraph is only applicable to authorities and customers in the United States.

SAR data information for residents in countries that have adopted the SAR limit recommended by the
International Commission of Non-lonizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), which is 2 W/kg averaged
over ten (10) gram of tissue (for example European Union, Japan, Brazil and New Zealand):
The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by Sony Ericsson for use at the ear is 1.05 W/kg
(10g).
