User's Manual

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.
