Phone lock
The phone lock protects the phone against
unauthorized use if it is stolen and the SIM card is
exchanged. The phone is not locked when you buy
it. You can change the phone lock code (0000) to
any four- to eight-digit personal code.
Phone lock on
If the phone lock is on, the message Phone locked.
appears each time you turn on the phone. Enter
your code followed by OK to use your phone.
Automatic phone lock
If the phone lock is set to automatic, you do not
need to enter your phone lock code until a different
SIM card is inserted in the phone.
It is important that you remember your new code.
If you should forget it, you will need to bring your
phone to your local Sony Ericsson retailer.
Code memo
You can save security codes for credit cards, for
example, in the code memo storage of your phone
or the code memo function of your phone. Then all
you need to remember is the passcode to open the
code memo. You can save a maximum of 10 codes
in the code memo.
Checkword and security
To confirm that you have entered the correct
passcode for the code memo and to prevent
unauthorized access to your codes, you must
enter a checkword.
When you enter your passcode to open the code
memo, the checkword is shown for a short time.
If the passcode is correct, the correct codes are
shown. If you enter the incorrect passcode, the
checkword and the codes that are shown are also
incorrect.

More features
Factors strengthening the security of the code
memo function are:

for a limited time only.

code memo } Continue.
3 Re-enter the new passcode to confirm.
4 Enter a checkword (maximum 15 characters)

Online services
Online services are customized services offered by
service providers, independently of mobile phones
and mobile phone manufacturers.
A SIM card which supports online services works
in the same way as a normal SIM card. When you
have inserted your SIM card and turned on your
phone, your service provider can download data to
your SIM card. When you restart your phone after
the first data download, a new submenu appears
under the menu.
This menu only appears if your SIM card supports this
service. Your phone may not support all of the services
offered. Some service providers may not use the name
online services.
Troubleshooting
Why doesnt the phone work the way I want?
This chapter lists some problems that you might
encounter while using your phone. Some problems
require that you call your service provider, but
most of the problems you can easily correct
yourself.
However, if you need to hand in your phone for
repair, please note that you may lose information
and content that you have saved in your phone. You
are advised to make a copy of such information
before handing your phone in for repair.
Master reset
You can return the phone to its original state by
deleting the changes that you have made to settings,
and the content that you have added or edited.
If you select Reset Settings, the changes that
you have made to settings will be deleted.
If you select Reset All, in addition to your changes
to settings, all contacts, messages, personal data,
and content that you have downloaded, received
or edited will also be deleted.

a clean and dust-free place.
Do not expose your product to liquid or moisture
or humidity.
Do not expose your product to extreme
high or low temperatures.
Do not expose your product to open
flames or lit tobacco products.
Do not drop, throw or try to bend your
product.
Do not paint your product.
Do not use your product near medical equipment
without requesting permission.

This is the Internet version of the user's guide. Print only for private use.
Additional information
Do not place your product or install wireless
equipment in the area above your car's air bag.
Do not attempt to disassemble your
product. Only Sony Ericsson authorized
personnel should perform service.
Antenna
Only use an antenna that has been specifically
designed by Sony Ericsson for your mobile phone.
Use of unauthorized or modified antennas could
damage your mobile phone and may violate
regulations, causing loss of performance and SAR
levels above the recommended limits (see below).
Efficient use
Hold your mobile phone as you would any other
phone. Do not cover the antenna portion of the phone
when 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.
The antenna portion is located at the bottom of the
keypad. When the phone is open, the antenna is at
the bottom of the phone. When the phone is closed, it
is at the top of the phone.

Additional information
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.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the
public, it must be tested and certified to the 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 15 mm from the body without any metal
parts in the vicinity of the phone or when used with
the original Sony Ericsson body worn accessory
intended for this phone. Use of other accessories
may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
A separate leaflet with SAR information for this
mobile phone model is included with the material that
comes with this mobile phone. This information can
also be found, together with more information on
radio frequency exposure and SAR, at
www.SonyEricsson.com/support.
82
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 Ericsson or 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 handsfree kit with an external
antenna supports the installation.
Always pay full attention to driving and pull off the
road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.

not be used outdoors or in damp areas. Never alter
the cord or plug. If the plug will not fit into the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

Additional information
The talk and standby times depend on the actual
transmission conditions when using the mobile
phone. If the mobile phone is used near a base
station, less power is required and talk and standby
times are prolonged.

original batteries and chargers intended for use with
your mobile phone. Other chargers may not charge
sufficiently or may produce excessive heat. Using
other batteries and chargers could be dangerous.
Do not expose the battery to liquid.
Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch
another metal object. This could short-circuit and
damage the battery.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
Do not expose the battery to extreme
temperatures, never above +60C
(+140F). For maximum battery capacity,
use the battery at temperature.
Turn off your mobile phone before
removing the battery.
Keep out of children's reach.
Use the battery for the intended
purpose only.

the mouth. Battery electrolytes may be
toxic if swallowed.
