About warranty
Limited warranty
Subject to the conditions of this limited warranty, Sony Corporation, or its relevant local aliate warrants
this device to be free from defects in design, material and workmanship at the time of its original purchase
by a consumer.
Should your device need warranty service, please return it to the dealer from whom it was purchased or
contact your local Sony repair partner.
If, during the warranty period, your device fails to operate under normal use and service, due to defects in
design, materials or workmanship, authorised Sony distributors or service partners in the country/region
where you purchased your device, will, at their discretion, either repair, replace or refund the purchase price
of the device in accordance with the terms and conditions stated herein.
Sony and its service partners reserve the right to charge a handling fee if a returned device is found out of
warranty according to the conditions stated herein.
The warranty and conditions for some countries and regions are described separately in

specic terms of warranty
.
Note
Some of your personal settings, downloads and other information may be lost when your device is repaired or
replaced. At present, Sony may be prevented by applicable law, other regulation or technical restrictions from making a
backup copy of certain downloads. Sony does not take any responsibility for any lost information of any kind and will
not reimburse you for any such loss. You should always make backup copies of all the information stored on your
device, such as downloads, calendar and contacts, before handing in your device for repair or replacement.
Conditions
1This limited warranty is valid only if the original proof of purchase for this device, issued by an authorised
Sony dealer specifying, unaltered, the date of purchase and serial number (in some countries/regions,
other information may be requested), is presented with the device to be repaired or replaced. Sony
reserves the right to refuse warranty service if this information has been removed or changed after the
original purchase of the device from the dealer.
2If Sony repairs or replaces the device, the repair for the defect concerned or the replaced device shall be
warranted for the remaining time of the original warranty period or for ninety (90) days from the date of
repair, whichever is longer. Repair or replacement may involve the use of functionally equivalent
reconditioned units. Replaced parts or components will become the property of Sony.
3This warranty does not cover any failure of the device that is due to:
•Normal wear and tear.
•Use in environments where relevant IP rating limitations, if applicable, are exceeded (including liquid
damage or the detection of liquid inside the device resulting from such use).
•Misuse or failure to use in accordance with the relevant Sony instructions for use and maintenance of
the device.
Nor does this warranty cover any failure of the device due to accident, software or hardware
modication or adjustment, or acts of God.
4A rechargeable battery eventually wear out by repeat charging and discharging. This is not a defect and
corresponds to normal wear and tear. When the talk-time or standby time becomes noticeably shorter, it
is time to replace the battery.
Minor variations in display brightness and colour may occur between devices. There may be tiny bright
or dark dots on the display. These are called defective pixels and occur when individual dots have
malfunctioned and can not be adjusted. Two defective pixels are deemed acceptable.
Minor variations in camera image appearance may occur between devices. Such variations are not
uncommon and do not mean that a camera module is defective.

5Since the cellular system on which the device is to operate is provided by a carrier independent from
Sony, Sony will not be responsible for the operation, availability, coverage, services or range of that
system.
6This warranty does not cover device damage, malfunctions and/or failures caused by installations,
modications, repairs or opening of the product by anyone not authorised to do so by Sony.
7The warranty does not cover device damage, malfunctions and/or failures which have been caused by
use of accessories or other peripheral devices which are not Sony-branded original accessories intended
for use with the device.
8Sony disclaims any and all warranties, whether express or implied, for damage, malfunctions and/or
failures caused to the device or peripheral devices as a result of viruses, trojan horses, spyware, or other
malicious software. Sony strongly recommends that you install appropriate virus protection software on
your device and any peripheral devices connected to it, as available, and update it regularly, to better
protect your device. It is understood, however, that such software will never fully protect your device or
its peripheral devices and Sony disclaims all warranties, whether express or implied, in case of failure by
such antivirus software to full its intended purpose.
9 • For customers in the United States
Sony is not responsible for any labor or parts costs you incur relating to repairs or service from
providers/servicers other than from an authorised Sony service partner.
• For customers in other countries and regions
Tampering with any of the seals on the device will void the warranty.
10 There are no express warranties, whether written or oral, other than this limited warranty. All implied
warranties, including without limitation the implied warranties of merchantability or tness for a
particular purpose, are limited to the duration of this limited warranty. In no event shall Sony or its
licensors be liable for incidental or consequential damages of any nature whatsoever, including but not
limited to lost prots or commercial loss to the full extent those damages can be disclaimed by law.
Some countries/regions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or
limitation of the duration of implied warranties, so the preceding limitations or exclusions may not apply to
you.
The warranty provided does not aect the consumer’s statutory rights under applicable legislation in force,
nor the consumer’s rights against the dealer arising from their sales/purchase contract.

Taking care of and using your device
Warning
•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.
•Do not expose your device to re or heat.
•When your device is not water resistant, avoid liquids entering the USB port, headset jack or any other slot of the
device. Do not charge your device if water enters such ports. Please contact an authorised Sony service partner to
investigate your device if water ingress occurs.
•Even if your device is water resistant, avoid that neither water containing impurities nor any other liquids (i.e. soft
drinks, sea water, sweat, etc.) enter the USB port or any other slot of the device. Do not charge your device when
such ports or slots are wet. You can charge your device after you dry and clean such ports or slots.
•Do not charge your device in wet areas or near a sink or a bathtub. Do not connect or disconnect the charger with
wet hands.

About RF exposure and Specic Absorption
Rates (SAR)
RF exposure and Specic Absorption Rates (SAR)
SAR data information is provided for residents in countries that have adopted the SAR limits recommended
by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) or the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The ICNIRP species a SAR limit of 2 W/kg averaged over ten (10) grams of
body tissue while the IEEE species a SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over one (1) gram of body tissue.
These requirements are based on scientic guidelines that include safety margins designed to ensure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The SAR values and test distances dier depending on the measuring method, the device tested (phone or
tablet) and if the Wi-Fi hotspot functionality is used, but only the highest SAR values are presented.
The WHO (World Health Organization) has stated that current scientic information does not indicate the
need for special precautions regarding the use of tablets and phones. For more information on this topic,
please visit
