Guidelines for safe and efﬁ cient use

Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal. Should a fault occur, a software tool is built into your device that will gather a fault log. This tool gathers only data specific to the fault, such as signal strength, cell ID position in sudden call drop and applications loaded. The log is used only to help determine the cause of the fault. These logs are encrypted and can only be accessed by an authorized LG Repair centre should you need to return your device for repair.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for This Product (for Japan)

This mobile phone 402LG meets the Japanese technical regulations* and international guidelines for exposure to radio waves.

The Japanese technical regulations for exposure to radio frequency energy established permitted levels of radio frequency energy, based on standards developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The regulation employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit is 2 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. The limit includes a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The value of the limit is equal to the value given in international guidelines recommended by ICNIRP**, which is in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) The highest SAR value for this mobile phone is ●.●● W/kg when tested for use at the ear, and ●.●● W/ kg*** when worn on the body in the below manner**** While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, all phones meet the Japanese technical regulations. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR of the phone during operation can be well below the maximum value.

Use at positions other than at the ear****

This mobile phone may be used at positions other than at the ear. By using an accessory such as a belt clip holster that maintains a ●.● cm separation with no metal (parts) between the body and the mobile phone, this mobile phone will comply with international guidelines for radio wave protection.

Guidelines for safe and efﬁ cient use

* The technical regulation is provided in Article 14-2 of the Ministry Ordinance Regulating Radio Equipment. ** International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection *** The value is under simultaneous transmission use conditions.

The World Health Organization has announced that "A large number of studies have been performed over the last two decades to assess whether mobile phones pose a potential health risk. To date, no adverse health effects have been established as being caused by mobile phone use."

For more information about SAR, see the following websites:

• Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC)

Touch screen tips

Here are some tips on how to navigate on your phone.

Tap or touch – A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts and letters on the on-screen keyboard. Touch and hold – Touch and hold an item on the screen by tapping it and not lifting your finger until an action

occurs. For example, to open a contact's available options, touch and hold the contact in the Contacts list until the context menu opens. Drag – Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger, move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position. You can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them. Swipe or slide – To swipe or slide, quickly move your finger across the surface of the screen, without pausing when you first tap it (so you don’t drag an item instead). For example, you can slide the screen up or down to scroll through a list, or browse through the different Home screens by swiping from left to right (and vice versa). Double-tap – Double-tap to zoom on a webpage or a map. For example, quickly double-tap a section of a webpage to adjust that section to fit the width of the screen. You can also double-tap to zoom in and out while viewing the picture. Pinch-to-Zoom – Use your index finger and thumb in a pinching or spreading motion to zoom in or out when using the browser or Maps, or when browsing pictures. Rotate the screen – From many applications and menus, the orientation of the screen adjusts to the device's physical orientation.

NOTE:

• To select an item, tap the center of the icon.

• Do not press too hard; the tap screen is sensitive enough to pick up a light, yet firm tap.

• Use the tip of your finger to tap the option you want. Be careful not to tap any other

keys.
