2 Important Safety Precautions

Read these instructions. Breaking the rules may be dangerous or illegal. Further detailed information is given in this user guide.

Violation of the instructions may cause serious injury or death.

ssNever use an unapproved battery since this could damage the phone and/or battery and could cause the battery to explode.

ssNever place your phone in a microwave oven as it will cause the battery to explode.

ssNever store your phone in temperatures less than -4°F or greater than 122°F.

ssDo not dispose of your battery near fire or with hazardous or flammable materials.

ssWhen riding in a car, do not leave your phone or set up the handsfree kit near the air bag. If wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag is deployed, you may be seriously injured.

ssDo not use a hand-held phone while driving.

ssDo not use the phone in areas where its use is prohibited. (For example: aircraft)

Important Safety Precautions 3

ssDo not use your device for long periods of time while a part of your body is making direct contact with it. The temperature of the product may increase during normal operation and this may result in harming or burning your skin.

ssDo not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as a bathroom.

ssDo not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene, thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean your phone. This could cause a fire.

ssDo not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. It may harm the internal circuit boards of the phone.

ssDo not use your phone in high explosive areas as the phone may generate

ssDo not damage the power cord by bending, twisting, pulling, or heating. Do not use the plug if it is loose as it may cause a fire or electric shock.

ssDo not place any heavy items on the power cord. Do not allow the power cord to be crimped as it may cause electric shock or fire.

4 Important Safety Precautions

ssDo not handle the phone with wet hands while it is being charged.

It may cause an electric shock or seriously damage your phone.

ssDo not disassemble the phone.

ssDo not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may shortcircuit the phone and/or cause electric shock or fire.

ssDo not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your body during a call.

ssMake sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal’s teeth or nails, come into contact with the battery. This could cause a fire.

ssStore the battery out of reach of children.

ssBe careful that children do not swallow any parts (such as rubber plugs, earphone, connection parts of the phone, etc.) This could cause asphyxiation or suffocation resulting in serious injury or death.

ssUnplug the power cord and charger during lightning storms to avoid electric shock or fire.

Important Safety Precautions 5

ssOnly use the batteries and chargers provided by LG. The warranty will not be applied to products provided by other suppliers.

ssOnly authorized personnel should service the phone and its accessories. Faulty installation or

service may result in accidents and consequently invalidate the warranty.

ssYour service provider programs one or more emergency phone numbers, such as 911, that you can call under any circumstances, even when your phone is locked. Your phone’s preprogrammed

emergency number(s) may not work in all locations, and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed due to network, environmental, or interference issues.
