Guidelines for safe and e cient use
Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information This mobile phone model BL40 has been designed to comply with applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. These requirements are based on scientific guidelines that include safety margins designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standardised methods with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used
frequency bands.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various LG phone models, they are all designed to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
The SAR limit recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) is 2W/kg averaged over 10g of tissue.
The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by DASY4 for use at the ear is (10g) and when worn on the body is 0.842 W/Kg(10g).
SAR data information for
residents in countries/regions that have adopted the SAR limit recommended by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), which is 1.6 W/ kg averaged over 1g of tissue.
0.757 W/kg

where you are required by special regulations. For example, do not use your phone in hospitals as it may affect sensitive medical equipment.
Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is being charged. It may cause an electric shock and can seriously damage your phone.
Do not charge a handset near flammable material as the handset can become hot and create a fire hazard.
Use a dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit (do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner or alcohol).
Do not charge the phone when it is on soft furnishings.
The phone should be charged in a well ventilated area.
Do not subject this unit to excessive smoke or dust.
Do not keep the phone next to credit cards or transport tickets; it can affect the information on the magnetic strips.
Do not tap the screen with a sharp object as it may damage the phone.
Do not expose the phone to liquid, moisture or humidity.
Use the accessories like earphones cautiously. Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.

Efficient phone operation
Electronic and medical devices
All mobile phones may get interference, which could affect performance.
Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without requesting permission. Please consult your doctor to determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the operation of your medical device.
Some hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile phones.
Minor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs, etc.

Guidelines for safe and e cient use
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15cm be maintained between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this use the phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hospitals
Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.
6 LG BL40 | User Guide
Road safety
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones in the area when you drive.
Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.
Give full attention to driving. Use a hands-free kit, if available.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in your vehicle such as car stereos and safety equipment.
When your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do not obstruct with installed or portable wireless equipment. It can cause the air bag to fail or cause serious injury due to improper performance.
If you are listening to music while out and about, please ensure that the volume is at a reasonable level so that you are aware of your surroundings. This is particularly imperative when near roads.
Avoid damage to your hearing
Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed to loud sound for long periods of time. We therefore recommend that you do not turn on or off the handset close to your ear. We also recommend that music and call volumes are set to a reasonable level.
Glass Parts
Some parts of your mobile device are made of glass. This glass could break if your mobile device is dropped on a hard surface or receives a substantial impact. If the glass breaks, do not touch or
attempt to remove. Stop using your mobile device until the glass is replaced by an authorised service centre.
Blasting area
Do not use the phone where blasting is in progress. Observe restrictions, and follow any regulations or rules.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Do not use the phone at a
refueling point. Do not use near fuel or chemicals.
Do not transport or store
flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the same compartment of your vehicle as your mobile phone and accessories.
7
Guidelines for safe and e cient use
In aircraft
Wireless devices can cause interference in aircraft.
Turn your mobile phone off before boarding any aircraft.
Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew.
Children
Keep the phone in a safe place out of the reach of small children. It includes small parts which may cause a choking hazard if detached.
Emergency calls
Emergency calls may not be available under all mobile networks. Therefore, you should never depend solely on the phone for emergency calls. Check with your local service provider.

Touch screen tips
The home screen is also a great place to get used to using the touch screen.
To select an item, touch the centre of the icon.
Do not to press too hard; the
touchscreen is sensitive enough to pick up on a light touch. Use the tip of your finger to
touch the option you require. Be careful not to touch any other keys. When the screen light is off, press
the power key to return to the home screen. Whenever your BL40 is not in use,
it will return to the lock screen.
Proximity sensor
When receiving and making calls, this sensor automatically turns the backlighting off and locks the touch keypad by sensing objects when the phone is near the ear.
This makes the battery life last longer and prevents the touch keypad from malfunctioning through automatic key locking during calls.
Users, therefore, do not have the inconvenience of unlocking the phone when searching the phonebook during calls.
