Important Safety Precautions

Read these instructions. Breaking the rules may be dangerous or illegal. Further detailed information is given in this user guide.
Warning
Violation of the instructions may cause serious injury or death.
Never use an unapproved battery since
this could damage the phone and/or battery and could cause the battery to explode.
Never place your phone in a microwave
oven as it will cause the battery to explode.
Never store your phone in temperatures
less than -4°F or greater than 122°F.
Do not dispose of your battery near fire or
with hazardous or flammable materials.
When riding in a car, do not leave your
phone or set up the hands-free kit near the air bag. If wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag is deployed, you may be seriously injured.
Do not use a hand-held phone while
driving.
Do not use the phone in areas where its
use is prohibited. (For example: aircraft)
Do not expose the battery charger or
adapter to direct sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as a bathroom.
Do not use harsh chemicals (such as
alcohol, benzene, thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean your phone. This
could cause a fire.
Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone
severely. It may harm the internal circuit boards of the phone.
Do not use your phone in high explosive
areas as the phone may generate sparks.
Do not damage the power cord by
bending, twisting, pulling, or heating. Do not use the plug if it is loose as it may cause electric shock or fire.
Do 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.
Do not handle the phone with wet hands
while it is being charged. It may cause an electric shock or seriously damage your phone.
Do not disassemble the phone.
Do not place or answer calls while
charging the phone as it may short-circuit the phone and/or cause electric shock or fire.
Do not hold or let the antenna come in
contact with your body during a call.
Make sure that no sharp-edged items,
such as animal’s teeth or nails, come into contact with the battery. This could cause a fire.
Store the battery out of reach of children.
Be careful that children do not swallow
any parts (such as earphone, connection
parts of the phone, etc.) This could cause asphyxiation or suffocation resulting in serious injury or death.
Unplug the power cord and charger during
lightning storms to avoid electric shock or fire.
Only use the batteries and chargers
provided by LG. The warranty will not be applied to products provided by other suppliers.
Only authorized personnel should service
the phone and its accessories. Faulty installation or service may result in accidents and consequently invalidate the warranty.
Your 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.
