personnel can do it.
This device, like any wireless device, operates using radio signals which,
by their nature, are not able to guarantee connection in all conditions.
Therefore, for emergency communications, never rely solely upon any
wireless device.
Only use approved accessories.
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.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Road safety
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones in the area when you
drive.
t Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.
t Give full attention to driving.
t Use a hands-free kit, if available.
t Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions

a reasonable level so that you are aware of your surroundings. This is of particular
importance when near roads.
Avoid damage to your hearing
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume
levels for long periods.
Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed to loud sounds for long periods of
time. We therefore recommend that you do not turn the handset on or off close to your
ear. We also recommend that music and call volumes are set to a reasonable level.
t When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people
speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are listening
to.

NOTE: Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause
hearing loss.
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 provider.
Blasting area
Do not use the phone where blasting is in progress. Observe restrictions, and follow any
regulations or rules.
Potentially explosive atmospheres

13
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
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 on all mobile networks. Therefore you should
never depend solely on your phone for emergency calls. Check with your local service
provider.
Battery information and care
t You do not need to completely discharge the battery before recharging. Unlike other
battery systems, there is no memory effect that could compromise the battery’s
performance.
t Use only LG batteries and chargers. LG chargers are designed to maximise battery
life.
t Do not disassemble or shortcircuit the battery pack.
t Keep the metal contacts of the battery pack clean.
t Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. The battery
pack may be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing.
t Recharge the battery if it has not been used for a long time to maximise usability.
t Do not expose the battery charger to direct sunlight or use it in high humidity, such as
in the bathroom.
t Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, as this may deteriorate battery
performance.
t There is risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type.
t Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Please recycle
when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
14
t If you need to replace the battery, take it to your nearest authorised LG Electronics
service point or dealer for assistance.
t Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to
save unnecessary power consumption of the charger.
t Actual battery life will depend on network configuration, product settings, usage
patterns, battery and environmental conditions.
t 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.
