•Never use an unapproved battery that could cause damages to the phone or the battery itself, or even explode.

•Never place your phone in a microwave oven, as this will result in an explosion of the battery.

•Do not dispose of your battery in fire or with hazardous or flammable materials.

•Make sure the battery does not come into contact with sharp-edged items, such as animal teeth or claws. This could cause a fire.

•Store the battery in a place out of the reach of children.

•Be careful so that children do not swallow any parts of the phone, such as rubber plugs (earpiece, parts that connect to the phone, etc.). This could cause asphyxiation or suffocation.

•Disconnect the plug and charger from the outlet when the phone shows that the battery has been fully charged, because it may cause electric shock or fire hazard.

•When in the car, do not leave your phone, or install a hands-free kit, near the airbag. If wireless equipment is improperly installed, you can be seriously injured if the airbag is deployed.

•Do not use mobile phone while driving.

•Do not use the phone in areas where its usage is prohibited. (For example: in airplanes).

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

•Never store your phone in temperatures lower than -20°C or higher than 50°C.

•Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene, solvents, etc.) or detergents to clean the phone. This could cause fire.

•Do not drop the phone, strike it, or shake it hard. Such actions may harm the phone’s internal circuit boards.

•Do not use your phone in high explosive areas, as this may generate sparks.

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

•Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is charging. This can cause electric shock or seriously damage your phone.

•Do not disassemble the phone.

•Do not make or answer calls while charging the phone, which can cause a short circuit, electric shock, or fire.

•Use only batteries and chargers provided by LG. The warranty does not apply to products provided by other providers.

•Only authorized personnel should service the phone and its accessories. Installation or service may result in accidents and consequently invalidate the warranty.

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

•Emergency calls can be made only within a service area. To make an emergency call, make sure you are within a service area and the phone is on.

•Use your accessories, such as headphones or headsets, with caution, ensuring that the cables are plugged properly and that they do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.

Information about the RF exposure from FCC

WARNING

Read this information before operating the phone.

For your safety

In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both international and U.S. standards.

The design of this phone complies with FCC guidelines and these international standards.

Caution

Use only the supplied antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas, or modifications, could impair call quality, damage the phone, void your warranty, or result in a violation of FCC regulations.

Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.

A damaged antenna in contact with the skin could cause a singe. Contact your local dealer for an antenna replacement.

Battery Precautions

•Do not disassemble.

•Do not short-circuit.

•Do not expose to high temperatures, over 60 °C (140 °F).

•Do not incinerate.

Battery Disposal

•Please dispose off your battery properly, or bring it to your wireless provider for recycling.

•Do not dispose off your battery in fire or with hazardous or flammable materials.

For your safety

Adapter Precautions (Charger)

•Using the wrong battery charger could damage your phone and void your warranty.

•The adapter or battery charger is only designed for indoor use.

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

Cautions for Battery

•Do not disassemble or open crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred.

•Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion or other hazard.

•Only use the battery for the system for which it is specified.

•Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualified with the system per this standard. Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.

•Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive objects to contact battery terminals.

•Replace the battery only with another battery that has been qualified with the system per this standard, IEEE-Std-1725-200x. Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other hazard.

•Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations.

•Battery usage by children should be supervised.

•Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a service center for inspection.

•Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or other hazard.

•For those host devices that utilize a USB port as a charging source, the host device's user manual shall include a statement that the phone shall only be connected

to products that bear the USB-IF logo or have completed the USB-IF compliance program.

•Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to save unnecessary power consumption of the charger.

Avoid damage to your ear

•Damage to your hear can occur due to constant exposure to excessive high sound. We, therefore, recommend that you do not turn on or off the phone near your ear. We also recommend you be reasonable with the music and volume level.

•If you listen to music, please ensure that the volume level is adequate, so that you are aware of your surroundings. This is particularly important when attempting to cross a street.

Safety instructions

TIA's Safety Information

This includes complete security information on wireless phones from TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association).

It's required, for CTIA Certification, the inclusion in the user manual of text covering pacemakers, hearing aids and other medical devices. It's encouraged the use of the remaining TIA language when relevant.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal

Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.

In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:

ANSI C95.1 (1992) * NCRP Report 86 (1986) ICNIRP (1996)

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).

*American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.

The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.

Phone Operation

NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.

Suggestions for a more efficient operation

For your phone to operate most efficiently:

•Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily, when the phone is in use. The contact with the antenna affects call quality, and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise would be need.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations related to the use of wireless phones in the areas where you drive. Always obey these regulations. Also, if using your phone while driving, make sure to:

•Pay full attention to driving; driving safely is your first responsibility;

•Use hands-free operation, if available;

•Pull off the road and park, before making or answering a call, if driving conditions demand so.
