Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
Please read these simple guidelines.
Not following these guidelines may be
dangerous or illegal.
Exposure to radio frequency
energy
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL
GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter
and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the limits
for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
recommended by international guidelines
(ICNIRP). These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population.
The guidelines were developed by
independent scientific organisations
through periodic and thorough evaluation
of scientific studies. The guidelines include
a substantial safety margin designed
to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age or health.
The exposure standard for mobile devices
employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit stated in the international
guidelines is 2.0 W/kg*. Tests for SAR
are conducted using standard operating
positions with the device transmitting
at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although the
SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR of the device
while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the
device is designed to operate at multiple
power levels so as to use only the power
required to reach the network. In general,
the closer you are to a base station, the
lower the power output of the device.
Before a phone model is available for
sale to the public, compliance with the
European R&TTE directive must be shown.
This directive includes as one essential
requirement the protection of the health
and the safety for the user and any other
person.
The highest SAR value for this device
when tested for use at the ear is X.XXX
W/kg.

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 or
moisture.
•
Use accessories like earphones
cautiously. Do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily.

Damage to the glass display due to
abuse or misuse is not covered under
the warranty.
Your phone is an electronic device that
•
generates heat during normal operation.
Extremely prolonged, direct skin contact
in the absence of adequate ventilation
may result in discomfort or minor burns.
Therefore, use care when handling
your phone during or immediately after
operation.
If your phone gets wet, immediately
•
unplug it to dry off completely. Do not
attempt to accelerate the drying process
with an external heating source,such as
an oven, microwave or hair dryer.
The liquid in your wet phone, changes
•
the color of the product label inside
your phone. Damage to your device
as a result of exposure to liquid is not
covered under your warranty.
Efficient phone operation
Electronics devices
All mobile phones may receive
interference, which could affect
performance.
7
Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
Do not use your mobile phone near
•
medical equipment without requesting
permission. Avoid placing the phone
over pacemakers, for example, in your
breast pocket.
Some hearing aids might be disturbed
•
by mobile phones.
Minor interference may affect TVs,
•
radios, PCs etc.
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.
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.
•
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 whilst
out and about, please ensure that the
volume is at a reasonable level so that
you are aware of your surroundings.
This is of particular importance when
near roads.
8
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 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.
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 it. 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
Do not use your 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 or accessories.
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.
9
Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
Do not leave the battery in hot or cold
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
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.
Use only LG batteries and chargers. LG
•
chargers are designed to maximise the
battery life.
Do not disassemble or short-circuit the
•
battery.
Replace the battery when it no longer
•
provides acceptable performance.
The battery pack may be recharged
hundreds of times before it needs
replacing.
Recharge the battery if it has not been
•
used for a long time to maximise
usability.
Do not expose the battery charger to
•
direct sunlight or use it in high humidity,
such as in the bathroom.
•
places, as this may deteriorate battery
performance.
There is risk of explosion if the battery is
•
replaced with an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to
•
the manufacturer's instructions. Please
recycle when possible. Do not dispose
as household waste.
If you need to replace the battery, take it
•
to the nearest authorised LG Electronics
service point or dealer for assistance.
Always unplug the charger from the
•
wall socket after the phone is fully
charged to save unnecessary power
consumption of the charger.
Actual battery life will depend on
•
network configuration, product
settings, usage patterns, battery and
environmental conditions.
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.
