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), which is 2W/kg averaged over ten (10) gram
of tissue.
• The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by
DASY3 for use at the ear is 1.080 W/kg (10g).
Warning: Use only batteries, charger and accessories
approved for use with this particular phone model.
The use of any other types may invalidate any
approval or warranty applying to the phone, and may
be dangerous.
