detached may cause a choking hazard.

Emergency calls

Emergency calls may not be available under all cellular networks. Therefore, you
should never depend solely on the 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 maximize the

battery life.

›

Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery pack.

›

Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. The battery

pack may be recharged hundreds of times before it needs to be replaced.

›

Do not expose the battery charger to direct sunlight or use it in high humidity, such

as the bathroom.

›

Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.

›

Dispose off used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

›

Actual battery life will depend on network configuration, product settings, usage

patterns, battery and environmental conditions.

Exposure to radio frequency energy

Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information

This mobile phone model GB130 has been designed to comply with applicable safety
requirement for exposure to radio waves. This requirement is based on scientific
guidelines that include safety margins designed to ensure safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.

›

The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the

Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standardized
methods with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used
frequency bands.

›

While there may be differences between the SAR 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) is 2W/kg averaged over ten (10) gram of tissue.

›

The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by DASY4 for use at the ear is

0.573 W/kg (10g) and when worn on the body is 0.495 W/Kg(10g).

›

SAR data information for residents in countries/regions that have adopted the SAR

limit recommended by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is

1.6 W/kg averaged over one (1) gram of tissue.

22

❑ Network service

The wireless phone described in this guide is approved for use on the GSM 900, DCS
1800 network.

›

Dualband is a network dependent feature. Check with your local service provider if

you can subscribe to and use this feature.

›

A number of features included in this guide are called Network Services. These are

special services that you arrange through your wireless service provider. Before you
can take advantage of any of these Network Services, you must subscribe to them
through your service provider and obtain instructions for their use from your service
provider.
