LG GD880 | User Guide

Guidelines for safe and e cient use

Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal.

Exposure to radio frequency energy

Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information. This mobile phone model GD880 has been designed to comply with applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. These requirements are based on scientific guidelines that include safety margins designed to assure the 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 standardised 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 10g of tissue.

• The highest SAR value for this model

phone tested by DASY4 for use at the ear is 1.23 W/kg (10 g) and when worn on the body is 1.10 W/kg(10 g).

• The SAR limit recommended by the

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1g of tissue.

Product care and maintenance

WARNING

Only use batteries, chargers 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.

Do not disassemble this unit. Take

•

it to a qualified service technician when repair work is required.

Guidelines for safe and e cient use

• Repairs under warranty, at LG’s

option, may include replacement parts or boards that are either new or reconditioned, provided that they have functionality equal to that of the parts being replaced.

mechanical vibration or shock.

• Switch off the phone in any area

where you are required by special regulations. For example, do not use 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 which could cause injury or damage your phone

• Do not charge a handset near

flammable material as the handset can become hot and create a fire hazard.

LG GD880 | User Guide

near medical equipment without requesting permission. Avoid placing the phone over pacemakers, for example, in your breast pocket.

• Pull off the road and park before

making or answering a call if driving conditions allow you to do so.

• RF energy may affect some

electronic systems in your vehicle such as car stereos and safety equipment.

• If your vehicle is equipped with an

airbag, ensure it is not obstructed by your mobile device or accessories. It may fail or cause a serious injury if obstructed when deployed.

• 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 particularly important when near roads.

Avoid damage to your hearing

Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed to loud sound for long periods of time. Therefore we recommend not to turn the phone on or off while holding the handset close to your ear. We also recommend that music and call volumes are set to a reasonable level.

Guidelines for safe and e cient use

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.

network configuration, product settings, usage patterns, battery and environmental conditions.

Guidelines for safe and e cient use

Driver Safety Tips

Your mobile telephone gives you the powerful ability to communicate almost anywhere, anytime. But an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of mobile phones, one that every user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your mobile phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and remember the following tips:

• Use a hands free device to add an

additional layer of convenience and safety to your wireless phone with one of the many hands free accessories available today.

• Let the person you are speaking with

know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.

• Do not take notes or look up phone

numbers while driving. Typing up a “to do” list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility of driving safely.

LG GD880 | User Guide

• Place calls when you are not moving

or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when you will not be driving.

• Do not engage in stressful or

emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that have the potential to divert your attention from the road.

• Use your mobile phone to call

emergency services for yourself or others in the case of fire, traffic accident or medical emergincies;

- Australia Dial (0-0-0)

- New Zealand Dial (1-1-1)

- International Dial (1-1-2)

- other local emergency number. Remember, it is a free call when dialling emergency services from your mobile phone in Australia.

• Use your mobile phone to help

others in emergencies, if you see an auto accident crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call the emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.

• If you see a broken down vehicle

posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance, local traffic autority or police station.
