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 section is related to the Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information: The mobile phone model GD910 has been designed to comply with applicable safety requirements regarding exposure to radio waves. These requirements are based on scientific guidelines that include safety margins designed to ensure 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, all LG phones are 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 2 W/kg, averaged over 10 g of tissue.

•The highest SAR value for this phone model, tested by DASY4, for use when worn on the body is 0.486 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.

How to handle your Bluetooth headset

Avoiding hearing damage

Permanent hearing loss may occur if you use your Bluetooth headset at a high volume. Set the volume to a safe level. If you adapt over time to a high volume, it may sound normal, but it could still be damaging your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop using the headset, and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the faster your hearing could be affected.

Hearing experts suggest the following to protect your hearing:

•Limit the amount of time you use your Bluetooth headset at high volumes.

•Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.

•Use the volume at a safe level if possible.

Using Headsets safely

•Use of Headsets to listen to music while operating a vehicle is not recommended and is illegal in some areas. Be careful and attentive while driving.

•Stop using this device if you find it disruptive or distracting while operating any type of vehicle or performing any activity that requires your full attention.

Driver Safety Tips

When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and remember the following tips:

16 LG GD910 | User Guide

Guidelines for safe and efﬁ cient use

•Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Jotting down a “to do” list or flipping through your Contacts takes attention away from your primary responsibility, driving safely.

•If possible, 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 wireless phone to call emergency services for yourself or others. Dial 0-0-0 for local emergency services in the case of fire, traffic accident or medical

emergencies in Australia. Dial 1-1-1 for local emergency number in New Zealand. Dial 1-1-2 any where in the world to reach emergency services. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!
