Guidelines for safe and efficient 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 GM310 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 2 W/Kg averaged over 10g of tissue.
The highest SAR value for this
model phone tested by DASY4 for use at the ear is 0.479 W/Kg (10g) and when worn on the body is 1.52 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), which is 1.6 W/Kg averaged over 1g of tissue.

LG GM310 | User Guide8
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Use the accessories like earphones
cautiously. Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.
Efficient phone operation
Electronics devices
All mobile phones may get interference, which could affect performance.
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.
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.
Use a hands-free kit, if available.
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 particularly imperative when near roads.
9
Avoid damage to your hearing
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.
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 the 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 and 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.
Emergency calls
Emergency calls may not be available under all mobile networks. Therefore, you should never depend solely on the phone for emergency calls. Check with your local service provider.
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
LG GM310 | User Guide10
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
world to reach emergency services. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!

the battery pack.
Keep the metal contacts of the
battery pack clean.
Replace the battery when it
no longer provides acceptable performance. The battery pack maybe recharged hundreds of times until it needs replacing.
Recharge the battery if it has
not been used for a long time to maximize usability.
Do not expose the battery charger
to direct sunlight or use it in high humidity, such as in the bathroom.
Do not leave the battery in hot or
cold places, this may deteriorate the battery performance.
There is risk of explosion if the
battery is replaced by 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 authorized 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 a
nd environmental conditions.

Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless telephone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by voice - almost anywhere, anytime. But an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless phones, one that every user must uphold.
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:
Use a hands free device. If
possible, 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. Jotting down a “to do” list or flipping through your address book 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.
Call roadside assistance or a special
nonemergency wireless assistance number when necessary. 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 or other special non-emergency wireless number.

Your home screen
Your GM310 has a touchpad on the slide. You can determine what you see on the main screen using the touch keys.
Touchpad tips
There’s no need to press too hard, the touchpad is sensitive enough to pick up on a light touch.
Use the tip of your finger to touch
the option you require. Be careful not to touch any other keys around it.
Don’t cover the phone with a case
or cover as the touchpad will not work with any material covering it.
When the slide is closed or the
screen light is off, to prevent indiscreet action of the touch keys, the touch protection function is automatically enabled. (In this case, the touch keys will not work even if they are pressed.) To disable touch protection, press and hold the lock key on the right hand side of the phone.
When you enter an options menu,
the touchpad will provide a four way arrow pad. Either touch the arrows to move through a menu one item at a time, or slide your finger across the touchpad in the direction you want to move.
