applicable safety requirements for
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

• 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

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
and when worn on the body is
0.915 W/Kg(10g).
• SAR data information for
residents in countries/regions

Pacemakers, for example, in your
breast pocket or in the proximity of
a person with a pacemaker fitted.”
• 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.
• Pull off the road and park before

the volume is at a reasonable
level so that you are aware of your
surroundings. This is particularly
imperative when driving on roads.
Avoid damage to your

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.

Resetting the device
Occasionally you may need to reset
your device. A normal (or soft)
reset of your device clears all active
program memory and shuts down
all active programs. This can be
useful when the device is running
slower than normal, or a program
is not performing properly. A soft
reset is also necessary after the
installation of some programs.
If a soft reset is performed when
programs are running, unsaved
work will be lost.
You can also perform a hard reset
(also known as a full reset). A hard
reset should only be performed
if a normal reset does not solve a
system problem. After a hard reset,
the device is restored to its default
settings—the way it was when
you first purchased it and turned
it on. Any programs you installed,
data you entered, and settings you
customized on the device will be
lost.
20
LGGM730 | User Guide
To perform a soft reset
Find the Soft reset key. This is the
small hole inside the charger socket
cover on the right hand side of your
device (shown enclosed by circles in
the picture below).
Use the stylus to press the reset key
and hold it for a while. Your device
may shut down. Press the POWER
button, the device restarts and
displays the Home Screen.

Note the following Excel Mobile
formatting considerations:
86
LGGM730 | User Guide
Alignment. Horizontal, vertical,
and wrap-text attributes remain
the same, but vertical text
appears horizontal.
Borders. Appear as a single line.
Cell patterns. Patterns applied to
cells are removed.
Fonts and font sizes. Fonts not
supported by your device are
mapped to the closest font
available. The original font is
listed on your device. When the
workbook is opened in Excel
on your PC again, the data is
displayed in the original font.
Number formats. Numbers
formatted using the Microsoft
Excel 2007 Version 6.1 conditional
formatting feature are displayed
in Number format.
Formulas and functions. If an
Excel file contains a function that
is not supported by Excel Mobile,
the function is removed, and only
the returned value of the function
appears. The following formulas
are also converted to values:
formulas entered as an array or
containing an array argument,
for example, =SUM({1;2;3;4});
formulas containing external
link references or an intersection
range reference; and formulas
containing references past row
16384 are replaced with #REF!
Zoom settings. Are not retained.
Excel supports a per worksheet
zoom setting, while the Excel
Mobile zoom setting is applied to
the entire workbook.
Worksheet names. Names that
reference worksheets within the
same workbook are displayed
accurately, but names that refer
to other workbooks, arrays,
for example, ={1;2;3;4}, array
formulas, or intersection ranges
are removed from the name list. If
a name is removed from the list,
it is left in formulas and functions,
causing those formulas to be
resolved as “#NAME?” All hidden
names are not hidden.
AutoFilter settings. Are
removed. However, you can
use the AutoFilter command
in Excel Mobile to perform
similar functions. If you have an
AutoFilter applied to a worksheet
that causes rows to be hidden,
the rows remain hidden when the
file is opened in Excel Mobile. Use
the Unhide command to display
the hidden rows.
