Exposure to radio frequency
energy
THIS DEVICE MEETS
INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio
transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to
exceed the limits for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) recommended
by international guidelines
(ICNIRP). These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and
establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population.
The guidelines were developed
by independent scientific
organisations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The guidelines include a
substantial safety margin designed
to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for
mobile devices employs a unit
of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit stated in the
international guidelines is 2.0
W/kg*. Tests for SAR are conducted
using standard operating positions
with the device transmitting at
its highest certified power level
in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at
the highest certified power level,
the actual SAR of the device while
operating can be well below the
9
Guidelines for safe and e cient use
maximum value. This is because
the device is designed to operate
at multiple power levels so as to
use only the power required to
reach the network. In general, the
closer you are to a base station,
the lower the power output
of the device. Before a phone
model is available for sale to
the public, compliance with the
European R&TTE directive must
be shown. This directive includes
as one essential requirement the
protection of the health and the
safety for the user and any other
person.
The highest SAR value for this
device when tested for use when
placed to the ear is 1.16 W/kg.
This device meets RF exposure
guidelines when used either in the
normal use position against the
ear or when positioned at least
1.5 cm away from the body. When
a carry case, belt clip or holder is
10
LG GM750 | User Guide
used for body-worn operation,
it should not contain metal and
should position the product at
least 1.5 cm away from your body.
In order to transmit data files or
messages, this device requires a
quality connection to the network.
In some cases, transmission of data
files or messages may be delayed
until such a connection is available.
Ensure the above separation
distance instructions are followed
until the transmission is completed.
The highest SAR value for this
device when tested for use when
worn on the body is 1.12 W/kg.
* The SAR limit for mobile
devices used by the public is 2.0
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged
over ten grams of body tissue.
The guidelines incorporate a
substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public
and to account for any variations
in measurements. SAR values
may vary depending on national
reporting requirements and the
network band.
For SAR information in other
regions please look under product
information at www. lgmobile.com.
FCC SAR information
Your mobile device is also
designed to meet the requirements
for exposure to radio waves
established by the Federal
Communications Commission
(USA) and Industry Canada. These
requirements set a SAR limit of
1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram
of tissue. The highest SAR value
reported under this standard
during product certification for use
when placed to the ear is 1.36 W/kg
and when properly worn on the
body is 1.06 W/kg.
Additionally, this device was tested
for typical body-worn operations
with the back of the phone kept
0.79 inches (2cm) between the
user’s body and the back of the
phone.
To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 0.79 inches
(2cm) must be maintained between
the user’s body and the back of the
phone.
6 FCC Notice & Caution
Notice!
This device complies with part
15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two
conditions:
(1) This device must not cause
harmful interference.
(2) This device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause
undesired operation.

interference, which could affect
performance.
Do not use your mobile phone
•
near medical equipment without
requesting permission. Please
consult your doctor to determine
if operation of your phone may
interfere with the operation of
your medical device.
Some hearing aids might be
•
disturbed by mobile phones.
Minor interference may affect TVs,
•
radios, PCs, etc.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers
recommend that a minimum
separation of 15cm is maintained
between a mobile phone and
a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker.
13
Guidelines for safe and e cient use
To ensure this, use the phone
at the opposite ear to your
pacemaker and do not carry it in a
breast pocket.
Hospitals
Switch off your wireless device
when requested to do so in
hospitals, clinics or health care
facilities. These requests are
designed to prevent possible
interference with sensitive medical
equipment.
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.
14
LG GM750 | User Guide
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.
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.
Glass Parts
Some parts of your mobile device
are made of glass. This glass
could break if your mobile device
is dropped on a hard surface or
receives a substantial impact. If
the glass breaks, do not press or
attempt to remove. Stop using
your mobile device until the glass
is replaced by an authorized service
provider.
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
•
refuelling 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.

Resetting the device
You may need to reset your device
occasionally. 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 more slowly 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
customised on the device will be
lost.
To perform a soft reset
Find the Soft reset key.

Use the stylus to press the reset key
and hold it for a while. Your device
may automatically restart and
