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
GT540 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.
• 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 10 g
of tissue.
• 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 1 g 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 1.39 W/kg (10 g).
8
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
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.
• Keep away from electrical
appliances, such as TVs,
radios, and personal
computers.
• The unit should be kept away
from heat sources, such as
radiators or cookers.
• Do not drop.
• Do not subject this unit to
mechanical vibration or shock.
• Turn 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 and can
seriously damage your phone.
• Do not to charge a handset
near flammable material, as
the handset can become hot
and create a fire hazard.
• Use a dry cloth to clean the
exterior of the unit (do not use
solvents such as benzene,
thinner, or alcohol).
• Do not charge the phone when
it is on soft furnishings.
• Charge the phone in a well-
ventilated area.
9
• Do not subject this unit to
excessive smoke or dust.
• Do not keep the phone next
to credit cards or transport
tickets; it can affect the
information on the magnetic
strips.
• Do not tap the screen with
a sharp object, as it may
damage the phone.
• Do not expose the phone to
liquid or moisture.
• Use accessories like earphones
cautiously. Do not touch the
antenna unnecessarily.
Efficient phone operation
Electronic devices
• All mobile phones may
experience 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
while driving in the area.
• Do not use a hand-held phone
while driving.
• Pay 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.
10
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
• 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
while on the go, please
make sure the volume is at a
reasonable level so 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.
We therefore recommend that
you do not turn the handset on
or off while close to your ear.
We also recommend that music
and call volumes are set to
reasonable levels.
NOTE!
Excessive sound
pressure from earphones can
cause hearing loss.
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 touch or attempt to remove.
Stop using your mobile device
until an authorised service
provider replaces the glass.
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.
11
• 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,
or activate flight mode 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
that may cause a choking hazard
if detached.
Emergency calls
Emergency calls may not be
available in all mobile networks.
Therefore, you should never
depend solely on the phone for
emergency calls. Check with
your local service provider.
Battery information and
care
• You do not need to completely
discharge the battery before
recharging. Unlike other battery
systems, there is no memory
effect that could compromise
the battery’s performance.
• Use only LG batteries and
chargers. LG chargers are
designed to maximise battery
life.
• Do not disassemble or short-
circuit the battery pack.
• Keep the metal contacts of the
battery pack clean.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
• Replace the battery when it
no longer provides acceptable
performance. The battery pack
may be recharged hundreds of
times until it needs replacing.
• Recharge the battery if it has
not been used for a long time
to maximise 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 battery
performance.
• There is risk of explosion if
the battery is replaced with an
incorrect type.
• Dispose of used batteries
according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Please recycle when possible.
Do not dispose of in household
waste.
12
• If you must replace the
battery, take it to the nearest
authorised 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 by the charger.
• Actual battery life depends on
network configuration, product
settings, usage patterns,
battery, and environmental
conditions.
