Guidelines for safe and ecient use
Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specic Absorption Rate (SAR) information This mobile phone model BL40 has been
designed to comply with applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. These requirements are
based on scientic 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 Specic Absorption Rate, •
or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standardised methods with the phone transmitting at its highest
certied power level in all used frequency bands.
While there may be dierences 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 0.444 W/kg (10g) and when •
worn on the body is 0.512 W/Kg(10g).
Some hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile phones.•
Minor interference may aect TVs, radios, PCs, etc.•
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15cm be maintained between a mobile
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this use the phone on the
opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.

Switch o 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.
