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 GW300
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.
LG GW300 | User Guide6
• 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 1.16W/Kg (10g)
and when worn on the body is
0.802 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.
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.
• Switch 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.
• The phone should be charged in a
well ventilated area.
• 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.
7
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.
LG GW300 | User Guide8
• 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.
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.
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.
9
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
• Use only LG batteries and chargers.
LG chargers are designed to
maximize the battery life.
• Do not disassemble or short-circuit
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.
LG GW300 | User Guide10
• 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
and environmental conditions.
