FCC RF Exposure Information

WARNING! Read this information

before operating the phone.
In August 1996, the Federal

Communications Commission
(FCC) of the United States, with its
action in Report and Order FCC
96- 326, adopted an updated safety
standard for human exposure to
radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic
energy emitted by FCC regulated
transmitters. Those guidelines are
consistent with the safety standard
previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies.

The design of this phone complies
with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards.

CAUTION

Use only the supplied and approved
antenna. Use of unauthorized
antennas or modifications could
impair call quality, damage the phone,
void your warranty and/or result
in violation of FCC regulations. Do
not use the phone with a damaged
antenna. If a damaged antenna
comes into contact with skin, a minor
burn may result. Contact your local
dealer for a replacement antenna.

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical
bodyworn operations with the back
of the phone kept 1.5cm(0.6 inches)
between the user’s body and the
back of the phone. To comply with
FCC RF exposure requirements, a
minimum separation distance of 0.6
inches(1.5cm) must be maintained
between the user s body and the
back of the phone. Third-party
beltclips, holsters, and similar
accessories containing metallic
components should not be used.

9

For Your Safety

Body-worn accessories that
cannot maintain 1.5cm(0.6 inches)
separation distance between the
user’s body and the back of the
phone, and have not been tested for
typical body-worn operations may not
comply with FCC RF exposure limits
and should be avoided.

Exposure to Radio Frequency
Signal

Your wireless handheld portable
telephone is a lowpower radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is
ON, it receives and also sends out
radio frequency (RF) signals.

In August, 1996, the Federal
Communications Commissions (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with
safety levels for handheld wireless
phones. Those guidelines are
consistent with the safety standards
previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies:

ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
Those standards were based

on comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant scientific
literature. For example, over 120
scientists, engineers, and physicians
from universities, government health
agencies, and industry reviewed the
available body of research to

develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
* American National Standards

Institute;National Council
on Radiation Protection and
Measurements;Interna tional
Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection

The design of your phone complies
with the FCC guidelines (and those
standards).

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or an approved
replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the phone
and may violate FCC regulations.

65

Safety Guidelines

Phone Operation

NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone
as you would any other telephone
with the antenna pointed up and over
your shoulder.

Tips on Efficient Operation

For your phone to operate most
efficiently:

• Do not touch the antenna

unnecessarily when the phone is
in use. Contact with the antenna
affects call quality and may cause
the phone to operate at a higher
power level than otherwise needed.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on
the use of wireless phones in the
areas where you drive. Always obey
them. Also, if using your phone while
driving, please:

• Give full attention to driving - driving

safely is your first responsibility;

• Use hands-free operation, if

available;

• Pull off the road and park before

making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.

LG GW300FD | User Guide66

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment
is shielded from RF signals. However,
certain electronic equipment may not
be shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless phone.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers
Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6’) inches
be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to
avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommendations
are consistent with the independent
research by and recommendations of
Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers:

• Should ALWAYS keep the phone

more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is
turned ON;

• Should not carry the phone in a

breast pocket.

• Should use the ear opposite the

pacemaker to minimize the potential
for interference.

• If you have any reason to suspect

that interference is taking place,
turn your phone OFF immediately.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may
interfere with some hearing aids. In
the event of such interference, you
may want to consult your service
provider.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical
device, consult the manufacturer of
your device to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external
RF energy. Your physician may be
able to assist you in obtaining this
information.

Health Care Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in health care
facilities when any regulations posted
in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may
use equipment that could be sensitive
to external RF energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly
installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer or its
representative regarding your vehicle.

You should also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment that
has been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in any facility
where posted notices so require.

FDA Consumer Update

The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration Centre for Devices and
Radiological Health Consumer Update
on Mobile Phones.

1. Do wireless phones pose a

health hazard?

The available scientific evidence does
not show that any health problems
are associated with using wireless
phones. There is no proof, however,

that wireless phones are absolutely
safe. Wireless phones emit low levels
of radiofrequency energy (RF) in the
microwave range while being used.
They also emit very low levels of RF
when in the standby mode. Whereas
high levels of RF can produce health
effects (by heating tissue), exposure
to low level RF that does not produce
heating effects causes no known
adverse health effects. Many studies
of low level RF exposures have not
found any biological effects. Some
studies have suggested that some
biological effects may occur, but such
findings have not been confirmed
by additional research. In some
cases, other researchers have had
difficulty in reproducing those studies,
or in determining the reasons for
inconsistent results.

2. What is the FDA’s role
concerning the safety of
wireless phones?

Under the law, the FDA does not
review the safety of radiationemitting
consumer products such as
wireless phones before they can
be sold, as it does with new drugs

71

Safety Guidelines

or medical devices. However, the
agency has authority to take action
if wireless phones are shown to emit
radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level
that is hazardous to the user. In such
a case, the FDA could require the
manufacturers of wireless phones to
notify users of the health hazard and
to repair, replace, or recall the phones
so that the hazard no longer exists.

Although the existing scientific data
do not justify FDA regulatory actions,
the FDA has urged the wireless
phone industry to take a number of
steps, including the following:

• Support needed research into

possible biological effects of RF
of the type emitted by wireless
phones;

• Design wireless phones in a way

that minimizes any RF exposure to
the user that is not necessary for
device function; and

• Cooperate in providing users of

wireless phones with the best
possible information on possible
effects of wireless phone use on
human health.

LG GW300FD | User Guide72

The FDA belongs to an interagency
working group of the federal agencies
that have responsibility for different
aspects of RF safety to ensure
coordinated efforts at the federal
level. The following agencies belong
to this working group:

• National Institute for Occupational

Safety and Health

• Environmental Protection Agency

• Occupational Safety and Health

Administration (Administración de la
seguridad y salud laborales)

• Occupational Safety and Health

Administration

• National Telecommunications

and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health
participates in some interagency
working group activities, as well.

The FDA shares regulatory
responsibilities for wireless phones
with the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). All phones that
are sold in the United States must
comply with FCC safety guidelines
that limit RF exposure. The FCC relies
on the FDA and other health agencies

for safety questions about wireless
phones.

The FCC also regulates the base
stations that the wireless phone
networks rely upon. While these base
stations operate at higher power than
do the wireless phones themselves,
the RF exposures that people get
from these base stations are typically
thousands of times lower than those
they can get from wireless phones.
Base stations are thus not the subject
of the safety questions discussed in
this document.

3. What kinds of phones are the
subject of this update?

The term ‘wireless phone’ refers
here to handheld wireless phones
with built-in antennas, often called
‘cell’, ‘mobile’, or ‘PCS’ phones.
These types of wireless phones
can expose the user to measurable
radiofrequency energy (RF) because
of the short distance between the
phone and the user’s head. These
RF exposures are limited by FCC
safety guidelines that were developed
with the advice of the FDA and other

federal health and safety agencies.
When the phone is located at greater
distances from the user, the exposure
to RF is drastically lower because
a person’s RF exposure decreases
rapidly with increasing distance from
the source. The so-called ‘cordless
phones,’ which have a base unit
connected to the telephone wiring in
a house, typically operate at far lower
power levels, and thus produce RF
exposures far below the FCC safety
limits.

4. What are the results of the
research done already?

The research done thus far has
produced conflicting results, and
many studies have suffered from
flaws in their research methods.
Animal experiments investigating the
effects of radiofrequency energy (RF)
exposures characteristic of wireless
phones have yielded conflicting
results that often cannot be repeated
in other laboratories. A few animal
studies, however, have suggested
that low levels of RF could accelerate
the development of cancer in
laboratory animals. However, many

73

Safety Guidelines

of the studies that showed increased
tumor development used animals
that had been genetically engineered
or treated with cancer causing
chemicals so as to be predisposed to
develop cancer in the absence of RF
exposure. Other studies exposed the
animals to RF for up to 22 hours per
day. These conditions are not similar
to the conditions under which people
use wireless phones, so we don’t
know with certainty what the results
of such studies mean for human
health.

Three large epidemiology studies
have been published since December

2000. Between them, the studies
investigated any possible association
between the use of wireless phones
and primary brain cancer, glioma,
meningioma, or acoustic neuroma,
tumors of the brain or salivary
gland, leukemia, or other cancers.
None of the studies demonstrated
the existence of any harmful health
effects from wireless phone RF
exposures. However, none of the
studies can answer questions about
longterm exposures, since the

LG GW300FD | User Guide74

average period of phone use in these
studies was around three years.

5. What research is needed to
decide whether RF exposure
from wireless phones poses a
health risk?

A combination of laboratory studies
and epidemiological studies of people
actually using wireless phones would
provide some of the data that are
needed. Lifetime animal exposure
studies could be completed in a few
years. However, very large numbers
of animals would be needed to
provide reliable proof of a cancer
promoting effect if one exists.
Epidemiological studies can provide
data that is directly applicable to
human populations, but 10 or more
years follow-up may be needed to
provide answers about some health
effects, such as cancer. This is
because the interval between the
time of exposure to a cancer-causing
agent and the time tumors develop

- if they domay be many, many years.

The interpretation of epidemiological
studies is hampered by difficulties
in measuring actual RF exposure

during day-to-day use of wireless
phones. Many factors affect this
measurement, such as the angle at
which the phone is held, or which
model of phone is used.

6. What is the FDA doing to find
out more about the possible
health effects of wireless phone
RF?

The FDA is working with the U.S.
National Toxicology Program and
with groups of investigators around
the world to ensure that high priority
animal studies are conducted
to address important questions
about the effects of exposure to
radiofrequency energy (RF). The
FDA has been a leading participant
in the World Health Organization
International Electromagnetic Fields
(EMF) Project since its inception in

1996. An influential result of this

work has been the development of
a detailed agenda of research needs
that has driven the establishment of
new research programs around the
world. The project has also helped
develop a series of public information
documents on EMF issues. The FDA

and the Cellular Telecommunications
& Internet Association (CTIA) have
a formal Cooperative Research
and Development Agreement
(CRADA) to do research on wireless
phone safety. The FDA provides
the scientific oversight, obtaining
input from experts in government,
industry, and academic organizations.
CTIAfunded research is conducted
through contracts with independent
investigators. The initial research
will include both laboratory studies
and studies of wireless phone users.
The CRADA will also include a broad
assessment of additional research
needs in the context of the latest
research developments around the
world.

7. How can I find out how
much radio frequency energy
exposure I can get by using my
wireless phone?

All phones sold in the United
States must comply with Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
guidelines that limit radio frequency
energy (RF) exposures.

75

Safety Guidelines

The FCC established these guidelines
in consultation with the FDA and
the other federal health and safety
agencies. The FCC limit for RF
exposure from wireless telephones
is set at a Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6
W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent
with the safety standards developed
by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and
the National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurement.
The exposure limit takes into
consideration the body’s ability to
remove heat from the tissues that
absorb energy from the wireless
phone and is set well below levels
known to have effects. Manufacturers
of wireless phones must report the
RF exposure level for each model of
phone to the FCC.

The FCC website (http://www.fcc.
gov/oet/ rfsafety) gives directions
for locating the FCC identification
number on your phone so you can
find your phone’s RF exposure level in
the online listing.

LG GW300FD | User Guide76

8. What has the FDA done to
measure the radio frequency
energy coming from wireless
phones?

The Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is
developing a technical standard
for measuring the radio frequency
energy (RF) exposure from wireless
phones and other wireless handsets
with the participation and leadership
of FDA scientists and engineers.
The standard, ‘Recommended
Practice for Determining the Spatial­Peak Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR) in the Human Body Due to
Wireless Communications Devices:
Experimental Techniques,’ sets forth
the first consistent test methodology
for measuring the rate at which RF
is deposited in the heads of wireless
phone users. The test method uses
a tissuesimulating model of the
human head. Standardized SAR
test methodology is expected to
greatly improve the consistency of
measurements made at different
laboratories on the same phone. SAR
is the measurement of the amount

of energy absorbed in tissue, either
by the whole body or a small part of
the body. It is measured in watts/kg
(or milliwatts/g) of matter. This
measurement is used to determine
whether a wireless phone complies
with safety guidelines.

9. What steps can I take to reduce
my exposure to radiofrequency
energy from my wireless
phone?

If there is a risk from these products

- and at this point we do not know

that there is - it is probably very
small. But if you are concerned
about avoiding even potential
risks, you can take a few simple
steps to minimize your exposure to
radiofrequency energy (RF). Since
time is a key factor in how much
exposure a person receives, reducing
the amount of time spent using
a wireless phone will reduce RF
exposure.

If you must conduct extended
conversations by wireless phone
every day, you could place more
distance between your body and

the source of the RF, since the
exposure level drops off dramatically
with distance. For example, you
could use a headset and carry the
wireless phone away from your body
or use a wireless phone connected
to a remote antenna. Again, the
scientific data do not demonstrate
that wireless phones are harmful.
But if you are concerned about the
RF exposure from these products,
you can use measures like those
described above to reduce your RF
exposure from wireless phone use.

10. What about children using
wireless phones?

The scientific evidence does not
show a danger to users of wireless
phones, including children and
teenagers. If you want to take steps
to lower exposure to radiofrequency
energy (RF), the measures described
above would apply to children and
teenagers using wireless phones.
Reducing the time of wireless
phone use and increasing the
distance between the user and the
RF source will reduce RF exposure.
Some groups sponsored by other

77

Safety Guidelines

national governments have advised
that children be discouraged from
using wireless phones at all. For
example, the government in the
United Kingdom distributed leaflets
containing such a recommendation
in December 2000. They noted
that no evidence exists that using
a wireless phone causes brain
tumors or other ill effects. Their
recommendation to limit wireless
phone use by children was strictly
precautionary; it was not based on
scientific evidence that any health
hazard exists.

11. What about wireless phone
interference with medical
equipment?

Radio frequency energy (RF) from
wireless phones can interact with
some electronic devices. For this
reason, the FDA helped develop a
detailed test method to measure
electromagnetic interference (EMI)
of implanted cardiac pacemakers
and defibrillators from wireless
telephones. This test method is now
part of a standard sponsored by the
Association for the Advancement of

LG GW300FD | User Guide78

Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The
final draft, a joint effort by the FDA,
medical device manufacturers, and
many other groups, was completed
in late 2000. This standard will
allow manufacturers to ensure that
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators
are safe from wireless phone EMI.
The FDA has tested hearing aids
for interference from handheld
wireless phones and helped develop
a voluntary standard sponsored
by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This
standard specifies test methods
and performance requirements for
hearing aids and wireless phones so
that no interference occurs when a
person uses a ‘compatible’ phone
and a ‘compatible’ hearing aid at
the same time. This standard was
approved by the IEEE in 2000. The
FDA continues to monitor the use
of wireless phones for possible
interactions with other medical
devices. Should harmful interference
be found to occur, the FDA will
conduct testing to assess the
interference and work to resolve the
problem.

10 Driver Safety Tips

Your wireless phone gives you the
powerful ability to communicate by
voice almost anywhere, anytime. An
important responsibility accompanies
the benefits of wireless phones, one
that every user must uphold.

When operating a car, driving is your
first responsibility.

When using your wireless phone
behind the wheel of a car, practice
good common sense and remember
the following tips:

1. Get to know your wireless phone
and its features such as speed
dial and redial. Carefully read
your instruction manual and learn
to take advantage of valuable
features most phones offer,
including automatic redial and
memory. Also, work to memorize
the phone keypad so you can use
the speed dial function without
taking your attention off the road.

2. When available, use a handsfree
device. A number of handsfree
wireless phone accessories are
readily available today. Whether
you choose an installed mounted
device for your wireless phone
or a speaker phone accessory,
take advantage of these devices if
available to you.

3. Position your wireless phone
within easy reach. Make sure you
place your wireless phone within
easy reach and where you can

79

Safety Guidelines

reach it without removing your
eyes from the road. If you get an
incoming call at an inconvenient
time, if possible, let your voicemail
answer it for you.

4. Suspend conversations during
hazardous driving conditions or
situations. Let the person you
are speaking with know you are
driving; if necessary, suspend the
call in heavy traffic or hazardous
weather conditions. Rain, sleet,
snow and ice can be hazardous,
but so is heavy traffic. As a driver,
your first responsibility is to pay
attention to the road.

5. Do not take notes or look up
phone numbers while driving. If
you are reading an address book
or business card, or writing a “to­do” list while driving a car, you are
not watching where you are going.
It is common sense. Don’t get
caught in a dangerous situation
because you are reading or writing
and not paying attention to the
road or nearby vehicles.

LG GW300FD | User Guide80

6. Dial sensibly and assess the
traffic; if possible, place calls
when you are not moving or
before pulling into traffic. Try to
plan your calls before you begin
your trip or attempt to coincide
your calls with times you may be
stopped at a stop sign, red light
or otherwise stationary. But if you
need to dial while driving, follow
this simple tip— dial only a few
numbers, check the road and your
mirrors, then continue.

7. Do not engage in stressful or
emotional conversations that
may be distracting. Stressful or
emotional conversations and
driving do not mix; they are
distracting and even dangerous
when you are behind the wheel of
a car. Make people you are talking
with aware you are driving and if
necessary, suspend conversations
which have the potential to divert
your attention from the road.

8. Use your wireless phone to call
for help. Your wireless phone is
one of the greatest tools you can
own to protect yourself and your

family in dangerous situations
— with your phone at your side,
help is only three numbers away.
Dial 911 or other local emergency
number in the case of fire, traffic
accident, road hazard or medical
emergency. Remember, it is a free
call on your wireless phone!

9. Use your wireless phone to help
others in emergencies. Your
wireless phone provides you a
perfect opportunity to be a “Good
Samaritan” in your community. If
you see an auto accident, crime
in progress or other serious
emergency where lives are in
danger, call 911 or other local
emergency number, as you would
want others to do for you.

10. Call roadside assistance or a

special wireless nonemergency
assistance number when
necessary. Certain situations
you encounter while driving
may require attention, but are
not urgent enough to merit a
call for emergency services. But
you can still use your wireless
phone to lend a hand. If you see

a broken-down vehicle posing no
serious hazard, a broken traffic
signal, a minor traffic accident
where no one appears injured or
a vehicle. you know to be stolen,
call roadside assistance or other
special non-emergency wireless
number.

Consumer Information on SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate)

This Model Phone Meets the
Government’s Requirements for
Exposure to Radio Waves.

Your wireless phone is a radio
transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not
to exceed the emission limits
for exposure to radio frequency
(RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
of the U.S. Government. These
limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted
levels of RF energy for the general

81

Safety Guidelines

population. The guidelines are
based on standards that were
developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed
to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health. The
exposure standard for wireless
mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
* Tests for SAR are conducted
using standard operating positions
specified by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although SAR is determined
at the highest certified power level,
the actual SAR level of the phone
while operating can be well below
the maximum value. Because the
phone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels to use only the
power required to reach the network,
in general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, the

LG GW300FD | User Guide82

lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for

sale to the public, it must be tested
and certified to the FCC that it does
not exceed the limit established by
the governmentadopted requirement
for safe exposure. The tests are
performed in positions and locations
(e.g., at the ear and worn on the
body) as required by the FCC for
each model.

The highest SAR value for this model
phone when tested for use at the
ear is 1.16 W/kg and when worn on
the body, as described in this user’s
manual, is 0.802 W/kg. (Body-worn
measurements differ among phones
models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC requirements.)
While there may be differences
between SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they
all meet the government requirement
for safe exposure.

The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model phone
with all reported SAR levels evaluated
as in compliance with the FCC RF
emission guidelines. SAR information

on this model phone is on file with
the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of http://www.
fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching
on FCC ID BEJKP330. Additional
information on Specific Absorption
Rates (SAR) can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications Industry
Association (CTIA) website at http://
www.wow-com.com

* In the United States and Canada,

the SAR limit for mobile phones
used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg
(W/kg) averaged over one gram of
tissue. The standard incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public
and to account for any variations in
measurements.

Consignes de sécurité

AVERTISSEMENT! Afin de minimiser
les risques de choc électrique,
n’exposez pas l’appareil à une forte
humidité (salles de bain, piscines,
etc.).

Rangez toujours l’appareil loin de la
chaleur. N’exposez jamais l’appareil

à une température inférieure à - 18
°C ou supérieure à 40 °C , comme
à l’extérieur en hiver ou dans votre
voiture en été. L’exposition de
l’appareil à une chaleur ou à un froid
excessif peut entraîner un mauvais

LG GW300FD | Guide de l’utilisateur6

fonctionnement, des dommages et
des pannes graves.

Faites preuve de prudence si vous
utilisez l’appareil près d’autres
appareils électroniques.

Les émissions RF de votre téléphone
cellulaire peuvent affecter les
appareils électroniques à proximité
lorsque ceux-ci ne sont pas
convenablement protégés. Vous
devriez consulter les fabricants
d’appareils médicaux personnels
(p. ex., stimulateurs cardiaques ou
prothèses auditives) pour savoir s’ils
sont sensibles au signal émis par
votre téléphone mobile. Éteignez
toujours votre appareil dans les
établissements de soins de santé
ainsi que dans les stations-service.
Ne placez jamais l’appareil dans
un four à micro-ondes car la pile
exploserait.

Renseignements sur la sécurité

•

Lisez ces simples consignes. Le
non-respect de ces règles pourrait
être dangereux ou illégal. D’autres
renseignements détaillés sont
fournis dans ce mode d’emploi.

•

N’utilisez jamais une pile
non approuvée; cela pourrait

endommager le téléphone et faire
exploser la pile.

•

Ne jetez pas les piles au feu ou
avec des matières dangereuses ou
inflammables.

•

Veillez à ce qu’aucun objet pointu
ou tranchant n’entre en contact
avec la pile. Cela pourrait provoquer
un incendie.

•

Rangez la pile dans un endroit hors
de la portée des enfants.

•

Veillez à ce que les enfants
n’avalent aucune pièce, telle que
les bouchons en caoutchouc
(écouteur, pièces de connexion de
votre téléphone, etc.). Ils pourraient
s’asphyxier ou suffoquer.

•

Pour éviter les risques
d’électrocution et d’incendie,
débranchez le cordon électrique et
le chargeur pendant les orages.

•

En voiture, il ne faut pas laisser le
téléphone ou installer l’ensemble
mains-libres près du coussin de
sécurité gonflable. Si l’équipement
sans fil est incorrectement installé
et que le coussin gonflable se
déploie, il pourrait provoquer des
blessures graves.

•

Ne conduisez pas en tenant votre

téléphone portatif dans la main.

•

N’utilisez pas le téléphone là où

son utilisation est interdite (p. ex.
dans un avion).

•

N’exposez pas l’adaptateur ou le

chargeur à la lumière directe du
soleil et ne les utilisez pas dans les
endroits très humides comme les
salles de bains.

•

Ne rangez pas votre téléphone à
des températures inférieures à - 20
°C (- 4 °F) ou supérieures à 50 °C
(122 °F).

•

N’utilisez ni produit chimique

(alcool, benzène, diluant, etc.) ni
détergent corrosif pour nettoyer
votre téléphone. Cela pourrait
provoquer un incendie.

•

Évitez de laisser tomber le

téléphone par terre, de le frapper
ou de le secouer. Le choc ou les
vibrations pourraient endommager
les circuits électroniques du
téléphone.

•

N’utilisez pas votre appareil dans

les endroits à risques d’explosion
élevés, car il peut produire des
étincelles.

Pour votre sécurité

•

N’abîmez pas le cordon électrique

en le tordant, l’entortillant, le tirant
ou l’exposant à la chaleur. N’utilisez
pas la prise si elle est lâche car
cela pourrait provoquer un incendie
ou une électrocution.

•

Ne posez aucun objet lourd sur le

cordon électrique. Ne pincez pas
le cordon électrique. Cela pourrait
provoquer un incendie ou un choc
électrique.

•

Ne manipulez pas votre téléphone

avec les mains mouillées pendant
qu’il se recharge. Vous pourriez
vous électrocuter ou endommager
le téléphone.

•

Ne démontez pas le téléphone.

•

Ne faites pas d’appels et ne
répondez pas au téléphone pendant
la charge, car cela pourrait causer
un court-circuit, un choc électrique
ou un incendie.

•

Utilisez uniquement les piles, les

antennes et les chargeurs fournis
par LG. La garantie ne s’applique
pas aux produits provenant
d’autres fournisseurs.

•

Seul un personnel autorisé

devrait réparer le téléphone et

LG GW300FD | Guide de l’utilisateur8

ses accessoires. Une installation
ou réparation incorrecte pourrait
entraîner des accidents et annuler
ainsi la garantie.

•

Pendant un appel, ne tenez pas

l’antenne de l’appareil et évitez
qu’elle entre en contact avec votre
corps.

•

Les appels d’urgence ne peuvent

être faits que dans une zone de
service. Si vous devez faire un
appel d’urgence, assurez-vous
d’être dans une zone de service et
que votre téléphone est allumé.

•

Utilisez les accessoires, tels que les

écouteurs et les casques d’écoute,
avec prudence. Veillez à ce que
leurs fils de raccordement soient
bien rangés, afin qu’ils ne posent
aucun danger, et à ce qu’ils ne
touchent pas inutilement l’antenne.

Renseignements de la FCC
au sujet de l’exposition aux
radiofréquences

AVERTISSEMENT!

avant d’utiliser le téléphone.

Au mois d’août 1996, la Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC) des États-Unis a, par le biais
d’un document intitulé Report and

Lisez cette information

Order FCC 96-326, adopté une
nouvelle norme de sécurité en ce qui
concerne l’exposition des personnes
à l’énergie électromagnétique des
radiofréquences (RF) émanant des
émetteurs réglementés par la FCC.
Ces directives sont conformes à la
norme de sécurité précédemment
établie par les organismes de
normalisation des États-Unis et des
autres pays.

La conception de cet appareil est
conforme aux directives de la FCC et
à ces normes internationales.

MISE EN GARDE

N’utilisez que l’antenne homologuée
fournie. L’utilisation d’antennes non
homologuées et les modifications non
autorisées peuvent nuire à la qualité
des appels, endommager l’appareil,
annuler la garantie et contrevenir aux
règlements de la FCC.

N’utilisez pas l’appareil si l’antenne
est endommagée. Une antenne
endommagée qui entre en contact
avec la peau peut provoquer une
brûlure légère. Appelez votre
détaillant local pour obtenir un
antenne de rechange.
