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 LG-GW382f 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.

•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 0.916 W/kg

(10 g) and when worn on the body is 0.870 W/Kg (10 g).

•The SAR limit recommended by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1g of tissue.

•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 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.

W382f_Telstra_1.1_110426.indd 6

4/26/11 9:47:41 AM

•Do not use the phone or accessories in places with high humidity such as pools,

greenhouses, solariums or tropical environments; it may cause damage to the phone and may void your warranty.

Efficient phone operation

Electronic and medical devices

All mobile phones may get interference, which could affect performance.

•Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment. Avoid placing the phone over

pacemakers, for example, in your breast pocket.

•Mobile phones may interfere with some hearing aids.

•Minor interference may affect 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.

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.

W382f_Telstra_1.1_110426.indd 7

4/26/11 9:47:42 AM

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

•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.

•If your vehicle is equipped with an airbag, ensure it is not

obstructed by your mobile device or accessories. It may fail or cause a serious injury if obstructed when deployed.

•If you are listening to music while out and about, please ensure that the volume is at a reasonable level so that 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 on or off the handset close to your ear. We also recospmmend 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.

W382f_Telstra_1.1_110426.indd 8

4/26/11 9:47:42 AM

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.

•Use your wireless phone to call emergency services for yourself or others. In the case of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies;

∙Australia: Dial 0-0-0,

∙New Zealand: Dial 1-1-1,

∙International: Dial 1-1-2,

∙other local emergency number.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

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 maximize the battery life.

•Do not disassemble or shortcircuit 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.

•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.

Driver Safety Tips

When driving 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:

•Use a hands free device. If possible, add an additional layer of convenience and safety to your wireless phone with one of the many hands free accessories available today.

•Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions.

•Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Jotting down a “to do” list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility, driving safely.

•If possible, place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when you will not be driving.

•Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that have the potential to divert your attention from the road.
