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.

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.

a serious injury if obstructed when
deployed.

• Ifyouarelisteningtomusicwhile

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.

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.
