LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT
ARBITRATION NOTICE: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY CONTAINS AN
ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT REQUIRES YOU AND LG TO RESOLVE
DISPUTES BY BINDING ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF IN COURT, UNLESS YOU
CHOOSE TO OPT OUT. IN ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTIONS AND JURY TRIALS
ARE NOT PERMITTED. PLEASE SEE THE SECTION TITLED “PROCEDURE FOR
RESOLVING DISPUTES” BELOW.
Warranty Laws
The following laws govern warranties that arise in retail sales of consumer
goods:
• The California Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act [CC §§1790 et seq],
• The California Uniform Commercial Code, Division Two [Com C §§2101 et
seq], and
• The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Federal Trade Commission
Improvement Act [15 USC §§2301 et seq; 16 CFR Parts 701– 703].
A typical Magnuson-Moss Act warranty is a written promise that the
product is free of defects or a written promise to refund, repair, or replace
defective goods. [See 15 USC §2301(6).] Remedies include damages
for failing to honor a written warranty or service contract or for violating
disclosure provisions. [See 15 USC §2310(d).] Except for some labeling
and disclosure requirements, the federal Act does not preempt state law.
[See 15 USC §2311.]
1. WHAT THIS WARRANTY COVERS:
LG offers you a limited warranty that the enclosed subscriber unit and its
enclosed accessories will be free from defects in material and workmanship,
according to the following terms and conditions:
(1) The limited warranty for the product extends for TWELVE (12) MONTHS
beginning on the date of purchase of the product with valid proof of purchase,
or absent valid proof of purchase, FIFTEEN (15) MONTHS from date of
manufacture as determined by the unit's manufacture date code.
(2) The limited warranty extends only to the original purchaser of the product
and is not assignable or transferable to any subsequent purchaser/end user.

Page 5
(3) This warranty is good only to the original purchaser of the product during
the warranty period as long as it is in the U.S., including Alaska, Hawaii, U.S.
Territories and Canada.
(4) The external housing and cosmetic parts shall be free of defects at the
time of shipment and, therefore, shall not be covered under these limited
warranty terms.
(5) Upon request from LG, the consumer must provide information to
reasonably prove the date of purchase.
(6) The customer shall bear the cost of shipping the product to the Customer
Service Department of LG. LG shall bear the cost of shipping the product back
to the consumer after the completion of service under this limited warranty.
2. WHAT THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER:
(1) Defects or damages resulting from use of the product in other than its
normal and customary manner.
(2) Defects or damages from abnormal use, abnormal conditions, improper
storage, exposure to moisture or dampness, unauthorized modifications,
unauthorized connections, unauthorized repair, misuse, neglect, abuse,
accident, alteration, improper installation, or other acts which are not the
fault of LG, including damage caused by shipping, blown fuses, spills of food
or liquid.
(3) Breakage or damage to antennas unless caused directly by defects in
material or workmanship.
(4) That the Customer Service Department at LG was not notified by
consumer of the alleged defect or malfunction of the product during the
applicable limited warranty period.
(5) Products which have had the serial number removed or made illegible.
(6) This limited warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied
either in fact or by operations of law, statutory or otherwise, including, but not
limited to any implied warranty of marketability or fitness for a particular use.
5LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT

scratched or damaged due to normal customer use.
(9) Products operated outside published maximum ratings.
(10) Products used or obtained in a rental program.
(11) Consumables (such as fuses).
3. WHAT LG WILL DO:
LG will, at its sole option, either repair, replace or refund the purchase price
of any unit that is covered under this limited warranty. LG may choose at its
option to use functionally equivalent re-conditioned, refurbished or new units
or parts or any units. In addition, LG will not re-install or back-up any data,
applications or software that you have added to your phone. It is therefore
recommended that you back-up any such data or information prior to sending
the unit to LG to avoid the permanent loss of such information.
4. STATE LAW RIGHTS:
No other express warranty is applicable to this product. THE DURATION
OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MARKETABILITY OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, IS LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESS WARRANTY
HEREIN. LG SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE LOSS OF THE USE OF THE
PRODUCT, INCONVENIENCE, LOSS OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, DIRECT OR
CONSEQUENTIAL, ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE,
THIS PRODUCT OR FOR ANY BREACH OF ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
WARRANTY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MARKETABILITY OR
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE APPLICABLE
TO THIS PRODUCT.
Some states do not allow the exclusive limitation of incidental or
consequential damages or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts;
so these limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives
you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from
state to state.

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:
ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
IN ANY WAY TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT SHALL BE
RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, AND NOT IN A
COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. BINDING ARBITRATION MEANS THAT
YOU AND LG ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO
BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG
Electronics MobileComm U.S.A., Inc., its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and
each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, beneficiaries, predecessors
in interest, successors, assigns and suppliers; references to “dispute” or
“claim” shall include any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind whatsoever
(whether based in contract, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, fraud,
misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory) arising out of or
relating in any way to the sale, condition or performance of the product or this
Limited Warranty.
Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. You and LG agree
to resolve any claims between us only by binding arbitration on an individual
basis, unless you opt out as provided below. Any dispute between you and
LG shall not be combined or consolidated with a dispute involving any other
person’s or entity’s product or claim. More specifically, without limitation of the
foregoing, any dispute between you and LG shall not under any circumstances
proceed as part of a class or representative action. Instead of arbitration,
either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, but that small
claims court action may not be brought on a class or representative basis.
. Correspondence may also be mailed to:

Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either you
or LG must make a written demand for arbitration. The arbitration will be
administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and will be
conducted before a single arbitrator under the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration
Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (referred to
as the “AAA Rules”) and under the procedures set forth in this section. The
AAA Rules are available online at
written demand for arbitration, as well as a copy of this provision, to the AAA
in the manner described in the AAA Rules. You must also send a copy of your
written demand to LG at LG Electronics, USA, Inc.Attn: Legal DepartmentArbitration1000 Sylvan AvenueEnglewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. If there is a
conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this section, the
rules set forth in this section will govern. This arbitration provision is governed
by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s
award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for the arbitrator
to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the
arbitration provision and to the arbitrability of the dispute are for the court to
decide. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this provision.
Governing Law: The law of the state of your residence shall govern this
Limited Warranty and any disputes between us except to the extent that
such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal law.
Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon
receipt of your written demand for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all
arbitration filing fees to the AAA unless you seek more than $25,000 in
damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by the
AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all AAA filing,
administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance
with the AAA Rules and this arbitration provision. If you prevail in the
arbitration, LG will pay your reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses to the
extent required by applicable law. If the arbitrator finds either the substance
of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for
an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all arbitration fees will be
governed by the AAA Rules. In such a situation, you agree to reimburse LG for
all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay
under the AAA Rules.

Except as otherwise provided for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek

Hearings and Location. If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose
to have the arbitration conducted solely on the basis of (1) documents
submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic hearing, or (3) by an
in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds
$25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any inperson arbitration hearings will be held at a location within the federal judicial
district in which you reside unless we both agree to another location or we
agree to a telephonic arbitration.
Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt
out, neither you nor LG can require the other to participate in an arbitration
proceeding. To opt out, you must send notice to LG no later than 30 calendar
days from the date of the first consumer purchaser’s purchase of the product
by either: (i) sending an e-mail to
“Arbitration Opt Out” or (ii) calling 1-800-980-2973. You must include in
the opt out e-mail or provide by telephone: (a) your name and address; (b)
the date on which the product was purchased; (c) the product model name
or model number; and (d) the IMEI or MEID or Serial Number, as applicable
(the IMEI or MEID or Serial Number can be found (i) on the product box; (ii)
on a label on the back of the product beneath the battery, if the battery is
removable;or (iii) from the settings menu via the following path: SettingsGeneral
You may only opt out of the dispute resolution procedure in the manner
described above (that is, by e-mail or telephone); no other form of notice will
be effective to opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. Opting out of
this dispute resolution procedure will not affect the coverage of the Limited
Warranty in any way, and you will continue to enjoy the full benefits of the
Limited Warranty. If you keep this product and do not opt out, then you accept
all terms and conditions of the arbitration provision described above.

Fingerprint recognition
Fingerprint recognition overview
You can register your fingerprint on your device and use this
fingerprint to unlock the device screen or content.
When confirming a purchase or signing in to an app, identify yourself
by simply touching the fingerprint sensor.
• Everyone has a unique fingerprint. Fingerprints can be used to
identify different users. Very similar fingerprints from different
users may be recognized by the fingerprint sensor as the same
fingerprint.
• If your fingerprint is unrecognized and/or if you forget the backup
PIN, bring your device to the nearest LG Electronics service center
and both register a fingerprint and create a new backup PIN.
Precautions for fingerprint recognition
Fingerprint recognition accuracy may decrease. To maximize
recognition accuracy, check the following before using the device.
• The device’s Power/Lock key has a fingerprint sensor. Ensure that
the Power/Lock key is not damaged by a metallic object, such as
coin or key.
• When water, dust or other foreign substance are on the Power/
Lock key or your finger, the fingerprint registration or recognition
may not work. Clean and dry your finger before having the
fingerprint recognized.
• A fingerprint may not be recognized properly if the surface of your
finger has a scar or is not smooth due to being soaked in water.
• If you bend your finger or use the fingertip only, your fingerprint
may not be recognized. Make sure that your finger covers the
entire surface of the Power/Lock key.
Custom-designed Features27
Page 28
• Scan only one finger for each registration. Scanning more than one
finger may affect fingerprint registration and recognition.
• The device may generate static eletricity if the surrounding air
is dry. If the surrounding air is dry, avoid scanning fingerprints,
or touch a metallic object such as a coin or key before scanning
fingerprints to remove static electrictiy.
