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 of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for
the general 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 1.6 W/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 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
government-adopted 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 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/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID ZNFH990.

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on
the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at
http://www.ctia.org/.

* 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.

• This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use

position against the ear or when positioned at least X mm away from the
body. When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn operation, it
should not contain metal and should position the product at least X mm away
from your body. In order to transmit data files or messages, this device requires
a quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data files
or messages may be delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure the
above separation distance instructions are followed until the transmission is
completed.

Product care and maintenance

• Always use genuine LG batteries, chargers and accessories approved for use

with this particular device model. The use of any other types may void any
approval or warranty applying to the device and may be dangerous.

• Some contents and illustrations may differ from your device without prior

notice.

• Do not disassemble this unit. Take it to a qualified service technician when

repair work is required.

• Repairs under warranty, at LG’s discretion, may include replacement parts

or boards that are either new or reconditioned, provided that they have
functionality equal to that of the parts being replaced.

• 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 to 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.

6Guidelines for safe and efficient use

• 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.

• Use accessories like earphones cautiously. Do not touch the antenna

unnecessarily.

• Do not use, touch or attempt to remove or fix broken, chipped or cracked glass.

Damage to the glass display due to abuse or misuse is not covered under the
warranty.

• Your phone is an electronic device that generates heat during normal

operation. Extremely prolonged, direct skin contact in the absence of adequate
ventilation may result in discomfort or minor burns. Therefore, use care when
handling your phone during or immediately after operation.

• If your phone gets wet, immediately unplug it to dry off completely. Do not

attempt to accelerate the drying process with an external heating source, such
as an oven, microwave or hair dryer.

• The liquid in your wet phone, changes the colour of the product label inside

your phone. Damage to your device as a result of exposure to liquid is not
covered under your warranty.

7Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Information about the RF exposure from FCC

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 96-502, 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
international and U.S. standards.
The design of this phone complies with FCC guidelines and these
international standards.

Body effects

This device was tested for typical use with the back of the phone
kept 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.39
inches (1.0 cm) must be maintained between the user’s body and
the back of the phone. Any belt-clips, holsters, and similar
accessories containing metallic components may not be used.
Avoid the use of accessories that cannot maintain 0.39 inches (1.0
cm) distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone
and have not been tested for compliance with FCC RF exposure
limits.

Fingerprint recognition

Fingerprint recognition overview

Register your fingerprint on your device first before using the fingerprint
recognition function.

You can use the fingerprint recognition function in the following cases:

• To unlock the screen

• To view the locked content in Gallery or QuickMemo+

When confirming a purchase or signing in to an app, identify yourself by
simply touching the fingerprint sensor.

• Your fingerprint never changes for your whole life, and everyone has a

unique fingerprint. Therefore, your fingerprint can be used by the device
for user identification. Very similar fingerprints from different users
may be recognised by the fingerprint sensor as the same fingerprint.
To enhance the device security, set the screen lock to a pattern, PIN or
password.

• If your fingerprint is unrecognised or if you forget the backup PIN,

bring your device to the nearest LG Customer Service Centre and both
register a fingerprint and create a new backup PIN.

Precautions for fingerprint recognition

Fingerprint recognition accuracy may decrease. To maximise 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
recognised.

Custom-designed Features 28

• A fingerprint may not be recognised 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 recognised. Make sure that your finger covers the entire
surface of the Power/Lock key.

• Scan only one finger for each registration. Scanning more than one

finger may affect fingerprint registration and recognition.

• The device may generate static electricity 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 electricity.
