ENG

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that

may cause undesired operation.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

To comply with the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, no change to

Additional Information

1. Radio frequency exposure

This Bluetooth Stereo Headset HBS-760 is a radio transmitter and receiver. When
in operation it communicates with a Bluetooth equipped mobile device by receiving

and transmitting radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic elds (microwaves) in the
frequency range 2.4 to 2.4835 GHz. Your Bluetooth headset is designed to operate

in compliance with the RF exposure guidelines and limits set by national authorities
and international health agencies when used with any compatible LG Electronics
mobile phone.

Additional Information

2. Potentially explosive atmosphere

Turn off your electronic device when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Although this is uncommon, your electronic device could generate

sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or re resulting in bodily

injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but
not always, clearly marked.

3. Emergency calls

IMPORTANT!
This Bluetooth headset and the electronic device connected to the headset

operate using radio signals, mobile and landline networks as well as user­programmed functions, which cannot guarantee connection under all conditions.
Therefore you should never rely solely upon any electronic device for essential
communications (e.g. medical emergencies). Remember, in order to make or
receive calls, the headset and the electronic device connected to the headset
must be switched on and in a service area with adequate mobile signal strength.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all mobile phone networks or when
certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check with your local
service provider.

4. Battery information

A rechargeable battery has a long service life if treated properly. A new battery
or one that has not been used for a long period of time could have reduced

capacity the rst few times it is used. Do not expose the battery to extreme
temperatures, never above +60°C (+140°F) or below -20°C (-4°F). For maximum

battery capacity, use the battery at room temperature. If the battery is used in
low temperatures, the battery capacity will be reduced. The battery can only be

charged in temperatures between +10°C (+50°F) and +45°C (+113°F). For your

safety, do not remove the battery incorporated with the product. If you need to
replace the battery, take it to the nearest authorized LG Electronics service point
or dealer for assistance.

5. Recycling the battery in your Bluetooth headset

The battery in your Bluetooth headset must be disposed of properly and should
never be placed in municipal waste. The LG Electronics service partner who
removes the battery will dispose of it according to local regulations.

Important Safety Information

Avoiding hearing damage

Permanent hearing loss may occur if you use your headset at a high volume.
Set the volume to a safe level. Over time you can become accustomed to a
higher volume that may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing.

If you experience ringing in your ears or mufed speech, stop listening and have

your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before
your hearing could be affected.

Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:

• Limit the amount of time you use the headset at high volume.

• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.

• Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.

Using headsets safely

Use of headsets to listen to music while operating a vehicle is not recommended
and is illegal in some areas. Be careful and attentive while driving. Stop using

this device if you nd it disruptive or distracting while operating any type of

vehicle or performing any other activity that requires your full attention.
