FCC Part 15.105 statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with

the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of

the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

Additional Information

1. Radio frequency exposure

This Bluetooth Stereo Headset HBS-850 is a radio

ENG

transmitter and receiver. When in operation it

communicates with a Bluetooth-equipped mobile device by receiving and transmitting radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (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 device.

2. Potentially explosive atmosphere

Power 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 fire

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 user-programmed 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 powered 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 first few times it is used. Do not expose the battery to

extreme temperatures, never above +60°C (+140°F) or below -10°C (14°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.

6. Conditions (Except Mexico and Argentina)

Additional Information

- If LG Electronics repairs or replaces the product, the repaired or replaced product shall be warranted for the remaining time of the original warranty period or for

ninety (90) days from the date of repair, whichever is

longer. Repair or replacement may involve the use of functionally equivalent reconditioned units. Replaced parts or components will become the property of LG Electronics.

- This warranty does not cover any failure of the product due to normal wear and tear, or due to misuse, including but not limited to use in other than the normal and customary manner, in accordance with instructions for use and maintenance of the product. Nor does this warranty cover any failure of the product due to accident,

modification or adjustment, acts of God or damage

resulting from liquid.
