Additional Information
1. Radio frequency exposure
This Bluetooth Stereo Headset HBS-900 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 device.

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

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 mufed 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 increasing the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
• Decrease the volume 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.
