boarding an aircraft.
Turn off the device or wireless device when in any area
in which they occur explosions or areas where there
are reports that indicate to "turn off two-way radio" or
"electronic devices" to avoid interfering with the operation
of trigger explosions.
Among the areas with potentially explosive atmospheres
include fueling areas are, the holds of ships, facilities for
the transportation or storage of fuel and chemicals, areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain,
dust or metal powders.
This device may produce a bright or flashing light.
Do not expose your device or its accessories to open
flames.
Do not expose your device or its accessories to magnetic
media (floppy disks, credit cards, etc).
Do not expose your device or its accessories to extreme
temperatures.
Do not expose your device or its accessories to liquid or
moisture.
6
Symbol Description
Not groped to disassemble the device or its accessories,
only authorized personnel can do it.
This device, like any wireless device, operates using radio
signals which, by their nature, are not able to guarantee
connection in all conditions. Therefore, for emergency
communications, never rely solely upon any wireless device.
Only use approved accessories.
Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may
be dangerous or illegal.
Should a fault occur, a software tool is built into your device that will
gather a fault log. This tool gathers only data specific to the fault, such as
signal strength, cell ID position in sudden call drop and applications loaded.
The log is used only to help determine the cause of the fault. These logs
are encrypted and can only be accessed by an authorised LG Repair centre
should you need to return your device for repair.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information.
This mobile phone model LG-K120E has been designed to comply with
applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. These
requirements are based on scientific guidelines that include safety
margins designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age
and health.
•
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are
conducted using standardised methods with the phone transmitting
at its highest certified power level in all used frequency bands.
•
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various LG
phone models, they are all designed to meet the relevant guidelines
for exposure to radio waves.
7
•
The SAR limit recommended by the International Commission on NonIonizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) is 2 W/kg averaged over 10g
of tissue.
•
This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the
normal use position against the ear or when positioned at least 5 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 5 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.
•
The highest simultaneous SAR values are:
* Head: 1.034 W/kg
* Body: 1.416 W/Kg
FCC SAR information
Your mobile device is also designed to meet the requirements for
exposure to radio waves established by the Federal Communications
Commission (USA).
These requirements set a SAR limit of 1.6W/kg averaged over 1gram of
tissue.
•
The highest simultaneous SAR values are:
* Head: 1.44 W/kg
* Body-worn/Hotspot: 1.28 W/kg
Additionally, this device was tested for typical body-worn operations with
the back of the phone kept 1cm (0.39inches) between the users body
and the back of the phone.
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation
distance of 1cm (0.39inches) must be maintained between the user’s
body and the back of the phone.
Any beltclips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic
components may not be used. Body-worn accessories that cannot
8
maintain 0.39 inches (1cm) separation distance between the user's body
and the back of the phone, and have not been tested for typical bodyworn operations may not comply with FCC/IC RF exposure limits and
should be avoided.
* FCC Notice & Caution
Notice!
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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.
Caution!
Changes or Modifications that are not specifically approved by the
manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Part15.105 statement
