Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Please read these simple guidelines.
Not following these guidelines may be
dangerous or illegal. Further detailed
information is given in this manual.
Exposure to radio frequency
energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) information
This mobile phone model KE590 has
been designed to comply with applicable
safety requirements for exposure to
radio waves. This requirement is based
on scientific guidelines that include
safety margins designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age
and health.
v
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.
v
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.
v
The SAR limit recommended by the
International Commission on NonIonizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)
is 2W/kg averaged over ten (10) gram
of tissue.
v
The highest SAR value for this model
phone tested by DASY4 for use at
the ear is 0.466 W/kg (10g) and when
worn on the body is 0.648 W/kg (10g).
Product care and
maintenance
Warning!
Only use batteries, chargers and
accessories approved for use with this
particular phone model. The use of any
other types may invalidate any approval
or warranty applying to the phone, and
may be dangerous.
