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.

vThe 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.

vWhile 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.

vThe SAR limit recommended by the International Commission on NonIonizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) is 2W/kg averaged over ten (10) gram of tissue.

vThe 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.
