Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal.

EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY

Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information

This mobile phone model KF900 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.

The SAR limit recommended by the

International Commission on NonIonizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) is 2W/kg averaged over 10g of tissue.

The highest SAR value for this model

phone tested by DASY4 for use at the ear is 0.208 W/kg (10g) and when worn on the body is 1.55 W/Kg(10g).

SAR data information for residents in

countries/regions that have adopted the SAR limit recommended by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), which is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1g of tissue.

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.

Do not disassemble this unit. Take it to a

qualified service technician when repair work is required.

Keep away from electrical appliances

such as TVs, radios, and personal computers.

The unit should be kept away from heat

sources such as radiators or cookers.

Do not drop.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Page 10

Do not handle the phone with wet hands

while it is being charged. It may cause an electric shock and can seriously damage your phone.

Do not to charge a handset near

flammable material as the handset can become hot and create a fire hazard.

Use a dry cloth to clean the exterior of

the unit (do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner or alcohol).

Do not charge the phone when it is on

soft furnishings.

The phone should be charged in a well

ventilated area.

Do not subject this unit to excessive

smoke or dust.

Do not keep the phone next to credit

EFFICIENT PHONE OPERATION

ELECTRONICS DEVICES

All mobile phones may get interference, which could affect performance.

Do not use your mobile phone near

medical equipment without requesting permission. Avoid placing the phone over pacemakers, for example, in your breast pocket.

Some hearing aids might be disturbed by

mobile phones.

Minor interference may affect TVs,

radios, PCs, etc.

ROAD SAFETY

Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones in the area when you drive.

Do not use a hand-held phone while

driving.

Give full attention to driving.

Use a hands-free kit, if available.

Pull off the road and park before making

or answering a call if driving conditions so require.

RF energy may affect some electronic

systems in your vehicle such as car stereos and safety equipment.

Page 11

When your vehicle is equipped with an

air bag, do not obstruct with installed or portable wireless equipment. It can cause the air bag to fail or cause serious injury due to improper performance.

If you are listening to music whilst out

and about, please ensure that the volume is at a reasonable level so that you are aware of your surroundings. This is particularly imperative when near roads.

AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR HEARING

Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed to loud sound for long periods of time. We therefore recommend that you do not turn on or off the handset close to your ear. We also recommend that music and call volumes are set to a reasonable level.

GLASS PARTS

Some parts of your mobile device are made of glass. This glass could break if your mobile device is dropped on a hard surface or receives a substantial impact. If the glass breaks, do not touch or attempt to remove. Stop using your mobile device until the glass is replaced by an authorized service provider.

BLASTING AREA

Do not use the phone where blasting is in progress. Observe restrictions, and follow any regulations or rules.

POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES

Do not use the phone at a refueling point.

Do not use near fuel or chemicals.

Do not transport or store flammable

gas, liquid, or explosives in the same compartment of your vehicle as your mobile phone and accessories.

IN AIRCRAFT

Wireless devices can cause interference in aircraft.

Turn your mobile phone off before

boarding any aircraft.

Do not use it on the ground without

permission from the crew.

CHILDREN

Keep the phone in a safe place out of the reach of small children. It includes small parts which may cause a choking hazard if detached.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

EMERGENCY CALLS

Emergency calls may not be available under all mobile networks. Therefore, you should never depend solely on the phone for emergency calls. Check with your local service provider.

BATTERY INFORMATION AND CARE

You do not need to completely discharge

the battery before recharging. Unlike other battery systems, there is no memory effect that could compromise the battery's performance.

Use only LG batteries and chargers. LG

chargers are designed to maximize the battery life.

Do not disassemble or short-circuit the

battery pack.

Keep the metal contacts of the battery

pack clean.

Replace the battery when it no longer

provides acceptable performance. The battery pack maybe recharged hundreds of times until it needs replacing.

Recharge the battery if it has not

been used for a long time to maximize usability.

Do not expose the battery charger to

direct sunlight or use it in high humidity, such as in the bathroom.

Do not leave the battery in hot or cold

places, this may deteriorate the battery performance.

There is risk of explosion if the battery is

replaced by an incorrect type.

Dispose of used batteries according to

the manufacturer's instructions. Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.

If you need to replace the battery, take it

to the nearest authorized LG Electronics service point or dealer for assistance.

Always unplug the charger from the wall

socket after the phone is fully charged to save unnecessary power consumption of the charger.
