GUIDELINES FOR SAFE AND EFFICIENT USE
Please read these simple guidelines. Not following
GUIDELINES FOR SAFE AND EFFICIENT USE
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 KG190 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.
• 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.
8
• 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 Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) is 2W/kg averaged over ten (10) gram of
tissue.
• The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by
DASY4 for use at the ear is
• 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 one (1) gram of tissue (for example
USA, Canada, Australia and Taiwan).
0.129 W/kg (10g).

GUIDELINES FOR SAFE AND EFFICIENT USE
Efficient phone operation
GUIDELINES FOR SAFE AND EFFICIENT USE
To enjoy optimum performance with minimum power
consumption please:
• Do not hold the antenna when the phone is in use. If
you hold it, it can affect call quality, it may also cause
the phone to operate at a higher power level than
needed and shorten talk and standby times.
Electronic 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 (i.e. in your
breast pocket.)
• Some hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile
phones.
• Minor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs, etc.
10
Road safety
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile
phones in the areas 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 motor vehicle such as a car stereo or safety
equipment.
• If your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do
not obstruct it with installed or portable wireless
equipment. It can 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 attempting to cross the street.
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.
