Introduction
This user’s guide contains important information on
the use and operation of this phone. Please read all
the information carefully for optimal performance
and to prevent any damage to or misuse of the
phone. Any changes or modifications not expressly
approved in this user’s guide could void your

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 KG225 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.
]
While there may be differences between the SAR
levels of various LG phone models, they are all
6
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 0.917 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) is 1.6 W/kg averaged
over one (1) gram of tissue (for example USA,
Canada, Australia and Taiwan).
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.

Do not subject this unit to mechanical vibration or
shock.
]
The coating of the phone may be damaged if

the handset.
Efficient phone operation
To enjoy optimum performance with minimum
power consumption please:
