Guidelines for safe and efficient use
8
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 KG245 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
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 0.122 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).
Before a phone model is available for sale to the
public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that
it does not exceed the limit established by the
government-adopted requirement for safe exposure.
The tests are performed in positions and locations
(e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by
the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this
model phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.122
W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this
user’s manual, is 0.004 W/kg. (Body-worn
measurements differ amongphone models, depending
upon available accessories and FCC requirements.)
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
9
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
While there may be differences between SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet
the government requirement for safe exposure.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn
operations with the back of the phone kept 0.6 inches
(1.5cm) back of the phone. between the user’s body
and the back of the phone.
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a
minimum separation distance of 0.6 inches(1.5cm) s
body and the back must be maintained between the
user s body and the back of the phone. Third-party
belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing
metallic components should not be used. Body-worn
accessories that cannot maintain be used. Body-worn
maintain 0.6 inches(1.5cm) separation distance
between the user s body and the back of the phone,
and have not been tested for typical body-worn
operations may not comply with FCC RF exposure
limits and should be avoided.
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

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.

long time to maximize usability.
]
Do not expose the battery charger to direct sunlight
or use it in high humidity, such as the bathroom.
]
Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, this
may deteriorate the battery performance.
Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless telephone gives you the powerful
ability to communicate by voice - almost
anywhere, anytime. But an important
responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless
phones, one that every user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first
responsibility. When using your wireless phone
behind the wheel of a car, practice good common
sense and remember the following tips:
]
Use a hands free device. If possible, add an
additional layer of convenience and safety to your
wireless phone with one of the many hands free
accessories available today.
]
Let the person you are speaking with know you are
driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic
or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow,
ice and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
13
]
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while
driving. Jotting down a “to do” list or flipping
through your address book takes attention away
from your primary responsibility, driving safely.
]
If possible, place calls when you are not moving or
before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when you
will not be driving.
]
Do not engage in stressful or emotional
conversations that may be distracting. Make people
you are talking with aware you are driving and
suspend conversations that have the potential to
divert your attention from the road.
]
Use your wireless phone to call emergency services
for yourself or others. Dial 0-0-0 local emergency
number in the case of fire, traffic accident or medical
emergencies. Remember, it is a free call on your
wireless phone!
]
Use your wireless phone to help others in
emergencies, if you see an auto accident crime in
progress or other serious emergency where lives are
in danger, call 0-0-0 to call emergency number, as
you would want others to do for you.
]
Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency
wireless assistance number when necessary. If you
see a broken down vehicle posing no serious hazard,
a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where
no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be
stolen, call roadside assistance or other special nonemergency wireless number.

Access Codes
You can use the access codes described in this section
to avoid unauthorised use of your phone. The access
codes (except PUK and PUK2 codes) can be changed
by using the Change codes feature [Menu 7-5-5].
See page 68.
PIN code (4 to 8 digits)
The PIN (Personal Identification Number) code
protects your SIM card against unauthorised use. The
PIN code is usually supplied with the SIM card. When
the PIN code request is set to Enable, your phone
will request the PIN code every time the phone is
switched on. When the PIN code request is set to
Disable, your phone connects to the network directly
without the PIN code.
PIN2 code (4 to 8 digits)
The PIN2 code, supplied with some SIM cards, is
required to access functions such as Advice of Call
Charge and Fixed dial number. These functions are
only available if supported by your SIM card. Check
with your network for further information.
PUK code (4 to 8 digits)
The PUK (PIN Unblocking Key) code is required to
change a blocked PIN code. The PUK code may be
supplied with the SIM card. If not, contact your
network operator for the code. If you lose the code,
also contact your network operator.
PUK2 code (4 to 8 digits)
The PUK2 code, supplied with some SIM cards, is
required to change a blocked PIN2 code. If you lose
the code, also contact your network operator.
Security code (4 to 8 digits)
The security code protects the unauthorised use of
your phone. The default security code is set to ‘0000’
and the security code is required to delete all phone
entries and to activate the Reset settings menu. Also,
the security code is required to enable or disable the
phone lock function to prevent unauthorised use of
the phone. The security code default setting can be
modified from the Security menu.
