Battery care
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.
• The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds
of times but it will eventually wear out. When the
operating time (talk-time and standby time) is
noticeably shorter than normal, you should buy a new
battery at the time.
• Unplug the charger when not in use, and don’t leave
the battery connected to a charger for longer than a
week, since overcharging may shorten its lifetime.
• Overcharging may shorten its lifetime, and if left
unused a fully charged battery may discharge itself
over time.
• Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your
battery to charge.
• Do not use any charger or battery that is damaged in
any way.
• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
General information
• Extreme temperatures will affect the charging
capacity of your battery.
• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, such as
in a car in summer or winter condition.
• Do not short-circuit the battery. Short-circuiting the
terminals may damage the battery or the connecting
object.
• Dispose of batteries according to local regulations.
Always recycle. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.

General information
Access codes
General information
PIN code
The PIN (Personal Identification Number) code protects
your SIM card against unauthorized. Your SIM card
usually supplies the PIN code.
! Note
You may need to obtain the password from your service
provider.
! Note
If you key in an incorrect PIN code three times in
succession, you may need to key in PUK code.
PIN2 code
The PIN2 code may be supplied with the SIM card.
Some functions will require PIN2 support, such Set
tariff.
! Note
Your may need to obtain the password from your service
provider.
6
PUK
The PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) code is required to
change a blocked PIN code. The PUK code is required
to change a blocked PIN2 code.
! Note
You may need to obtain the password from your service
provider.
! Note
If you key in an incorrect PIN2 code three times in
succession, you may need to key in PUK2 code.
! Note
If you key in an incorrect PUK code ten times in succession,
the SIM card cannot be used anymore. Contact your service
provider for a new card.
Phone code
Phone code protects the phone against unauthorized
use. It is not on when you buy the phone. You can
change the phone code (0000) to any four to eight-digit
personal codes.
Care and Maintenance
Read this information before using your mobile phone.
Your mobile phone is a highly sophisticated electronic
device. When using your phone, battery, charger or any
accessory, please read this first.
Product care
• Keep your mobile phone and all its parts out of young
children’s reach.
• Keep your mobile phone dry.
• Avoid exposing your mobile phone to extreme hot or
cold temperatures.
• Avoid placing your mobile phone close to lit
cigarettes, naked flames or any heat source.
• Do not attempt to disassemble it. Non-expert handling
of the device may damage it.
• Do not drop, knock or shake it. Rough handling can
break internal circuit boards.
• Do not paint your mobile phone as the paint could
obstruct the earphone, microphone or any moveable
parts and prevent normal use.
• Treat your mobile phone with care, keep it in a clean
and dust free place.
• Do not use the phone if the antenna is damaged. If a
damaged antenna contacts skin, it may cause a light
burn. Please contact an LG Authorized Service Center
to replace the damaged antenna.
• Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the
phone is switched on. Contact with the antenna
affects call quality and may cause the phone to
operate at a higher power level that needed and
shorten talk and standby times.
• Hold the phone as you speak to any other telephone.
While speaking directly into the microphone, angle
the antenna in a direction up and over your shoulder.
If the antenna is extendable/retractable, it should be
extended during the call
Important safety information
Radio frequency energy
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.
When the phone is turned on, it receives and transmits
radio frequency (RF) energy. Depending on the type
of mobile phone you posses, it operates on different
frequency ranges and employs commonly used
modulation techniques. The system that handles your
call when you are using your phone controls the power
level at which your phone transmits.
| General information
7
General information
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information.
General information
Your phone has been designed to comply with
applicable safety requirement for exposure to radio
waves. This requirement is based on scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation
of scientific studies. These guidelines include safety
margins designed to assure this 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
standardized method with the phone transmitting at
this 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), which is 2W/kg averaged over then (10)
gram of tissue.
8
• This highest SAR value for this model phone tested by
SGS for use at the ear is 0.926 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 one (1) gram of tissue.
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF
energy. However, certain electronic equipment may not
be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless
phone, therefore:
• Don not use your mobile phone near medical
equipment without requesting permission.
Pacemaker
Mobile phones may affect the operation of some
implanted cardiac pacemakers and other medically
implanted equipment. Pacemaker manufacturers
recommend that a minimum separation of 20 cm
(6 inches) be maintained between a hand-held wireless
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• Should always keep the phone more than 20 cm
(6 inches) from their pacemaker when the phone is
switched on;
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to
minimize the potential for interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, switch off your phone immediately.
Hearing aids
Some hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile
phones. In the event of such disturbance, you may want
to consult your service provider, or call the customer
services line to discuss alternatives.
Aircraft
• Turn off your mobile phone before boarding any
aircraft.
• Do not use it on the ground without crew permission
To prevent interference with communication systems,
you must not use your mobile phone while the plane is
in the air.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Switch off your phone when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and
instructions. It is rare, but your phone or its accessories
could generate sparks.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a
potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not
always, clearly marked.
They include fuelling areas, such as petrol station,
below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities, and areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal
powders.; and any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile
phones in the areas where you drive. If you are going to
use your phone while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving
• Use handsfree. Law in many countries requires
vehicle handsfree.
| General information
9
General information
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering
General information
a call if driving conditions so require.
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor
vehicles such as car stereo, safety equipment etc. in
addition, some vehicle manufacturers do not allow use
of mobile phones, unless the installation is supported
by a handsfree kit with an external antenna in their
vehicles. Check with your vehicle manufacturer’s
representative to be sure that your mobile phone will
not affect the electronic systems in your vehicle.
