Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the advanced and compact KG920 mobile phone, designed to operate with the latest digital mobile communication technology.

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 warranty for this equipment.

Use of phone cases with magnetic locks with slide type phones has caused problems such as loss of network signal and phones powering off.

Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal. Further detailed information is given in this manual.

CAUTION!

•

Switch off the phone in any area where required by special regulations. For example, do not use your phone in hospitals or it may affect sensitive medical equipment.

•

Emergency calls may not be available under all mobile networks. Therefore, you should never depend solely on your mobile phone for emergency calls.

•

Only use ORIGINAL accessories to avoid damage to your phone.

•

All radio transmitters carry risks of interference with electronics in close proximity. Minor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs, etc.

•

Batteries should be disposed of in accordance with relevant legislation.

•

Do not dismantle the phone or battery.

WARNING!

•

Mobile Phones must be switched off at all times in aircrafts.

•

Do not hold the phone in your hand while driving.

•

Do not use your phone near petrol stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or blasting operations.

•

For your safety, use ONLY specified ORIGINAL batteries and chargers.

•

•

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

For Your Safety

Exposure to radio frequency energy

Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information

The KG920 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 0.636 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

•

Do not disassemble this unit. Take it to a qualified service technician when repair work is required.

•

Keep away from electrical appliances such as a TV's, radios or personal computers.

•

The unit should be kept away from heat sources such as radiators or cookers.

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.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

•

Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will cause the battery to explode.

•

Do not drop.

•

Do not subject this unit to mechanical vibration or shock.

•

The coating of the phone may be damaged if covered with wrap or vinyl wrapper.

•

Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene, thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean your phone. There is a risk of this causing a fire.

•

Do not subject this unit to excessive smoke or dust.

•

Do not keep the phone next to credit cards or transport tickets; it can affect the information on the magnetic strips.

•

Do not tap the screen with a sharp object as it may damage the phone.

•

Do not expose the phone to liquid or moisture.

•

Use accessories, such as earphones and headsets, with caution. Ensure that cables are tucked away safely and do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.

•

Please remove the data cable before powering on the handset.

Efficient phone operation

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.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

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.

Indicates the SD card is inserted.

Indicates that you are using a security connection.

Indicates the battery level, divided in bars. The Battery indicator may fluctuate depending on the kind of phone usage. Using multimedia functions like MP3, camera, video, etc will increase battery consumption, so the battery charge expires sooner than when using common features of the phone. This difference in battery consumption may cause a fluctuation of 2 or 3 bars depending on the application used.

Note

The quality of the conversation may change depending on network coverage. When the signal strength is below 2 bars, you may experience muting, call drop and poor audio. Please refer to this signal as an indicator for your calls. When there are no bars, that means that there is no network coverage: in this case, you won’t be able to access the network for any service (call, messages and so on).
