Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information. This mobile phone model KM570 has been designed to comply with applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. These requirements are 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 2 W/kg averaged over 10 g of tissue.
The highest SAR value for this
model phone tested by DASY4 for use at the ear is 0.994 W/kg (10 g) and when worn on the body is
1.20 W/kg (10 g).
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 1 g of tissue.
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.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Do not disassemble this unit.
Take it to a qualified service technician when repair work is required. Repairs under warranty, at LG’s option, may include replacement parts or boards that are either new or reconditioned, provided that they have functionality equal to that of the parts being replaced.
Keep away from electrical
appliances such as TVs, radios, and personal computers.
The unit should be kept away from
heat sources such as radiators or cookers.
Do not drop.
Do not subject this unit to
mechanical vibration or shock.
Switch off the phone in any area where you are required by special regulations. For example, do not use your phone in hospitals as it may affect sensitive medical equipment.
Do not handle the phone with wet
hands while it is being charged. It may cause an electric shock and can seriously damage your phone.
Do not charge a handset near flammable material as the handset can become hot and create a fire hazard.
Use a dry cloth to clean the
exterior of the unit (do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner or alcohol).
Do not charge the phone when it

Efficient phone operation
Electronics 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, for example, in your breast pocket.
Some hearing aids might be
disturbed by mobile phones.
Minor interference may affect TVs,
radios, PCs, etc.
RF energy may affect some
electronic systems in your vehicle such as car stereos and safety equipment.
When your vehicle is equipped
with an air bag, do not obstruct with installed or portable wireless equipment. It can cause the air bag to fail or 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 near roads.
Road safety
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones in the area 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.
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.

not been used for a long time to maximize usability.
Do not expose the battery charger
to direct sunlight or use it in high humidity, such as in the bathroom.
Do not leave the battery in hot or
cold places, this may deteriorate the battery performance.
There is risk of explosion if the
battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
If you need to replace the battery,
take it to the nearest authorized LG Electronics service point or dealer for assistance.
Always unplug the charger from
the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to save unnecessary power consumption of the charger.
Actual battery life will depend on
network configuration, product settings, usage patterns, battery and environmental conditions.

Touch screen tips
Do not press too hard. The
touchscreen is sensitive enough to pick up a light, firm touch.
Use the tip of your finger to touch
the option you require. Be careful not to touch any other keys.
Whenever your phone is not in use, it will return to the lock screen.
When the screen light is off, press
the power key or slide up the touch screen to return the home screen.
Proximity sensor
When receiving and making calls, this sensor automatically turns the backlighting off and locks the touch keypad by sensing objects when the phone is near the ear.
This makes the battery life last longer and prevents the touch keypad from malfunctioning through automatic key locking during calls.
Users, therefore, do not have the inconvenience of unlocking the phone when searching the contacts during calls.
Control the touch screen
The controls on the KM570 touch screen change dynamically depending on the task you are carrying out.
