Guidelines for safe and e cient 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 KM900 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.

Guidelines

Tests for SAR are conducted using standardised methods with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used frequency bands.

LG KM900 | User Guide

• 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 10g of tissue.

• The highest SAR value for this

model phone tested by DASY4 for use at the ear is and when worn on the body is

0.646 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 1g of tissue.

0.602 W/kg (10g)

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.

• 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

is on soft furnishings.

• The phone should be charged in a

well ventilated area.

• Do not subject this unit to

excessive smoke or dust.

Guidelines

Guidelines for safe and e cient use

• 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,

moisture or humidity.

• Use the accessories like earphones

cautiously. Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.

• Do not use the phone or

accessories in places with high humidity such as pools, greenhouses, solariums or tropical environments; it may cause damage to the phone and invalidation of warranty.

Efficient phone operation

Guidelines

Electronic and medical devices

All mobile phones may get interference, which could affect performance.

LG KM900 | User Guide

• Do not use your mobile phone

near medical equipment without requesting permission. Please consult your doctor to determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the operation of your medical device.

• Some hearing aids might be

disturbed by mobile phones.

• Minor interference may affect TVs,

radios, PCs, etc.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15cm be maintained between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this use the phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.

Hospitals

Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.

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.

• 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 while

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.

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.
