Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Please read these simple guidelines.

Guid el in es f or sa fe a nd e ff ic ie nt us e

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 KP215 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 2 W/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 0.484 W/Kg (10g). and when worn on the body is

0.694 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

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

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.

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.

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 (i.e. in your breast pocket.)

►

Some hearing aids might be

disturbed by mobile phones.

Minor interference may affect TVs,

radios, PCs, etc.

Road safety

Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones in the areas 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 motor vehicle such as a car stereo or safety equipment.

►

If your vehicle is equipped with

an air bag, do not 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.

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.

►

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.

Guid el in es f or sa fe a nd e ff ic ie nt us e

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

►

Use your wireless phone to call

Guid el in es f or sa fe a nd e ff ic ie nt us e

emergency services for yourself or others. Dial 0-0-0 local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies in Australia. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone! Dial 1-1-1 for local emergency number in New Zealand. Dial 1-1-2 for emergency call International.

►

Call roadside assistance or a special

nonemergency 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.
