Please read these simple guidelines.
Not following these guidelines may be
dangerous or illegal.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL
GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter
and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the
limits for exposure to radio frequency
(RF) recommended by international
guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. The guidelines were
developed by independent scientific
organisations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies.
The guidelines include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile devices
employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit stated in the international
guidelines is 2.0 W/kg*. Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating
positions with the device transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR of the device while
operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the device is designed
to operate at multiple power levels so as to
use only the power required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a
base station, the lower the power output
of the device. Before a phone model is
available for sale to the public, compliance
with the European R&TTE directive must
be shown. This directive includes as one
essential requirement the protection of the
health and the safety for the user and any
other person.
The highest SAR value for this device when
tested for use at the ear is 0.874 W/kg.
This device meets RF exposure guidelines
when used either in the normal use position
against the ear or when positioned at
least 1.5 cm away from the body. When a
carry case, belt clip or holder is used for
body-worn operation, it should not contain
metal and should position the product
at least 1.5 cm away from your body. In
order to transmit data files or messages,
this device requires a quality connection to
the network. In some cases, transmission
Guidelines for safe and ecient use
of data files or messages may be delayed
until such a connection is available. Ensure
the above separation distance instructions
are followed until the transmission is
completed. The highest SAR value for this
device when tested for use at the body is
1.36 W/kg.
* The SAR limit for mobile devices used
by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg)
averaged over ten grams of body tissue. The
guidelines incorporate a substantial margin
of safety to give additional protection
for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements. SAR values
may vary depending on national reporting
requirements and the network band.
For SAR information in other regions please
look under product information at www.
lgmobile.com.
FCC SAR information
Your mobile device is also designed to
meet the requirements for exposure to
radio waves established by the Federal
Communications Commission (USA) and
Industry Canada. These requirements set a
SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram
of tissue. The highest SAR value reported
under this standard during product
certication for use at the ear is 0.506W/kg

Your mobile device is also designed to

SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram
of tissue. The highest SAR value reported
under this standard during product
certication for use at the ear is 0.506W/kg
and when properly worn on the body is
0.225 W/kg.
Additionally, this device was tested for
typical body-worn operations with the
back of the phone kept 0.79 inches (2cm)
between the users body and the back of
the phone.
To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation
distance of 0.79 inches(2cm) must be
maintained between the user’s body and
the back of the phone.
FCC Notice & Caution
Notice!
This device complies with part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
Caution!
Change or Modications that are not
expressly approved by the manufacturer
could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
