Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Please read these simple guidelines.
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Not following these guidelines may be
dangerous or illegal. Further detailed
information is given in this manual.
Certification
information (SAR)
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 organizations
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.
8
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 0.929 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 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 1.46 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.

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.
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
13
] Use your wireless phone to call
emergency services for yourself or
others.
In the case of fire, traffic accident or
medical emergencies;
• Australia: Dial 0-0-0,
• New Zealand: Dial 1-1-1,
• International: Dial 1-1-2,
• other local emergency number.
Remember, it is a free call on your
wireless phone for emergency services.
] Use your wireless phone to help
others in emergencies, if you see an
auto accident crime in progress or
other serious emergency where lives
are in danger, call the emergency
number, as you would want others to
do for you.
