manual.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) information
This mobile phone model L1100 has been designed to comply with
applicable safety requirement for exposure to radio waves. This
requirement is based on scientific guidelines that include safety
margins designed to assure this 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 standardized method 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), which is 2W/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 0.691 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 one (1) gram of tissue.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Efficient phone operation
To enjoy optimum performance with minimum power consumption
please:
• Hold the phone as you speak to any other telephone. While
speaking directly into the microphone, angle the antenna in a
direction up and over your shoulder. If the antenna is extendable/
retractable, it should be extended during a call.
• Do not hold the antenna when the phone is in use. If you hold it, it
can affect call quality, it also may cause the phone to operate as
a higher power level that needed and shorten talk and standby
times.
• If your mobile phone supports infrared, never direct the infrared
ray at anyone’s eye.
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 the
pacemaker, i.e. in your breast pocket.
• Some hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile phones.
• Minor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs, etc.
5
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 car stereo, safety equipment.
• When your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do not obstruct
with installed or portable wireless equipment. It can cause
serious injury due to improper performance.
Blasting area
Do not use the phone where blasting is in progress. Observe
restrictions, and follow any regulations or rules.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
• Do not use the phone at a refueling point. Don’t use near fuel or
chemicals.
• Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in
the compartment of your vehicle, which contains your mobile
phone and accessories.

6
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Children
Keep the phone in a safe place out of children’s reach. It includes
small parts which if detached may cause a choking hazard.
Emergency calls
Emergency calls may not be available under all cellular networks.
Therefore, you should never depend solely on the phone for
emergency calls. Check with your local service provider.
Battery information and care
• You do not need to completely discharge the battery before
recharging. Unlike other battery systems, there is no memory
effect that could compromise the battery’s performance.
• Use only LG batteries and chargers. LG chargers are designed to
maximize the battery life.
• Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery pack.
• Keep the metal contacts of the battery pack clean.
• Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable

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:
1. When available, 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.
2. 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.
3.
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 safety.
4. If possible, place calls when you are not moving or before
pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be.
5. 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.
6. Use your wireless phone to call for you. Or other Dial 0-0-0
or 1-1-2 local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic
accident or medical emergencies. Remember, it is a free call
on your wireless phone!
For Your Safety
8
7. 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 0-0-0 or 1-1-2 to call
emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.
8. Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency 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
non-emergency wireless number.
