Guidelines for safe and efficient use
8
Please read these simple guidelines. 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 L343i 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 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 0.122 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 appliances such as a TV's,
radios or personal computers.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
9
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
]
The unit should be kept away from heat sources such
as radiators or cookers.
]
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.
]
Do not tap the screen with a sharp object as it may
damage the phone.
]
Do not expose the phone to liquid or moisture.
]
Use accessories, such as earphones and headsets,
with caution. Ensure that cables are tucked away
safely and do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.
]
Please remove the data cable before powering on
the handset.
Efficient phone 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.
Electronic 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.
Blasting area
Do not use the phone where blasting is in progress.
Observe restrictions, and follow any regulations or
rules.
