Guidelines for safe and ecient use
Please read these simple guidelines. Not following
these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specic Absorption Rate
(SAR) information.
This mobile phone model LG-A270 has been
designed to comply with applicable safety
requirements for exposure to radio waves. These
requirements are based on scientic 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 Specic
Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are
24
conducted using standardised methods with the
phone transmitting at its highest certied power
level in all used frequency bands.
• While there may be dierences 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 10 g
of tissue.
• The highest SAR value for this model phone
tested by DASY4 for use at the ear is 1.490 W/Kg
(10g).
25
• 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 les or messages,
this device requires a quality connection to the
network. In some cases, transmission of data
les or messages may be delayed until such
a connection is available. Ensure the above
separation distance instructions are followed
until the transmission is completed.
