Safety

TIA(Telecommunications Industry Association) Safety Information

The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless handheld phones.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal

Your wireless handheld portable phone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out Radio Frequency (RF) signals. In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:

• ANSI C95.1 (1992) *

• NCRP Report 86 (1986)

• ICNIRP (1996)

• Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 1999.

Those standards were based on comprehensive

and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120

scientists, engineers, and physicians from

universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1). The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines, IC Regulations (and those standards).

Safety

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.

Unauthorised antennas, modifications, or

attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC regulations.

Phone Operation

NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.

Tips on Efficient Operation

For your phone to operate most efficiently: Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when

the phone is in use.

Contact with the antenna affects call quality

and may cause the phone to operate at a

higher power level than otherwise needed.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless phones in the areas where you drive and always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please observe the following:

• Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is your first responsibility;

• Use hands-free operation.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association

recommends that a minimum separation of six

(6”) inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.

These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations

of Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with Pacemakers:

• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six

inches from their pacemaker when the phone

is turned ON;

• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;

• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to

minimize the potential for interference;

• Should turn the phone OFF immediately

if there is any reason to suspect that

interference is taking place.

Safety

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere

with some hearing aids. In the event of such

interference, you may want to consult your service provider (or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.) Optional for each

phone manufacturer.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able

to assist you in obtaining this information.

Health Care Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of

any equipment that has been added to your

vehicle.

Posted Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in any facility where

posted notices so require.

Aircraft

FCC and Transport Canada regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF

your phone before boarding an aircraft.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.

Potentially Explosive Atmosphere

Turn your phone OFF when in any area with

a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always marked clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling areas (such as gasoline stations); below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders); and any other area

Safety

where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag

An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

Charger and Adapter Safety

• The charger and adapter are intended for indoor use only.

• Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct sunlight or use it in places with high

humidity, such as a bathroom.

Battery Information and Care

• Please dispose of your battery properly or take it to your local wireless carrier for recycling.

• Do not dispose of your battery by fire or with hazardous or flammable materials.

• Never use an unapproved battery since this could damage the phone and/or battery and could cause the battery to explode.

• The battery does not need to be fully

discharged before recharging.

• Use only LG-approved chargers specific to your phone model since they are designed to maximize battery life.

• Do not disassemble or short-circuit the

battery.

• Keep the battery’s metal contacts clean.

• Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. The battery can be recharged several hundred times before replacement.

• Recharge the battery after long periods of non-use to maximize battery life.

• Battery life will vary due to usage patterns and environmental conditions.

• Use of extended backlighting, MiniBrowser, and data connectivity kits affect battery life and talk/standby times.

Safety Information

Please read and observe the following

information for safe and proper use of your

phone and to prevent damage. Also, keep the user’s guide in an accessible place at all the

times after reading it.

Safety

Explosion, Shock, and Fire Hazards

• Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning storms to avoid electric shock or fire.

• Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal’s teeth, nails, come into contact with

the battery. There is a risk of this causing a fire.

• 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 handle the phone with wet hands while it is being charged. It may cause an electric shock or seriously damage your

phone.

• Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. Such actions may harm the internal

circuit boards of the phone.

• Do not put your phone in a place subject

to excessive dust and keep the minimum required distance between the power cord and heat sources.

• Unplug the power cord prior to cleaning your phone, and clean the power plug pin when

it is dirty.

• Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting, pulling, or heating. Do not use the plug if it is loose as it may cause a fire or electric shock.
