Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

dangerous or illegal.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) information. This
mobile phone model LG-C299 has been
designed to comply with applicable safety
requirements for exposure to radio waves.
These requirements are 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 10g of tissue.
25
• The highest SAR value for this model
phone tested for use at the ear is
0.783
W/kg (10 g) and when worn on the
body is
0.880
W/kg (10 g).
• 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
26
or messages may be delayed until such
a connection is available. Ensure the
above separation distance instructions
are followed until the transmission is
completed.
