Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Please read these simple guidelines.
Not following these guidelines may
be dangerous or illegal.
Exposure to radio
frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) information
This mobile phone model LG-C375
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.
4
The SAR limit recommended by
•
the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) is 2 W/Kg averaged over
10g of tissue.
The highest SAR value for this
•
model phone tested by DASY4 for
use at the ear is 1.25 W/Kg (10g)
and when worn on the body is
1.28 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 1g of tissue.
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.
5
Do not disassemble this unit. Take
•
it to a qualified service technician
when repair work is required.
Keep away from electrical
•
appliances such as TVs, radios,
and personal computers.
The unit should be kept away
•
from heat sources such as
radiators or cookers.
Do not drop.
•
Do not subject this unit to
•
mechanical vibration or shock.
Switch off the phone in any area
•
where you are required by special
regulations. For example, do not
use your phone in hospitals as
it may affect sensitive medical
equipment.
Do not handle the phone with wet
•
hands while it is being charged.
It may cause an electric shock
and can seriously damage your
phone.
Do not to charge a handset
•
near flammable material as the
handset can become hot and
create a fire hazard.
Use a dry cloth to clean the
•
exterior of the unit (do not use
solvents such as benzene, thinner
or alcohol).
Do not charge the phone when it
•
is on soft furnishings.
The phone should be charged in
•
a well ventilated area.
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 the accessories like
•
earphones cautiously. Do not
touch the antenna unnecessarily.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
When your vehicle is equipped
Efficient phone operation
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
pacemakers, for example, 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
area 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 vehicle
such as car stereos and safety
equipment.
6
•
with an air bag, do not obstruct
with installed or portable wireless
equipment. It can cause the air
bag to fail or 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
near roads.
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.

Potentially explosive
atmospheres
Do not use the phone at a
•
refueling point.
Do not use near fuel or
•
chemicals.
Do not transport or store
•
flammable gas, liquid, or
explosives in the same
compartment of your vehicle
with your mobile phone and
accessories.
In aircraft
Wireless devices can cause
interference in aircraft.
Turn your mobile phone off before
•
boarding any aircraft.
Do not use it on the aircraft
•
without permission from the crew.
Children
Keep the phone in a safe place
out of the reach of small children.
It includes small parts which may
cause a choking hazard if detached.
Emergency calls
Emergency calls may not be
available under all mobile 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 maximise 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
performance. The battery pack
maybe recharged hundreds of
times until it needs replacing.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Recharge the battery if it has
•
not been used for a long time to
maximise usability.
Do not expose the battery charger
•
to direct sunlight or use it in
high humidity, such as in the
bathroom.
Do not leave the battery in hot or
•
cold places, this may deteriorate
the battery performance.
There is risk
•
•
•
•
•
8
of explosion if the
battery is replaced by an incorrect
type.
Dispose off used batteries
according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Please recycle when
possible. Do not dispose as
household waste.
If you need to replace the battery,
take it to the nearest authorised
LG Electronics service point or
dealer for assistance.
Always unplug the charger from
the wall socket after the phone is
fully charged to save unnecessary
power consumption of the
charger.
Actual battery life will depend on
network configuration, product
settings, usage patterns, battery
and environmental conditions.
