Guidelines for safe and effi cient 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-C660 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.
6
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.
The highest SAR value for
•
this model phone tested by
DASY4 for use at the ear is
1.28 W/kg (10 g) and when
worn on the body is 1.12
W/kg(10 g).
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.
Do not disassemble this unit.
•
Take it to a qualified service
technician when repair work
is required.
Repairs under warranty, at
•
LG’s discretion, may include
replacement parts or boards
that are either new or
reconditioned, provided that
they have functionality equal
to that of the parts being
replaced.
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.
7
Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
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 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.
8
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.
Do not use your device for a
•
long period of time with any
part of your body in direct
contact with it. During normal
operation, the temperature
of the product may increase,
which may cause your skin to
be harmed or burnt.
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.
•
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.
When your vehicle is
•
equipped 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.
9
Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
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.
NOTE:
Excessive sound
pressure from earphones can
cause hearing loss.
Glass Parts
Some parts of your mobile
device are made of glass. This
glass could break if your mobile
device is dropped on a hard
surface or receives a substantial
impact. If the glass breaks, do
not touch or attempt to remove.
Stop using your mobile device
until the glass is replaced by an
authorised service provider.
10
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
as 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 ground
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. Use your mobile phone
to call emergency services for
yourself or others in the case of
fire, traffic accident or medical
emergencies;
- Australia Dial (0-0-0)
- New Zealand Dial (1-1-1)
- International Dial (1-1-2)
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.
11
Guidelines for safe and effi cient 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 of explosion if
•
the battery is replaced by an
incorrect type.
Dispose of 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.
12
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.
Driver Safety Tips
Your mobile telephone gives
you the powerful ability to
communicate almost anywhere,
at anytime. But an important
responsibility accompanies the
benefits of mobile phones, one
that every user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is
your first responsibility. When
using your mobile phone behind
the wheel of a car, practice good
common sense and remember
the following tips:
Use a hands free device to
•
add an additional layer of
convenience and safety to
your wireless phone with
one of the many hands free
accessories available today.
Let the person you are
•
speaking with know you are
driving; if necessary, suspend
the call in heavy traffic or
hazardous weather conditions.
Rain, sleet, snow, ice and
even heavy traffic can be
hazardous.
Do not take notes or look up
•
phone numbers while driving.
Typing up a “to do” list or flipping
through your address book takes
attention away from your primary
responsibility of driving safely.
Place calls when you are not
•
moving or before pulling into
traffic. Try to plan calls when you
will not be driving.
Do not engage in stressful or
•
emotional conversations that
may be distracting. Inform
people you are talking with that
you are driving and suspend
conversations that have the
potential to divert your attention
from the road.
Use your mobile phone to call
•
emergency services for yourself
or others in the case of fire,
traffic accident or medical
emergencies;
- Australia Dial (0-0-0)
- New Zealand Dial (1-1-1)
- International Dial (1-1-2)
- other local emergency number.
13
Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
Remember, it is a free call when
dialling emergency services
from your mobile phone in New
Zealand.
Use your mobile phone to
•
help others in emergencies.
If you see an auto accident,
crime in progress or other
serious emergency where
lives are in danger, call the
emergency number, as you
would want others to do for
you.
If you see a broken down
•
vehicle posing no serious
hazard, a broken traffic signal,
a minor traffic accident where
no one appears injured, or a
vehicle you know to be stolen,
call roadside assistance,
local traffic authority or police
station.
