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.
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
6
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 option, 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.
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.
7
Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
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.
8
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.
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.

Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
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.
10
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. Check with your local service provider.

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.
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.
