Guidelines for safe and e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 Specic Absorption Rate (SAR) information This mobile phone model LG-C900k has been designed to comply with applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. These requirements are based on scientic 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.

6

LG-C900k | User Guide

• 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 NonIonizing 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 0.913 W/kg (10g) and when worn on the body is 0.892 W/Kg(10g).

• The SAR limit recommended by the

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1g of tissue.

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 o the handset close to your ear. We also recommend that music and call volumes are set to a reasonable level.

Excessive sound and pressure from earphones can causing hearing loss.

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 centre.

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 maximize 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.

• Recharge the battery if it has

not been used for a long time to maximize usability.

• Do not expose the battery charger

to direct sunlight or use it in high humidity, such as in the bathroom.

10

LG-C900k | User Guide

• 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 authorized 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.

Driver Safety Tips

When driving a car, driving is your rst responsibility. When using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a

car, practice good common sense and remember the following tips:

• Use a hands free device. If possible, 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 trac or hazardous weather conditions.

B Use your wireless phone to call

emergency services for yourself or others. In the case of re, trac accident or medical emergencies;

• Australia: Dial 0-0-0,

• New Zealand: Dial 1-1-1,

• International: Dial 1-1-2,

• other local emergency number.

Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone for emergency services.

B Use your wireless phone to help

others in emergencies, if you see an accident in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call the emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.

• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Jotting down a “to do” list or ipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility, driving safely.

• If possible, place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into trac. Try to plan calls when you will not be driving.

• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that have the potential to divert your attention from the road.

A double tap is two quick downward touches on the screen in the same place. The double tap commands the phone to zoom in or out, as appropriate.

t

y

Touch and Hold

To touch and hold, the nger is pressed down and held there for a few seconds.

Pan

A pan is a single nger placed down and moved across the screen in any direction. The pan gesture ends when the nger is lifted from the screen. Either the content will follow (as with moving a map into the center of the screen) or it can be used for reordering items (for example changing location of tiles on the Start screen).

19

Flick

A ick is a single nger down moved rapidly in any direction and ends with the nger up. A ick can follow a pan gesture.

A ick gesture moves content from one area to another area. The controls or the application can be congured to support specic icking directional behavior. This can be horizontal, vertical, or another specied direction. If horizontal or vertical paths are specied, movements in other directions will be converted into vertical or horizontal movement.

20

LG-C900k | User Guide

Pinch and Stretch

Pinch and stretch are opposites of each other. These gestures are used often with maps when zooming in and out.

Pinching is achieved by moving two ngers downward on the screen and bringing them together. This zooms in on content, while centering the image to the center of the ngers. For stretching, the ngers are moved down and away to zoom out on an image.
