2. Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will cause the battery to explode.

3. Never store your phone in temperatures less than

-4°F or greater than 122°F.

4. Do not dispose of your battery by fire or with hazardous or flammable materials.

5. When riding in a car, do not leave your phone or set up the hands-free kit near to the air bag. If wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag is deployed, you may be seriously injured.

6. Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.

7. Do not use the phone in areas where its use is prohibited. (For example: aircraft)

Important Safety Precautions

could cause a fire.

3. Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. It may harm the internal circuit boards of the phone.

4. Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as the phone may generate sparks.

5. Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting, pulling, or heating. Do not use the plug if it is loose as it may cause a fire or electric shock.

6. Do not place any heavy items on the power cord. Do not allow the power cord to be crimped as it may cause electric shock or fire.

7. Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is being charged. It may cause an electric shock or seriously damage your phone.

8. Do not disassemble the phone.

1. Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may short-circuit the phone and/or cause electric shock or fire.

2. Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your body during a call.

3. Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal’s teeth or nails, come into contact with the battery. This could cause a fire.

4. Store the battery out of reach of children.

5. Be careful that children do not swallow any parts (such as rubber plugs, earphone, connection parts of the phone, etc.) This could cause asphyxiation or suffocation resulting in serious injury or death.

6. Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning storms to avoid electric shock or fire.

7. Only use the batteries and chargers provided by LG. The warranty will not be applied to products provided by other suppliers.

8. Only authorized personnel should service the phone and its accessories. Faulty installation or service may result in accidents and consequently invalidate the warranty.

9. Your service provider programs one or more emergency phone numbers, such as 911, that you can call under any circumstances, even when your phone is locked. Your phone’s preprogrammed emergency number(s) may not work in all locations, and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed due to network, environmental, or interference issues.
