These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical devices.

5

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Symbol Description

Turn off your wireless device when prompted to do so by airport personnel or aircraft. For information on the use of wireless devices on board aircraft, contact the crew. If the device has a "flight mode", this must be activated before boarding an aircraft.

Turn off the device or wireless device when in any area in which they occur explosions or areas where there are reports that indicate to "turn off two-way radio" or "electronic devices" to avoid interfering with the operation of trigger explosions.

Among the areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling areas are, the holds of ships, facilities for the transportation or storage of fuel and chemicals, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders.

This device may produce a bright or flashing light

Do not expose your device or its accessories to open flames.

Do not expose your device or its accessories to magnetic media (floppy disks, credit cards, etc).

Do not expose your device or its accessories to extreme temperatures, ie below -5 and above +55 °C.

Do not expose your device or its accessories to liquid or moisture.

Not groped to disassemble the device or its accessories, only authorized personnel can do it.

6

Symbol Description

This device, like any wireless device, operates using radio signals which, by their nature, are not able to guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, for emergency communications, never rely solely upon any wireless device.

Only use approved accessories

Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal.

Should a fault occur, a software tool is built into your device that will gather a fault log. This tool gathers only data specific to the fault, such as signal strength, cell ID position in sudden call drop and applications loaded.

The log is used only to help determine the cause of the fault. These logs are encrypted and can only be accessed by an authorised LG Repair centre should you need to return your device for repair.

Exposure to radio frequency energy

THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) recommended by international guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population.

The guidelines were developed by independent scientific organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age or health.

7

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the international guidelines is 2.0 W/kg*. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR

of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a base station, the lower the power output of the device.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the European R&TTE directive must be shown. This directive includes as one essential requirement the protection of the health and the safety for the user and any other person.

The highest SAR value for this device when tested for use at the ear is 0.377 W/kg. This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position against the ear or when positioned at least 1.5 cm away from the body. When a

carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn operation, it should not contain metal and should position the product at least 1.5 cm away from your body. In order to transmit data files or messages, this device requires a quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure the above separation distance instructions are followed until the transmission is completed.

The highest SAR value for this device when tested for use at the body is 0.314 W/kg. * The SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0 watts/ kilogram (W/

kg) averaged over ten grams of body tissue. The guidelines incorporate a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.

SAR values may vary depending on national reporting requirements and the network band.

8

FCC SAR information

Your mobile device is also designed to meet the requirements for exposure to radio waves established by the Federal Communications Commission (USA) and Industry Canada.

These requirements set a SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of tissue. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certifi cation for use at the ear is 0.48 W/kg and when properly worn on the body is 1.37 W/kg.

Additionally, this device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 1cm (0.39 inches) between the users body and the back of the phone.

To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 1cm (0.39 inches) must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of the phone.

* FCC Notice & Caution

Notice!

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1)This device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2)this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Caution!

Change or Modifications that are not specifically approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

15

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

patterns, battery and environmental conditions.

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.

Driver Safety Tips

Your mobile telephone gives you the powerful ability to communicate almost anywhere, 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. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that have the potential to divert your attention from the road.

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.
