Guidelines for safe and efficient 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 device, model LG-E612, 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 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-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) is 2 W/kg averaged over 10 g of tissue.

•The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by DASY4 for use at the ear is 0.904 W/kg (10 g) and when worn on the body is 0.639 W/Kg (10 g).

•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. To transmit data files or messages, this device requires a high-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 transmission is complete.

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 repairs are required.

•Repairs under warranty, at LG's discretion, may include replacement parts or boards that are either new or reconditioned, provided they have the same functionality as the parts being replaced.

•Keep the unit 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 anywhere you are required to 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 charging. This may cause an electric shock and could seriously damage your phone.

•Do not charge a handset near flammable material, as the handset may get hot and create a fire hazard.

•Use a dry cloth to clean the outside of the unit (do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner or alcohol).

•Do not charge the phone when it is lying on soft furnishings.

•The phone should be charged in a well ventilated area.

•Do not subject this unit to excess 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 any sharp object, as this may damage the phone.

•Do not expose the phone to liquid or moisture.

•Use accessories such as earphones carefully. Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.

•Do not use, touch or attempt to remove or fix broken, chipped or cracked glass. Damage to the glass display due to abuse or misuse is not covered under the warranty.

•Your phone is an electronic device that generates heat during normal operation. Extremely prolonged, direct skin contact in the absence of adequate ventilation may result in discomfort or minor burns. Therefore, use care when handling your phone during or immediately after operation.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Efficient phone operation

Electronic devices

All mobile phones may receive interference, which could affect their performance.

•Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without asking permission. Avoid placing the phone over pacemakers, for example, in your breast pocket.

•Some hearing aids could be disturbed by mobile phones.

•Minor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs etc.

Road safety

Check the laws and regulations covering mobile phone use in the area where 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 it 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 while out and about, please ensure the volume is at a reasonable level so that you are aware of your surroundings. This is particularly important 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 the handset on or off close to your ear. We also recommend that music and call volumes are set to a reasonable level.

•When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are listening to.

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 it or attempt to remove it. Stop using your mobile device until the glass is replaced by an authorised service provider.

Blasting areas

Do not use the phone where blasting is in progress. Observe restrictions and follow any regulations or standards.

Potentially explosive atmospheres

•Do not use your phone at a refuelling point.

•Do not use it near fuel or chemicals.

•Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the same compartment in your vehicle as your mobile phone or 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 choking if detached and swallowed.

Emergency calls

Emergency calls may not be available on all mobile networks. Therefore you should never depend solely on your phone to make emergency calls. Check with your local service provider.

Battery information and care

•You do not need to completely discharge the battery before recharging it. Unlike other battery systems, there is no memory effect that could compromise the battery's performance.

•Only use LG batteries and chargers. LG chargers are designed to maximise battery life.

•Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.

•Keep the battery's metal contacts clean.

•Replace the battery when it no longer gives acceptable performance. The battery pack can be recharged hundreds of times before 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 areas with high humidity such as bathrooms.

•Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, as this may reduce battery performance.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

•There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with the wrong type.

•Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose of it as household waste.

•If you need to replace the battery, take it to the nearest authorised LG Electronics service point or dealer for assistance.

•Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to prevent the charger using power unnecessarily.

•Actual battery life will depend on network configuration, product settings, usage patterns and battery and environmental conditions.

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

Connecting to Wi-Fi networks

To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you need to access a wireless access point or ‘hotspot’. Some access points are open and you can simply connect to them. Others are hidden or use security features; you must configure your phone to be able to connect to them.

Turn off Wi-Fi when you're not using it to extend the life of your battery.

NOTE: If you are out of the Wi-Fi zone or have set Wi-Fi to OFF, additional charges may be applied by your mobile operator for mobile data use.

Sharing your phone's data connection

USB tethering and portable Wi-Fi hotspot are great features when there are no wireless connections available. You can share your phone's mobile data connection with a single computer via a USB cable (USB tethering). You can also share your phone's data connection with more than one device at a time by turning your phone into a portable Wi-Fi hotspot.

When your phone is sharing its data connection, an icon appears in the status bar and as an ongoing notification in the notifications drawer.

For the latest information about tethering and portable hotspots, including supported operating systems and other details, visit http://www.android.com/tether.

To change Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings:

•Touch > Apps tab > Settings >

More from the WIRELESS & NETWORKS tab > Portable Wi-Fi hotspot > Choose options that you want to adjust.

TIP! If your computer is running Windows 7 or a recent distribution of some flavours of Linux (such as Ubuntu), you don't usually need to prepare your computer for tethering. But if you're running an earlier version of Windows or another operating system, you may need to prepare your computer to establish a network connection via USB. For the most current information about which operating systems support USB tethering and how to configure them, visit http://www.android.com/tether.
