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-E615, 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 0.752 W/kg (10 g) and when worn on
the body is 0.531 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.
7
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.
