Guidelines for safe and efﬁ 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 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.

Guidelines for safe and efﬁ cient use

• 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). which is 100% compliant with Indian Standards and Safe

• 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.

Guidelines for safe and efﬁ cient use

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

• Do not use your mobile phone near

medical equipment without

Guidelines for safe and efﬁ cient use

requesting permission. Avoid placing the phone over pacemakers, for example, in your breast pocket.

• Some hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile phones.

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

Precautions

• Use a wireless hands-free system (headphone, headset) with a low power Bluetooth emitter.

• Keep your calls short or send text message (SMS) instead. This advice applies especially to children, adolescents and pregnant women.

• Use the cell phone in good quality network signal.

• People having active medical implants should preferably keep the cell phone at least 15cms away from the implant

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.

Guidelines for safe and efﬁ cient use

• 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.

Guidelines for safe and efﬁ cient use

• 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.

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.
