Guidelines for safe and ecient use

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

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 scientic organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientic studies. The guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

6

LG-E900 | User Guide

The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specic 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 certied power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certied 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 0.935 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 les or messages, this device requires a quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data les 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 1.47 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.

For SAR information in other regions please look under product information at www. lgmobile.com.

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 certi cation for use at the ear is 0.59 W/kg and when properly worn on the body is 0.63W/kg.

Additionally, this device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 0.79 inches (2cm) between the users body and the back of the phone.

7

To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.79 inches(2cm) 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 Modi cations that are not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

All mobile phones may get interference, which could aect performance.

Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without requesting permission. Please consult

9

your doctor to determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the operation of your medical device.

Some hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile phones.

Minor interference may aect TVs, radios, PCs, etc.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15cm be maintained between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this use the phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.

Hospitals

Switch o your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.

Road safety

Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones in the area when 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

• If you are listening to music while

out and about, please ensure that the volume is at a reasonable level so that you are aware of your surroundings. This is particularly imperative when 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 on or o the handset close to your ear. We also recommend that music and call volumes are set to a reasonable level.

Excessive sound and pressure from earphones can causing 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 or attempt to remove. Stop using your mobile device until the glass is replaced by an authorised service provider.

Universal gestures on your touch screen

For most applications, natural gestures can be used to move about and give commands. To type text, use the onscreen or the hardware keyboard.

The following gestures are used to move around for your Windows Phone 7:

Tap

A tap is a single, quick downward touch on the screen. Tap is used to execute commands (like pressing Enter on a PC). Tapping also stops any movement on the screen.

Double tap

A double tap is two quick downward touches on the screen in the same place. The double tap commands the phone to zoom in or out, as appropriate.
