Guidelines for safe and efficient use

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

Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information. This mobile phone model LG-H840 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-Ionizing

RadiationProtection(ICNIRP)is2W/kgaveragedover10goftissue.

• The highest SAR value for this model phone tested for use at the ear is

0.981W/kg(10g)andwhenwornonthebodyis1.440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 5 mm 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 5 mm 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.

Product care and maintenance

• Always use genuine LG batteries, chargers and accessories approved for use

with this particular device model. The use of any other types may void any approval or warranty applying to the device and may be dangerous.

• Some contents and illustrations may differ from your device without prior

notice.

• Do not disassemble this unit. Take it to a qualified service technician when

repair work is required.

• Repairs under warranty, at LG’s discretion, may include replacement parts

or boards that are either new or reconditioned, provided that they have functionality equal to that of the parts being replaced.

• Keep 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 in any area where 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 being charged. It may cause

an electric shock and can seriously damage your phone.

• Do not charge a handset near flammable material as the handset can become

hot and create a fire hazard.

• Use a dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit (do not use solvents such as

benzene, thinner or alcohol).

6Guidelines for safe and efficient use

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

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

• Do not subject this unit to excessive 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 a sharp object as it may damage the phone.

• Do not expose the phone to liquid or moisture.

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.

• If your phone gets wet, immediately unplug it to dry off completely. Do not

attempt to accelerate the drying process with an external heating source, such as an oven, microwave or hair dryer.

• The liquid in your wet phone, changes the colour of the product label inside

your phone. Damage to your device as a result of exposure to liquid is not covered under your warranty.

Electronics devices

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

• Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without 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.

7Guidelines for safe and efficient use

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 with an air bag, do not obstruct 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 whilst out and about, please ensure that the

volume is at a reasonable level so that you are aware of your surroundings. This is of particular importance when near roads.

Avoid damage to your hearing

To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods.

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 off the handset 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.

• Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause

hearing loss.

8Guidelines for safe and efficient use

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

Blasting area

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

Potentially explosive atmospheres

• Do not use your phone at a refueling point.

• Do not use near fuel or chemicals.

• Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the same

compartment of your vehicle as your mobile phone or accessories.

• The device's Power/Lock key has a fingerprint sensor. Ensure that the

Power/Lock key is not damaged by a metallic object, such as coin or key.

• When water, dust or other foreign substance are on the Power/Lock

key or your finger, the fingerprint registration or recognition may not work. Clean and dry your finger before having the fingerprint recognised.

• A fingerprint may not be recognised properly if the surface of your

finger has a scar or is not smooth due to being soaked in water.

• If you bend your finger or use the fingertip only, your fingerprint

may not be recognised. Make sure that your finger covers the entire surface of the Power/Lock key.

• Scan only one finger for each registration. Scanning more than one

finger may affect fingerprint registration and recognition.

• The device may generate static electricity if the surrounding air is dry.

If the surrounding air is dry, avoid scanning fingerprints, or touch a metallic object such as a coin or key before scanning fingerprints to remove static electricity.
