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-H850K 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-
IonizingRadiationProtection(ICNIRP)is2W/kgaveragedover10gof
tissue.
• The highest SAR value for this model phone tested for use at the ear is
0.737W/kg(10g)andwhenwornonthebodyis1.490W/Kg(10g).
5
• 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.
• 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.
6Guidelines for safe and efficient use
• 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).
• 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.
• Use accessories like earphones cautiously. 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.
• 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 color of the product label inside
your phone. Damage to your device as a result of exposure to liquid is not
covered under your warranty.
7Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Efficient phone operation
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.
• Useyourphoneintemperaturesbetween0ºCand35ºC,ifpossible.
Exposing your phone to extremely low or high temperatures may result in
damage, malfunction, or even explosion.
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.
8Guidelines for safe and efficient use
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.
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.
9Guidelines for safe and efficient use
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 a choking hazard if detached.
Emergency calls
Emergency calls may not be available on all mobile networks. Therefore you
should never depend solely on your phone for emergency calls. Check with
your local service provider for more information.
• Use your mobile phone to call emergency services for yourself or others in
the case of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies;
- Australia Dial (0-0-0)
- New Zealand Dial (1-1-1)
- International Dial (1-1-2)
- other local emergency number.
Remember, it is a free call when dialling emergency services from your
mobile phone in Australia.
10Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Battery information and care
• You do not need to completely discharge the battery before recharging.
Unlike other battery systems, there is no memory effect that could
compromise the battery's performance.
• Use only LG batteries and chargers. LG chargers are designed to maximise
the battery life.
• Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
• Keep the metal contacts of the battery clean.
• Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance.
The battery pack may 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 high
humidity, such as in the bathroom.
• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, as this may deteriorate
battery performance.
• There is risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type.
• Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose 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 save unnecessary power consumption of the charger.
• Actual battery life will depend on network configuration, product settings,
usage patterns, battery and environmental conditions.
• Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal's teeth or nails, come
into contact with the battery. This could cause a fire.
11Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Driver Safety Tips
Your mobile telephone gives you the powerful ability to communicate almost
anywhere, anytime, but an important responsibility accompanies the benefits
of mobile phones, one that every user must uphold. When driving a car, driving
is your first responsibility. When using your mobile phone behind the wheel of
a car, practice good common sense and remember the following tips:
• Use a hands free device to add an additional layer of convenience and
safety to your wireless phone with one of the many hands free accessories
available today.
• Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary,
suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain,
sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Typing up a “to
do” list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from
your primary responsibility of driving safely.
• Place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to
plan calls when you will not be driving.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be
distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and
suspend conversations that have the potential to divert your attention
from the road.
• Use your mobile phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto
accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in
danger, call the emergency number, as you would want others to do for
you.
• If you see a broken down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic
signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle
you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance, local traffic authority or
police station.
