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 device 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 device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used frequency bands.

• While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various LG device

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 tested for use at the ear is 0.393 W/kg

(10g)andwhenwornonthebodyis1.120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.

Information about the RF exposure from FCC

In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both international and U.S. standards. The design of this device complies with FCC guidelines and these international standards.

Part 15.19 statement

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.

Part 15.21 Statement

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

6Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical bodyworn operations with the back of the device kept 0.39 inches (1cm) between the user’s body and the back of the device. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of

0.39 inches (1cm) must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of the device.

Any beltclips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components may not be used. Body-worn accessories that cannot maintain 0.39 inches (1cm) separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the device, and have not been tested for typical body-worn operations may not comply with FCC RF exposure limits and should be avoided.

Part 15.105 Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• To view the locked content in the Gallery or QuickMemo+.

• Confirm a purchase by signing in to an app or identifying yourself with

your fingerprint.

• Your fingerprint can be used by the device for user identification. Very

similar fingerprints from different users may be recognised by the fingerprint sensor as the same fingerprint.

Precautions for fingerprint recognition

Fingerprint recognition accuracy may decrease due to a number of reasons. To maximise the recognition accuracy, check the following before using the device.

• 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 is 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.

Custom-designed Features 29

• 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 coin or key before scanning fingerprints to remove static electricity.
