Guidelines for safe and efcient 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-H960 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-
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 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.

Some contents and illustrations may differ from your device without
prior notice.
•
Do not disassemble this unit. Take it to a qualified service technician

•
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.

hear what you are listening to.
NOTE
•
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.
