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-K535D 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

0.728 W/kg (1g) and when worn on the body is 0.542 W/Kg (1g) at
15 mm, which is 100% compliant with Indian Standards and Safe.

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 phone model. The use of any other types may
invalidate any approval or warranty applying to the phone 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.

6Guidelines for safe and efficient use

• 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 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.

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.

• Use your phone in temperatures between 0 ºC and 40 ºC, if possible.

Exposing your phone to extremely low or high temperatures may result in
damage, malfunction, or even explosion.

Precautions

• Use a wireless hands-free system (headphone, headset) with a low power

Bluetooth emitter.

• Keep your calls short or send text message (SMS) instead. This advice

applies especially to children, adolescents and pregnant women.

• Use the cell phone in good quality network signal.

• People having active medical implants should preferably keep the cell

phone at least 15 cm away from the implant.

8Guidelines 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. Make sure that you do not turn on or off the handset close to
your ear. Also, make sure 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.

9Guidelines 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.

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.

10Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Battery information and care

• 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.

• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used

batteries according to the instructions.

• 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.
