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.

Important information about the device

• Device apps and services are subject to change or cancellation without notice,

depending on the provider’s situation and the software version.

• When the device is turned on for the first time, an initial configuration takes

place. The first booting time may be longer than usual.

Read before use

• To purchase optional items, contact the LG Customer Information Centre for

available dealers.

• The appearance and specifications of the device are subject to change without

notice.

• Do not use LG products for other purposes than those originally intended.

Using non-certified apps or software may damage the device and this is not
covered by warranty.

Exposure to radio frequency energy

Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information.

This mobile phone model LG-K580I 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

0.802 W/kg (1g) and when worn on the body is 0.739 W/Kg (1g) at 15 mm,
which is 100% compliant with Indian Standards and Safe.

• 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.

6Guidelines for safe and efficient use

• 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).

• 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.

7Guidelines for safe and efficient use

• 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.

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
