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 1.060 W/kg (1g) and when worn on the body is 0.472 W/kg (1g) at 15 mm, which is 100% compliant with Indian Standards and Safe.
6
•This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position against the ear or when positioned at least 15 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 15 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 invalidate any approval or warranty applying to the device 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 device in any area where you are required to by special regulations. For example, do not use your device in hospitals as it may affect sensitive medical equipment.
•Do not handle the device with wet hands while it is being charged. It may cause an electric shock and can seriously damage your device.
•Do not charge a handset near flammable material as the handset can become hot and create a fire hazard.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use |

Efficient device operation
Electronics devices
All devices may receive interference, which could affect performance.
•Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without requesting permission. Please consult your doctor to determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the operation of your medical device.
•Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that you leave at least 15 cm of space between other devices and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
•This device may produce a bright or flashing light.
•Some hearing aids might be disturbed by devices.
•Minor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs etc.
•Use your device in temperatures between 0 ºC and 40 ºC, if possible. Exposing your device 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.
Road safety
Check the laws and regulations on the use of devices in the area when you drive.
•Do not use a hand-held device 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.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use |
9 |
•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. 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 device are made of glass. This glass could break if your 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 device until the glass is replaced by an authorised service provider.
Blasting area
Do not use the device where blasting is in progress. Observe restrictions and follow any regulations or rules.

Custom-designed Features |
16 |
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.
•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.
