Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the advanced and compact MG230d mobile phone, designed to operate with the latest digital mobile communication technology.

This user’s guide contains important information on the use and operation of this phone. Please read all the information carefully for optimal performance and to prevent any damage to or misuse of the phone. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this user’s guide could void your warranty for this equipment.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal. Further detailed information is given in this manual.

Exposure to radio frequency energy

RADIO WAVE EXPOSURE AND SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR) INFORMATION

This mobile phone model MG230d has been designed to comply with applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. This requirement is 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 2W/kg averaged over ten (10) gram of tissue.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

] The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by DASY4 for use at the

ear is 1.36 W/kg (10g).

] SAR data information for residents in countries/regions that have adopted

the SAR limit recommended by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one (1) gram of tissue (for example USA, Canada, Australia and Taiwan).

Product care and maintenance

] Do not disassemble this unit. Take it to a qualified service technician when

repair work is required.

] Keep away from electrical appliances such as a TV's, radios or personal

computers.

] The unit should be kept away from heat sources such as radiators or

cookers.

] Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will cause the battery to

explode.

WARNING! Only use 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.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

] Do not drop. ] Do not subject this unit to mechanical vibration or shock. ] The coating of the phone may be damaged if covered with wrap or vinyl

wrapper.

] Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene, thinners, etc.) or

detergents to clean your phone. There is a risk of this causing a fire.

] 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, such as earphones and headsets, with caution. Ensure that

cables are tucked away safely and do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.

] Please remove the data cable before powering on the handset.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Efficient phone operation

To enjoy optimum performance with minimum power consumption please:

] Do not hold the antenna when the phone is in use. If you hold it, it can affect

call quality, it may also cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than needed and shorten talk and standby times.

Electronic devices

All mobile phones may get interference, which could affect performance.

] Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without requesting

permission. Avoid placing the phone over pacemakers (i.e. in your breast pocket.)

] Some hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile phones. ] Minor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs, etc.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Road safety

Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones in the areas when you drive.

] Do not use a hand-held phone while driving. ] Give full attention to driving. ] Use a hands-free kit, if available. ] 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 motor vehicle such as

a car stereo or safety equipment.

] If your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do not obstruct it with installed or

portable wireless equipment. It can 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 particularly imperative when attempting to cross the street.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Avoid damage to your hearing

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.

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 the phone at a refueIling point. Don't use near fuel or chemicals. ] Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the

compartment of your vehicle, which contains your mobile phone and accessories.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

In aircraft

Wireless devices can cause interference in aircraft.

] Turn off your mobile phone before boarding any aircraft. ] Do not use it on the ground without crew permission.

Children

Keep the phone in a safe place out of small children's reach. It includes small parts which if detached may cause a choking hazard.

Emergency calls

Emergency calls may not be available under all mobile networks. Therefore, you should never depend solely on your mobile phone for emergency calls. Check with your local service provider. Dial 0-0-0 local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone! Dial 1-1-2 internationally for emergency services.

Battery information and care
