Product Authentication program

Dear Customers,

To protect all LG customers from counterfeit and grey market products and make sure that you receive official warranty service, LG is now running a product authentication program.

To make sure your handset is a genuine product of LG, ONLY one SMS containing the IMEI No. of your purchased handset will be automatically sent to LG on the date of purchase.

Once your phone is authenticated, you will receive the message ‘Your handset is a genuine LG product.’

The customer shall bear the cost of one SMS for the product authentication program.

In return, you will receive one additional month of warranty for free.

One additional month of warranty covers only mobile phone, not batteries and accessories.

The IMEI No. sent to LG guarantees your handset to be free from manufacturing defects during the warranty period from the date of purchase without proof of purchase or warranty card.

Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal.

Exposure to radio frequency energy

Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information

This mobile phone model LG-P525 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 users, 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-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) is 2 W/kg averaged over 10g of tissue.

•The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by DASY4 for use close to the ear is 0.948 W/kg (10g) and when worn on the body is 1.11 W/kg (10g).

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