Guidelines for safe and efficient use
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-P655k 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.
t The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). Tests for SAR are conducted using
standardised methods with the phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all used frequency bands.
t 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.
t The SAR limit recommended by the International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) is 2 W/kg averaged over 10g of tissue.
t The highest SAR value for this model phone tested for use at the ear is
0.577 W/kg (10g) and when worn on the body is 0.633 W/Kg (10g).
t This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal
use position against the ear or when positioned at least 1.5 cm 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 1.5 cm
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.
5
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Product care and maintenance
WARNING
Only use batteries, chargers and accessories approved for use with this particular
phone model. The use of any other types may void any approval or warranty
applying to the phone and may be dangerous.
t Do not disassemble this unit. Take it to a qualified service technician when
repair work is required.
t 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.
t Keep away from electrical appliances such as TVs, radios and personal
computers.
t The unit should be kept away from heat sources such as radiators or cookers.
t Do not drop.
t Do not subject this unit to mechanical vibration or shock.
t 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.
t 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.
t Do not charge a handset near flammable material as the handset can
become hot and create a fire hazard.
t Use a dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit (do not use solvents such as
benzene, thinner or alcohol).
t Do not charge the phone when it is on soft furnishings.
t The phone should be charged in a well ventilated area.
t Do not subject this unit to excessive smoke or dust.
t Do not keep the phone next to credit cards or transport tickets; it can affect
the information on the magnetic strips.
6
t Do not tap the screen with a sharp object as it may damage the phone.
t Do not expose the phone to liquid or moisture.
t Use accessories like earphones cautiously. Do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily.
t 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.
t 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.
t 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.
t The liquid in your wet phone, changes the color 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.
t Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without requesting
permission. Avoid placing the phone over pacemakers, for example, in your
breast pocket.
t Some hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile phones.
t Minor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs etc.
t Use your phone in temperatures between 0ºC and 40ºC, if possible.
Exposing your phone to extremely low or high temperatures may result in
damage, malfunction, or even explosion.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Road safety
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones in the area when
you drive.
t Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.
t Give full attention to driving.
t Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
t RF energy may affect some electronic systems in your vehicle such as car
stereos and safety equipment.
t 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.
t 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.
t 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.
NOTE: Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause
hearing loss.
8
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 environments
t Do not use your phone at a refueling point.
t Do not use near fuel or chemicals.
t 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.
t Turn your mobile phone off before boarding any aircraft.
t 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.
9
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Emergency calls
Emergeny callls may not be available under all network conditions. Therefore,
you should never depend solely on the phone for emergency calls.
Use your mobile phone to call emergency services for yourself or others in the
case of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies;
- Australia Dial (0-0-0)
- New Zealand Dial (1-1-1)
- International Dial (1-1-2)
- other local emergency number.
Remember, it is a free call when dialling emergency services from your mobile
phone in Australia.
Battery information and care
t You do not need to completely discharge the battery before recharging.
Unlike other battery systems, there is no memory effect that could
compromise the battery's performance.
t Use only LG batteries and chargers. LG chargers are designed to maximise
the battery life.
t Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
t Replace the battery pack at the nearest authorised LG Electronics
servicepoint or dealer when it no longer provides acceptable performance.
Removal of the back cover may void your warranty.
t Do not expose the battery charger to direct sunlight or use it in high
humidity, such as in the bathroom.
t Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, as this may deteriorate battery
performance.
t There is risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type.
t If you need to replace the battery, take it to the nearest authorised LG
Electronics service point or dealer for assistance.
t Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully
10
charged to save unnecessary power consumption of the charger.
t Actual battery life will depend on network configuration, product settings,
usage patterns, battery and environmental conditions.
t Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal’s teeth or nails, come
into contact with the battery. This could cause a fire.
Driver Safety Tips
Your mobile telephone gives you the powerful ability to communicate almost
anywhere, anytime. But an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of
mobile phones, one that every user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is
your first responsibility. When using your mobile phone behind the wheel of a
car, practice good common sense and remember the following tips:
t Use a hands-free kit with the device to add an additional layer of convenience
and safety to your wireless phone with one of the many hands free
accessories available today.
t Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary,
disconnect the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain,
sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
t Do not take or write notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Typing up
a “to do” list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from
your primary responsibility of driving safely.
t Place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan
calls when you will not be driving.
t Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be
distracting.
t Use your mobile phone to call emergency services for yourself or others in
the case of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies;
- Australia Dial (0-0-0)
- New Zealand Dial (1-1-1)
- International Dial (1-1-2)
- other local emergency number.
Remember, it is a free call when dialling emergency services from your
11
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
mobile phone in Australia.
t Use your mobile phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto
accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in
danger, call the emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.
t If you see a broken down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic
signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle
you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance, local traffic authority or police
station.

Touch Screen tips
Here are some tips on how to navigate on your phone.
Tap or touch – A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts and letters on
the on-screen keyboard.
Touch and hold – Touch and hold an item on the screen by touching it and
not lifting your finger until an action occurs. For example, to open a contact's
available options, touch and hold the contact in the Contacts list until the
context menu opens.
Drag – Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your
finger, move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position. You
can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.
Swipe or slide – To swipe or slide, quickly move your finger across the surface
of the screen, without pausing when you first touch it (so you don’t drag an
item instead). For example, you can slide the screen up or down to scroll
through a list, or browse through the different Home screens by swiping from
left to right (and vice versa).
Double-tap – Double-tap to zoom on a webpage or a map. For example,
quickly double-tap a section of a webpage to adjust that section to fit the
width of the screen. You can also double-tap to zoom in and out after taking a
picture (using the Camera), and when using Maps.
Pinch-to-Zoom – Use your index finger and thumb in a pinching or spreading
motion to zoom in or out when using the browser or Maps, or when browsing
pictures.
Rotate the screen – From many applications and menus, the orientation of the
screen adjusts to the device's physical orientation.
NOTE:
t To select an item, touch the center of the icon.
t Do not press too hard; the touch screen is sensitive enough to pick up a
light, yet firm touch.
t Use the tip of your finger to touch the option you want. Be careful not to
touch any other keys.
