Guidelines for safe and effi cient 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 LG­P690 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 by DASY4
for use at the ear is 1.05 W/kg
(10 g) and when worn on the
body is 0.606 W/kg (10 g).
SAR data information for

•
residents in countries/regions
that have adopted the SAR limit
recommended by the Institute
of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE), which is 1.6

5

Guidelines for safe and effi cient use

W/kg averaged over 1g of
tissue.

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 invalidate any
approval or warranty applying
to the phone, and may be
dangerous.

Do not disassemble this unit.

•
Take it to a qualified service
technician when repair work is
required.
Repairs under warranty, at LG’s

•
option, may include replacement
parts or boards that are either
new or reconditioned, provided
that they have functionality

6

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
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 the 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.

7

Guidelines for safe and effi cient use

Give full attention to driving.

Efficient phone operation

Electronics 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, for example, in
your breast pocket.

•

Some hearing aids might be
disturbed by mobile phones.
Minor interference may affect

•
TVs, radios, PCs, etc.

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.

8

•
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 particularly imperative when
near roads.

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.

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 can
cause hearing loss.

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. 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

Do not use the phone at a

•
refueling point.
Do not use near fuel or

•
chemicals.

9

Guidelines for safe and effi cient use

Do not transport or store

•
flammable gas, liquid, or
explosives in the same
compartment of your vehicle
as your mobile phone and
accessories.

In aircraft

Wireless devices can cause
interference in aircraft.

Turn your mobile phone off

•
before boarding any aircraft.
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.

10

Emergency calls

Emergency calls may not be
available under all mobile
networks. Therefore, you should
never depend solely on the phone
for emergency calls. Check with
your local service provider.

Battery information and
care

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.

•
not been used for a long time to
maximise usability.
Do not expose the battery

•
charger to direct sunlight or use
it in high humidity, such as in
the bathroom.
Do not leave the battery in hot or

•
cold places, this may deteriorate
the battery performance.
There is risk of explosion if

•
the battery is replaced by an
incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries

•
according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Please recycle
when possible. Do not dispose
as household waste.

If you need to replace the

•
battery, take it to the nearest
authorised LG Electronics
service point or dealer for
assistance.
Always unplug the charger

•
from the wall socket after the
phone is fully charged to save
unnecessary power consumption
of the charger.
Actual battery life will depend on

•
network configuration, product
settings, usage patterns, battery
and environmental conditions.

It is very important to
remember the unlock pattern
you set. You will not be able to
access your phone if you use
an incorrect pattern 5 times.
You have 5 opportunities to
enter your unlock pattern, PIN
or password. If you have used
all 5 opportunities, you can try
again after 30 seconds.

When you cannot recall your

If there are any programs running
when you set the pattern, they
may be still running in Lock mode.
It is recommended that you exit
all programs before entering the
Lock mode to avoid unnecessary
charges (e.g. phone calls, Web
access and data communications).

Setting an unlock pattern: you
can draw your own unlock pattern
by connecting the dots.
If you set a pattern, the phone
screen locks. To unlock the phone,
draw the pattern that you set on
the screen.

Caution: when you set an unlock
pattern, you need to create your
Google account fi rst.

Caution: if there are more than 5
pattern drawing errors in a row,
you cannot unlock the phone.

Recommandations pour une utilisation sûre et effi cace

Veuillez lire ces recommandations.
Leur non-respect peut s’avérer
dangereux, voire illégal.

Exposition aux
radiofréquences

Informations sur l’exposition
aux ondes radio et sur le débit
d’absorption spécifique (SAR,
Specific Absorption Rate). Le
téléphone portable LG-P690
est conforme aux exigences de
sécurité relatives à l’exposition aux
ondes radio. Ces exigences sont
basées sur des recommandations
scientifiques qui comprennent des
marges de sécurité destinées à
garantir la sécurité de toutes les
personnes, quels que soient leur
âge et leur condition physique.

Les recommandations relatives
à l’exposition aux ondes radio
utilisent une unité de mesure
connue sous le nom de débit
d’absorption spécifique (DAS).

6

Les tests de mesure du DAS sont
effectués à l’aide de méthodes
normalisées, en utilisant le niveau
de puissance certifié le plus élevé
du téléphone, dans toutes les
bandes de fréquence utilisées.

•

Même si tous les modèles de
téléphones LG n’appliquent pas
les mêmes niveaux de DAS,
ils sont tous conformes aux
recommandations appropriées
en matière d’exposition aux
ondes radio.
La limite de DAS recommandée

•
par l’ICNIRP (Commission
internationale de protection
contre les rayonnements non
ionisants)
est de 2 W/kg en moyenne sur
dix (10) grammes de tissus.
La valeur DAS la plus élevée

•
pour ce modèle de téléphone a
été mesurée par DASY4 (pour
une utilisation à l’oreille) à

1.05 W/kg (10 g) et à 0.606 W/
kg (10 g) quand il est porté au
niveau du corps.
La valeur DAS applicable aux

•
habitants de pays/régions
ayant adopté la limite du SAR
recommandée par l’IEEE (Institut
des Ingénieurs Électriciens et
Électroniciens) est de 1,6 W/
Kg en moyenne pour un (1)
gramme de tissu humain.

Entretien et réparation

AVERTISSEMENT

Utilisez uniquement des
batteries, chargeurs et
accessoires agréés pour
ce modèle de téléphone.
L’utilisation de tout autre type
de batterie de chargeur et
d’accessoire peut s’avérer
dangereuse et peut annuler
tout accord ou garantie
applicable au téléphone.

Ne démontez pas votre

•
téléphone. Si une réparation
s’avère nécessaire, confiez-le à
un technicien qualifié.
Les réparations couvertes par

•
cette garantie peuvent inclure, à
la discrétion de LG, des pièces
ou circuits de remplacement
neufs ou reconditionnés, sous
réserve que leurs fonctionnalités
soient équivalentes à celles des
pièces remplacées.
Tenez votre téléphone éloigné

•
des appareils électriques, tels
que téléviseurs, postes radio et
ordinateurs personnels.
Ne placez pas votre téléphone à

•
proximité de sources de chaleur,
telles qu’un radiateur ou une
cuisinière.
Ne le faites pas tomber.

•
Ne soumettez pas votre

•
téléphone à des vibrations
mécaniques ou à des chocs.

7

Recommandations pour une utilisation sûre et effi cace

Éteignez votre téléphone dans

•
les zones où des règlements
spéciaux l’exigent. Par
exemple, n’utilisez pas votre
téléphone dans les hôpitaux,
car celui-ci pourrait perturber
le bon fonctionnement des
équipements médicaux
sensibles.
Si vos mains sont mouillées,

•
évitez tout contact avec le
téléphone lorsqu’il est en
cours de charge. Ceci peut
provoquer un choc électrique et
endommager votre téléphone.
Évitez de mettre votre téléphone

•
en charge à proximité de
matériaux inflammables car il
pourrait chauffer et déclencher
un incendie.
Le revêtement de votre

•
téléphone risque d’être
endommagé si vous le recouvrez
d’un emballage en vinyle.

8

Ne rechargez pas votre

•
téléphone lorsqu’il est posé sur
du tissu.
Rechargez votre téléphone dans

•
une zone bien ventilée.
N’exposez pas le téléphone à de

•
la fumée ou de la poussière en
quantité excessive.
Ne placez votre téléphone à

•
proximité de cartes de crédit
ou de titres de transport, car il
pourrait altérer les données des
bandes magnétiques.
N’appuyez pas sur l’écran avec

•
un objet pointu, vous risqueriez
d’endommager votre téléphone.
Ne mettez pas votre téléphone

•
en contact avec des liquides ou
des éléments humides.
Utilisez les accessoires tels que

•
l’oreillette avec la plus grande
précaution. Ne manipulez pas
l’antenne inutilement.

Évitez d'utiliser, de toucher ou de

•
tenter de retirer ou de réparer
du verre cassé, ébréché ou
fissuré. Un endommagement de
l'écran en verre causé par une
utilisation abusive ou incorrecte
n'est pas couvert par la garantie.
Votre téléphone est un

•
appareil électronique qui
produit de la chaleur en
fonctionnement normal. Lors
d'une utilisation prolongée
dans un environnement mal
ventilé, le contact direct
avec la peau peut provoquer
une gêne ou des brûlures
bénignes. Manipulez donc votre
téléphone avec précaution
lors de son fonctionnement ou
immédiatement après utilisation.

9

Recommandations pour une utilisation sûre et effi cace

Ne tenez pas le téléphone

•
dans votre main alors que vous
conduisez.
Concentrez toute votre attention

•
sur la conduite.
Utilisez un kit mains libres, si

•

Si les conditions de conduite le

•
permettent, quittez la route et
garez-vous avant d’émettre ou
de recevoir un appel.
Les radiofréquences peuvent

•
affecter certains systèmes
électroniques de votre véhicule
motorisé, tels que le système
audio stéréo ou les équipements
de sécurité.
Lorsque votre véhicule est

•
équipé d’un airbag, ne gênez
pas son déclenchement avec un
équipement sans fil portable ou

de s’ouvrir ou provoquer de
graves blessures en raison de
performances inadéquates.

10

Lorsque vous écoutez de la

•
musique en extérieur, veuillez
vous assurer que le volume
n’est pas trop élevé de façon
à bien entendre ce qu’il se
passe autour de vous. Cela est
particulièrement recommandé
lorsque vous vous apprêtez à
traverser la rue.

Nuisances auditives

Vous exposer à un volume sonore
très élevé pendant longtemps
peut nuire à votre ouïe. Nous
vous recommandons de ne pas
tenir l’appareil près de votre
oreille lorsque le mode mains
libres est activé. Pendant les
communications ou lorsque vous
écoutez de la musique, réglez le
volume à un niveau raisonnable.

Lorsque vous utilisez des

•
écouteurs, baissez le volume si
vous n'entendez pas les gens
parler près de vous ou si la

personne assise à côté de vous
entend ce que vous écoutez.

Parti

REMARQUE: Une pression

sonore trop élevée provenant
de vos oreillettes pourrait
entraîner une perte de votre
acuité auditive.

Parties en verre

Certaines parties de votre
téléphone portable sont en verre.
Ce verre pourrait se briser en cas
de chute sur une surface dure
ou d’impact considérable. Le cas
échéant, évitez de toucher ou de
retirer le verre brisé. N’utilisez plus
votre téléphone portable jusqu’à
ce que ce verre soit remplacé par
un fournisseur de service agréé.

risquerait de s’étouffer avec les
petites pièces.

Appels d’urgence
