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. Use only LG batteries and
• chargers. LG chargers are designed to maximise the battery life. Do not disassemble or short-
• circuit the battery pack. Keep the metal contacts of the
• battery pack clean.
Replace the battery when it
• no longer provides acceptable performance. The battery pack maybe recharged hundreds of times until it needs replacing. Recharge the battery if it has
• 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.

If you install and use an OS other than the one provided by the manufacturer, your phone is no longer covered by the warranty.
13
Important notice
WARNING
To protect your phone and personal data, only download applications from trusted sources, such as Android Market. If there are improperly installed applications on your phone, your phone may not work normally or a serious error may occur. You must uninstall those applications and all their data and settings from the phone.
