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 LG-P725 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 ensure 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.

Guidelines for safe and efﬁ cient use

• The SAR limit recommended by the

International Commission on Non-Ionizing 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 at the ear is 0.692 W/kg (10 g) and when worn on the body is 0.836 W/kg (10 g).

• 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.

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, and may cause a touching error.

• Do not disassemble this unit. Take it to a

qualified service technician when repair work is required.

• Repairs under warranty, at LG’s discretion,

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

Guidelines for safe and efﬁ cient use

• Do not subject this unit to mechanical

vibration or shock.

• Switch off the phone in any area where

you are required to do so 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

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,

moisture or humidity.

• 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.

• Do not use the phone or accessories

in places with high humidity such as pools, greenhouses, solariums or tropical environments, as it may cause damage to the phone and invalidation of warranty.

Guidelines for safe and efﬁ cient use

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.

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 the handset on or off when 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.

Guidelines for safe and efﬁ cient use

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 refuelling point.

• Do not use near fuel or chemicals.

• 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 contains small parts which may cause a choking hazard if detached.

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.

Guidelines for safe and efﬁ cient use

• 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

• Children under the age of 10 may be

CAUTION

more prone to react while watching 3D contents such as touching the screen, or jumping towards the image. Extra monitoring is required for children watching 3D contents. For children, the distance between their eyes is shorter than that of adults, so they have greater binocular disparity of 3D presentations than adults, perceiving more stereoscopic depth even for the same 3D image.

2.2 Teenagers

• Teenagers under the age of 19 may react with sensitivity due to stimulation from light in 3D contents. Advise them to refrain from watching 3D contents for a long time when they are tired.

2.3 Elderly

• Due to the age, elderly people may

perceive less 3D effect than younger people. Do not sit closer to the screen than the recommended distance.

3 Those that had a chronic illness and/or

pregnant

WARNING

• Do not watch 3D images if you feel nausea frequently, are pregnant and/ or have a chronic illness such as epilepsy, cardiac disorder, or blood pressure disease, etc.

• If you suffer from stereo blindness or stereo anomaly, it is not recommended to watch 3D images. You may experience double images or discomfort in viewing.

Guidelines for safe and efﬁ cient use

• If you have squint, amblyopic or astigmatism, you may have difficulty sensing depth and easily feel fatigued due to double images. It is advised to take a break more often than general adults do.

• If you have different eyesight between your right and left eyes, ensure to use your eye glasses (spectacles) before watching 3D images.

4 Symptoms requiring you to refrain

from or stop watching 3D images

WARNING

• Do not watch 3D images when you feel fatigue due to lack of sleep, overwork or drinking .
