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.

7

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), which
is 100% compliant with indian Standard
and Safe

• 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.

• 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.

9

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 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.

11

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.

should preferably keep the cell phone at
least 15cms away from the implant.

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.

• Give full attention to driving.

• 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.

13

Guidelines for safe and effi cient use

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.

14

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.

NOTE: Excessive sound pressure from

earphones can cause hearing loss.

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.

15

Guidelines for safe and effi cient use

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.

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.
