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-P895 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 (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 10g of tissue.
• The highest SAR value for this model
phone tested by DASY4 for use at the ear is
0.284 W/kg (10 g) and when worn on the
body is 0.604 W/kg(10 g) , which is 100%
compliant with Indian Standards 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
8
case, belt clip or holder is used for bodyworn 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.

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,
10
thinner or alcohol).
• Do not charge the phone when it is on soft
furnishings.
• The phone should be charged in a well
ventilated area.

Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
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 and headphones can
cause hearing loss.

•
•
•
• Use only LG batteries and chargers. LG
chargers are designed to maximise the
battery life.
• Do not disassemble or short-circuit the
battery.
• Replace the battery when it no longer
provides acceptable performance. The
battery pack may be recharged hundreds of
times before 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, as this may deteriorate battery
performance.
• There is risk of explosion if the battery is
replaced with an incorrect type.

Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
• 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.
• 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.
