Guidelines for safe and efficient 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-P920
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.
The SAR limit recommended by
•
the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) is 2W/kg averaged over
10g of tissue.
The highest SAR value for this
•
model phone tested by DASY4 for
use at the ear is 0.368 W/kg (10
g) and when worn on the body is
0.562 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.
6
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
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 LG 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.
•
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
7
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 carefully when
handling your phone during or
immediately after operation.
8
Guidelines for safe and efficient 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.
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.
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
9
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
•
refuelling point.

•
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.
10
Guidelines for safe and efficient use

•
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
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.
11
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.
3D Content Viewing
Precautions
1. When viewing 3D content:
The vision of young children may
•
still be developing. 3D contents
should not be viewed by children
under the age of 5.
The recommended range for
•
viewing a 3D content is 30~40cm
away from the eyes. Some viewers
may experience symptoms of
discomfort such as nausea, eye
strain, fatigue and dizziness when
viewing 3D content. All viewers
should take regular breaks to
help avoid these symptoms. Each
person is different, so determine
the frequency and length of
breaks that works for you. If you
experience any symptoms of
discomfort, discontinue viewing
and take a break until the
symptoms go away. If symptoms
continue even after you stop
viewing and take a break, consult
a doctor.
Follow the guidelines provided
•
with your mobile device regarding
viewing distances and angles.
Watching 3D content within the
recommended viewing range may
lessen the likelihood that you could
experience any discomfort.
2. A responsible adult should
supervise the viewing of 3D
content by children to make
sure they follow recommended
use.
