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 Optimus 3D 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 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).

Guidelines for safe and efﬁcient use

The SAR limit recommended by the Institute of

•

Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is 1.6 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 void 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 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 which could cause injury or 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.

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. Your mobile phone may cause interference with some

•

hearing aids. Minor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs, etc.

•

Road safety

•

Do not use a hand-held phone while driving. Give full attention to driving. Use a hands-free kit. Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions allow you to do so. RF energy may affect some electronic systems in your vehicle such as car stereos and safety equipment. If your vehicle is equipped with an airbag, ensure it is not obstructed by your mobile device or accessories. It may fail or cause a serious injury if obstructed when deployed. 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 important 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. Therefore we recommend not to turn the phone on or off while holding 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 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 authorized service provider.

Blasting area

Do not use the phone where blasting is in progress. Observe restrictions, and follow any regulations or rules.

Guidelines for safe and efﬁcient use

Potentially explosive atmospheres

Do not use the phone at a petrol station.

•

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 includes 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.

Use your mobile phone to call emergency services for yourself or others in the case of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies;

- Australia Dial (0-0-0)

- New Zealand Dial (1-1-1)

- International Dial (1-1-2)

- other local emergency number. Remember, it is a free call when dialling emergency

services from your mobile phone in Australia.

Battery information and care

You do not need to completely discharge the battery

•

before recharging. Unlike older batteries, there is no memory effect that could compromise the battery’s performance. Use only LG batteries and chargers. LG chargers are

•

designed to maximize the battery life.

Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.

•

Keep the metal contacts of the battery clean.

•

Replace the battery when it no longer provides

•

acceptable performance. Recharge the battery if it has not been used for a long

•

time to maximize 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. Replacing with an incorrect battery increases the

•

chance of explosion.

Guidelines for safe and efﬁcient use

Dispose of used batteries in accordance with your

•

local council regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste. If you need to replace the battery, take it to the

•

nearest authorized LG Electronics service point or dealer for assistance. Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after

•

the phone is fully charged to prevent unnecessary power consumption of the charger. Actual battery life will depend on network

•

configuration, product settings, usage patterns, battery and environmental conditions.

Driver Safety Tips

Your mobile telephone gives you the powerful ability to communicate almost anywhere, anytime, but an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of mobile phones, one that every user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your mobile phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and remember the following tips:

•

Use a hands free device to add an additional layer of convenience and safety to your wireless phone with one of the many hands free accessories available today.

Let the person you are speaking with know you are

•

driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffic can be hazardous. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while

•

driving. Typing up a “to do” list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility of driving safely. Place calls when you are not moving or before pulling

•

into traffic. Try to plan calls when you will not be driving. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations

•

that may be distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations

that have the potential to divert your attention from the road. Use your mobile phone to call emergency services for

•

yourself or others in the case of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies;

- Australia Dial (0-0-0)

- New Zealand Dial (1-1-1)

- International Dial (1-1-2)

- other local emergency number. Remember, it is a free call when dialling emergency services from your mobile phone in Australia. Use your mobile phone to help others in emergencies.

•

If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call

Guidelines for safe and efﬁcient use

the emergency number, as you would want others to do for you. If you see a broken down vehicle posing no serious

•

hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance, local traffic autority or police station.

3D Content Viewing Precautions

NOTE: When viewing 3D content, hold and adjust the device to an appropriate viewing angle and distance, to optimise the 3D experience. If you exceed this viewing angle or distance, you may not be able to view the 3D content.

WARNINGS FOR VIEWING 3D CONTENT:

•

Viewing 3D content, including videos and games, for long period of time can cause eyestrain, drowsiness, headaches, nausea or fatigue. Stop viewing immediately and rest if you experience any of these symptoms. If you watch 3D content too closely or for too long, it may harm your eyesight. Some 3D content may cause you to react, such as ducking or dodging the image displayed in the video/ game. Therefore, it is best not to view 3D content near fragile or sharp objects that could cause injury. Do not view 3D content while driving, walking

or moving around. This may result in injury from bumping into objects, tripping or falling. Please check with a medical specialist before allowing

•

children to view 3D content on the device, as viewing 3D content may affect sight development. Warning about photosensitisation seizures:

•

• If you or anyone in your family has a history of

epilepsy or seizures, please check with a medical specialist before viewing 3D content.

• If you or anyone in your family experiences any of

the following symptoms, immediately stop viewing the 3D content and consult a doctor: dizziness or light-headedness, visual transition or alterations,

visual or facial instability, such as eye or muscle twitching, unconscious actions, convulsions, loss of consciousness, confusion or disorientation, loss of directional sense, cramps or nausea. Parents should closely monitor children, including teenagers, for these symptoms as they may be more sensitive to the effects of watching 3D content. Note: These symptoms can occur in any situation without any previous history.

• The risk of photosensitisation seizure can be

reduced by taking the following actions:

• Take frequent breaks from watching 3D

content on your phone.

Guidelines for safe and efﬁcient use

• If your sight is different in each eye, only

view 3D content after taking vision correction measures.

• Some viewers may feel disoriented after viewing

3D content. Therefore, after viewing 3D content on your phone, take a moment to regain awareness of your surroundings before moving.

• Due to characteristics of polarized sunglasses,

images on the phone can appear dark in certain angles while viewing with the glasses on.

3. Installing an open source OS

If you install an open source OS on your phone and do not use the OS provided by the manufacturer, your phone may malfunction.

WARNING

If you install and use an OS other than the one provided by the manufacturer, your phone will not be covered by the warranty.

WARNING

To protect your phone and personal data, only download applications from trusted sources such as Android Market. If some applications are incorrectly installed on your phone, your phone may not work properly, or serious errors may occur. You will need to remove these applications and all their data and settings from the phone.

Important note

This opens a set of screens that guide you through drawing a screen unlock pattern.

You can draw your own unlock pattern by connecting four or more dots. If you set a pattern, the phone screen will lock. To unlock the phone, enter the pattern you have set on the screen.

Caution: Create a Gmail account first, before setting an

unlock pattern.

WARNING

Precautions to take when using Pattern Lock

It is essential that you remember the unlock pattern you set. You have ﬁve chances to enter your unlock pattern, PIN or password. Once you have used all ﬁve chances, you can try again 30 seconds later.

you want to connect to that network by touching Connect. If the network is secured, you are prompted to enter

•

a password or other credentials. (Ask your network administrator for details.)

Important note

The status bar displays icons indicating Wi-Fi status.

6. Opening and switching applications

Multi-tasking is easy with Android because open applications keep running even when you open other applications. You do not need to quit an application before opening another one. Use and switch between several open applications. Android manages each application, stopping and starting it as needed, to ensure idle applications don’t consume resources unnecessarily.

To stop using an application:

On the homescreen, touch the Applications tab

and select Settings> Applications> Manage

applications. Scroll to the chosen application and touch Force

Stop to close it.
