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-P940
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 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 0.564 W/kg (10
g) and when worn on the body is
0.762 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

8
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.
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 is in progress. Observe
restrictions, and follow any
regulations or rules.
Potentially explosive
atmospheres

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.
Use only LG batteries and
•
chargers. LG chargers are
designed to maximise the battery

THE PHONE, PLEASE READ
THIS!
Please check to see whether any
problems you encountered with
your phone are described in this
section before taking the phone
in for service or calling a service
representative.
1. Phone memory

personal data, only download
applications from trusted
sources, such as Android
Market™. If there are improperly
installed applications on
your phone, it may not work
normally or a serious error may
occur. You must uninstall those
applications and all associated
data and settings from the
