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 LP-P970h 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 1.27 W/kg (10g) and when worn on the body is

1.43 W/Kg(10g). SAR data information for

•

residents in countries/regions that have adopted the SAR limit recommended by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), which is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1g of tissue.

Guidelines for safe and efﬁcient use

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 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 to 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 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 accessories like earphones

cautiously. Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.

Efficient phone operation

Electronicsdevices

All mobile phones may receive 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.

Guidelines for safe and efﬁcient use

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.

•

Use a hands-free kit, if available.

•

Pull off the road and park before

•

making or answering a call if driving conditions require 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 air bag, do not obstruct it with installed or portable wireless equipment. This 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 of particular importance when near roads.

Avoid damage to your hearing

Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed to loud sounds for long periods of time. We therefore recommend that you do not turn the handset on or off close to your ear. We also recommend that music and call volumes are set to a reasonable level.

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 it. 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 your 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 or 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 on all mobile networks. Therefore you should never depend solely on your phone for emergency calls. Check with your local service provider.

Guidelines for safe and efﬁcient use

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 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. 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. Dispose of used batteries

•

according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste. 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.
