Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
information
This mobile phone model T5100 has been designed to comply with
applicable safety requirement for exposure to radio waves. This
requirement is based on scientific guidelines that include safety
margins designed to assure this 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 standardized method 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), which is 2W/kg
averaged over ten (10) gram of tissue.
• The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by DASY4 for
use at the ear is 0.592 W/kg (10g).
• SAR data information for residents in countries/regions that have
adopted the SAR limit recommended by the Institute of Electrical

Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless telephone gives you the powerful ability to
communicate by voice – almost anywhere, anytime. But an
important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless
phones, one that every user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using
your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good
common sense and remember the following tips:
1. When available, use a hands free device. If possible, add an
additional layer of convenience and safety to your wireless
phone with one of the many hands free accessories available
today.
2. 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.
3.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Jotting
down a “to do” list or flipping through your address book takes
attention away from your primary responsibility, driving safety.
4. If possible, place calls when you are not moving or before pulling
into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be.
5. 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.
6. Use your wireless phone to call for you. Or other Dial 0-0-0
or 1-1-2 local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic
accident or medical emergencies. Remember, it is a free call
on your wireless phone!
8
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
7. Use your wireless 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 0-0-0 or 1-1-2 to call
emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.
8. Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless
assistance number when necessary. 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 or other special nonemergency wireless number.
