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-T515 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 users, 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.

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 close to your ear. We also recommend that music and call volumes are set to a reasonable level.

NOTE: Excessive sound and pressure from earphones can causing hearing loss.

Blasting area

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

Potentially explosive atmospheres

• Do not use the 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 and accessories.

• 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-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) is 2W/kg averaged over 10g of tissue.

• The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by DASY4 for use close to the ear is 0.924 W/kg (10g) and when worn on the body is 0.859 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.

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.
