GPS/Location Services/Navigation
Your device uses Global Positioning System (GPS)
signals for its location-based applications, like maps
and turn-by-turn navigation. Data collected by these
applications are provided by third parties and are
subject to change without notice. Also GPS services
may not be available or maybe of limited availability
in certain areas, or information may be outdated,
incomplete or inaccurate. Therefore, GPS applications
should only be relied on for general location based
guidance. Users should always visually confirm that
navigation instructions are accurate and consistent
with what they see before following them. Users may
also wish to consult additional sources for precise
locations and directions. LG takes no responsibility
for the accuracy or results of any data or information
provided by a third party provider of maps or
navigation services, even if preloaded on your device.
USERS OF GPS SERVICES SHOULD ALWAYS BE
CAREFUL TO PAY ATTENTION TO ROAD SIGNS,
TRAFFIC LIGHTS, TRAFFIC CONDITIONS, ROAD
CONDITIONS, CLOSURES AND ALL OTHER
FACTORS THAT AFFECT SAFE AND LAWFUL
DRIVING.
Location-based information includes information that

Avoid Potential Hearing Loss
Note: Excessive sound pressure from earphones can
cause hearing loss.
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music)
is the most common cause of preventable hearing
loss. Some scientific research suggests that using
portable audio devices, such as portable music
players, at high volume settings for long durations
may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss.
This includes the use of headphones (including
headsets, earphones and Bluetooth® or other wireless
devices). Exposure to very loud sounds has also
been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a
ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound and
distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noiseinduced hearing loss and other potential hearing
problems varies. The amount of sound produced
by a portable audio device varies depending on
the nature of the sounds, the device, the device
setting and the headphones. You should follow some
recommendations when using any portable audio
device:
• Set the volume in a quiet environment and
select the lowest volume at which you can hear
adequately.
• 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.
• Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy
surroundings. If you choose to listen to your
portable device in a noisy environment, use noisecancelling headphones to block out background
environmental noise.
• Limit the amount of time you listen. An increase
in volume means less time is required before your
hearing could be affected.
• Avoid using headphones after exposure to
extremely loud noises, such as music concerts,
that might cause temporary hearing loss.
Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe
volumes to sound normal.
9
• Do not listen at any volume that causes you
discomfort. If you experience ringing in your ears,
hear muffled speech or experience any temporary
hearing difficulty after listening to your portable
audio device, discontinue use and consult your
doctor.
