7
Page 10
• Give full attention to driving. Driving safely is
always your first responsibility;
• Never use wireless data services, such as
text messaging, email or web browsing, while
operating your vehicle.
• If your device is capable of receiving or
making voice calls, use of a hands-free device
is recommended and may be required in
agreement to local law.
• Use of headphones to listen to your device while
driving, even if only in one ear, is dangerous and

laws.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place
objects, including either installed or portable wireless
equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air
bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment
is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious
injury could result.
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in certain areas, or information may be outdated,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
can be used to determine the approximate location
of your device. Your device transmits locationbased information while connected to a wireless
carrier network. In addition, certain location-based
applications require location-based information to
function properly and also transmit your locationbased data. Location-based data may be shared with
third parties, including your wireless service provider,
LG, third party application providers and others.
8
LG-V900 | User Guide
Page 11
Third Party Software
Many services and applications offered through this
device are provided by various third party operating
system, software and application developers. If
you download or use such a service or application,
including from an applications marketplace, you
should carefully review the terms of such service
or application. If you USE ANY of these services or
applications, personal information you submit may be
read, collected or used by the service or application
provider and/or other users of those forums. LG is
not responsible for your use of those applications
or information you choose to submit or share with
others. Specific terms and conditions, terms of use
and privacy polices apply to those applications and
services. Please review carefully any and all terms
and conditions applicable to those applications and
services including those related to any location-based
services for any particular privacy policies, risks or
waivers.
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
Page 12
• 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.
