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. Further, GPS services may not be available or of limited availability

8 LG-V901 | User Guide

in certain areas or information may be outdated, incomplete or inaccurate.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.

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, earbuds and Bluetooth® or other wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing

in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced 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 commonsense 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 surrounding. If you choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, use noisecancelling headphone to block out background environmental noise.

•Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increase, 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.

•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.

Children’s Safety

This device is packaged with small parts that can, if swallowed by children, cause asphyxiation or suffocation resulting in serious injury or death. This device also contains an internal battery that can be hazardous if the device is not used or maintained properly. Keep this device and its accessories away from small children.

Proper Device Disposal

This device and its battery should be recycled to avoid harm to the environment. Disposal of your device and the battery inside should be in accordance with all applicable laws. It may be prohibited by law to dispose of this device and its battery with your household trash. Never dispose of your battery in a fire or with other hazardous or flammable materials.

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.

RF Interference

Electronic Devices. Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless device.

Pacemakers. Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15cm is maintained between a tablet and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To ensure this, use the device at the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.

Hearing Aids. Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider (or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives).

Other Medical Devices. If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Health Care Facilities. Turn your device OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Vehicles. RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities. Turn your device OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
