Guidelines for safe and efficient
use
Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be
dangerous or illegal.
Should a fault occur, a software tool is built into your device that will gather a
fault log. This tool gathers only data specific to the fault, such as signal strength,
cell ID position in sudden call drop and applications loaded. The log is used only to
help determine the cause of the fault. These logs are encrypted and can only be
accessed by an authorised LG Repair centre should you need to return your device
for repair.
Important information about the device
• Device apps and services are subject to change or cancellation without notice,
depending on the provider’s situation and the software version.

Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information.
This device 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 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
standardised methods with the device transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all used frequency bands.
• While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various LG device
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
RadiationProtection(ICNIRP)is2W/kgaveragedover10goftissue.
• The highest SAR value for this model tested for use at the ear is
0.965W/kg(1g)andwhenwornonthebodyis0.638W/Kg(1g)at15mm,
which is 100% compliant with Indian Standards and Safe.
• This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use
positionagainsttheearorwhenpositionedatleast15mmawayfromthe
body. When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn operation,
itshouldnotcontainmetalandshouldpositiontheproductatleast15mm
away from your body. In order to transmit data files or messages, this device
requires a quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of
data files or messages may be delayed until such a connection is available.
Ensure the above separation distance instructions are followed until the
transmission is completed.
