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.

•When the device is turned on for the first time, an initial configuration takes place. The first booting time may be longer than usual.

Read before use

•To purchase optional items, contact the LG Customer Information Centre for available dealers.

•The appearance and specifications of the device are subject to change without notice.

•Do not use LG products for other purposes than those originally intended. Using non-certified apps or software may damage the device and this is not covered by warranty.

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

•The highest SAR value for this model phone tested for use at the ear is 0.950 W/kg (1g) and when worn on the body is 0.604 W/Kg (1g) at 15 mm, which is 100% compliant with Indian Standards and Safe.

•This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position against the ear or when positioned at least 15 mm away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn operation, it should not contain metal and should position the product at least 15 mm 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.
