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.
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)is2 W/kgaveragedover10 goftissue.
•The highest SAR value for this model tested for use at the ear is 0.482 W/kg
(10 g)andwhenwornonthebodyis1.587W/kg(10 g).
•This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use positionagainsttheearorwhenpositionedatleast5mmawayfromthebody.
When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn operation, it should notcontainmetalandshouldpositiontheproductatleast5mmawayfrom 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.

•Do not use, touch or attempt to remove or fix broken, chipped or cracked glass. Damage to the glass display due to abuse or misuse is not covered under the warranty.
•Your device is an electronic device that generates heat during normal operation. Extremely prolonged, direct skin contact in the absence of adequate ventilation may result in discomfort or minor burns. Therefore, use care when handling your device during or immediately after operation.
•If your device gets wet, immediately unplug it to dry off completely. Do not attempt to accelerate the drying process with an external heating source, such as an oven, microwave or hair dryer.
•The liquid in your wet device, changes the colour of the product label inside your device. Damage to your device as a result of exposure to liquid is not covered under your warranty.
•A mobile device requires proper air circulation in order to dissipate heat. Direct skin contact and inadequate circulation of air flow to the device may cause the device to overheat. The device must be at least 1.0cm from between the user’s body.
•Prevent dust of any other foreign substances from getting into the Charger/ USB cable port. It may cause heat or fire.
•Avoid exposing the device to low air pressure at high altitude.
•Do not expose the device to extremely low air pressure. Otherwise, it can cause explosion of the battery or leakage of flammable liquid or gas.

Avoid damage to your hearing
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods.
Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed to loud sound for long periods of time. We therefore recommend that you do not turn on or off the handset close to your ear. We also recommend that music and call volumes are set to a reasonable level.
•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.
• Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.

Driver Safety Tips
Your mobile telephone gives you the powerful ability to communicate almost anywhere, anytime, but an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of mobile phones, one that every user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your mobile phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and remember the following tips:
•Use a hands free device to add an additional layer of convenience and safety to your wireless phone.
•Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
•Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Typing up a “to do” list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility of driving safely.
•Place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when you will not be driving.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use |
12 |
•Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that have the potential to divert your attention from the road.
•Use your mobile phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call the emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.
•If you see a broken down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance, local traffic authority or police station.
Securing personal information
•Make sure to protect your personal information to prevent data leakage or misuse of sensitive information.
•Always back up important data while using the device. LG is not responsible for any data loss.
•Make sure to back up all data and reset the device when disposing of the device to prevent any misuse of sensitive information.
•Read the permission screen carefully while downloading applications.
•Be cautious using the applications that have access to multiple functions or to your personal information.
•Check your personal accounts regularly. If you find any sign of misuse of your personal information, ask your service provider to delete or change your account information.
•If your device is lost or stolen, change the password of your account to secure your personal information.
•Do not use applications from unknown sources.
