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
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.

7Guidelines for safe and efficient use
• 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.

Electronics devices
All devices may receive interference, which could affect performance.
• Do not use your device near medical equipment without requesting permission.
Please consult your doctor to determine if operation of your device may
interfere with the operation of your medical device.
your device to extremely low or high temperatures may result in damage,
malfunction, or even explosion.
Road safety
Check the laws and regulations on the use of devices in the area when you drive.
• Do not use a hand-held device while driving.
• Give full attention to driving.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions
so require.

• When your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do not obstruct with installed
or portable wireless equipment. It can cause the air bag to fail or cause serious
injury due to improper performance.
• If you are listening to music whilst out and about, please ensure that the volume
is at a reasonable level so that you are aware of your surroundings. This is of
particular importance when near roads.
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.

usage patterns, battery and environmental conditions.
• Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal’s teeth or claws, come
into contact with the battery. This could cause a fire.
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.
12Guidelines for safe and efficient use
• 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.
