• If the device cannot detect your fingerprint, or you forgot the value

specified for registration, visit the nearest LG Customer Service Centre with your device and ID card.

Custom-designed Features 11

Precautions for fingerprint recognition

Fingerprint recognition accuracy may decrease due to a number of reasons. To maximize the recognition accuracy, check the following before using the device.

• Ensure that the fingerprint sensor is not damaged by a metallic object,

such as coin or key.

• When water, dust or other foreign substance is on the fingerprint

sensor or your finger, the fingerprint registration or recognition may not work. Clean and dry your finger before having the fingerprint recognized.

• A fingerprint may not be recognized properly if the surface of your

finger has a scar or is not smooth due to being soaked in water.

• If you bend your finger or use the fingertip only, your fingerprint may

not be recognized. Make sure that your finger covers the entire surface of the fingerprint sensor.

• Scan only one finger for each registration. Scanning more than one

finger may affect fingerprint registration and recognition.

• The device may generate static electricity if the surrounding air is

dry. If the surrounding air is dry, avoid scanning fingerprints, or touch a metallic object such as coin or key before scanning fingerprints to remove static electricity.

Registering fingerprints

You can register and save your fingerprint on the device to use fingerprint identification.

Tap and swipe up on the Home screen.

Tap Settings Security & location Fingerprint.

• Tap Add fingerprint to register another fingerprint. If you register

only one fingerprint and the corresponding finger is not in a good condition, the fingerprint recognition may not work well. As the preventive measure against this kind of situation, register multiple fingerprints.

Anti-Theft Guide

Set up your device to prevent other people from using it if it's been reset to factory settings without your permission. For example, if your device is lost, stolen, or wiped, only someone with your Google Account or screen lock information can use the device.

All you need to make sure your device is protected is:

• Set a screen lock: If your device is lost or stolen but you have a screen

lock set, the device can't be erased using the Settings menu unless your screen is unlocked.

• Add your Google Account on your device: If your device is wiped but

you have your Google Account on it, the device can't finish the setup process until your Google Account information is entered again.

After your device is protected, you'll need to either unlock your screen or enter your Google Account password if you need to do a factory reset. This ensures that you or someone you trust is doing the reset.

• Do not forget your Google Account and password you had added to

your device prior to performing a factory reset. If you can't provide the account information during the setup process, you won't be able to use the device at all after performing the factory reset.

For Your Safety

Important Information

This user guide contains important information on the use and operation of this phone. Please read all the information carefully for optimal performance and to prevent any damage to or misuse of the phone. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this user guide could void your warranty for this equipment.

Before You Start

Safety Instructions

• To reduce the possibility of electric shock, do not expose your phone to

high humidity areas, such as the bathroom, swimming pool, etc.

Always store your phone away from heat. Never store your phone in settings that may expose it to temperatures less than 32°F (0°C) or greater than 95°F (35°C), such as outside during extreme weather conditions or in your car on a hot day. Exposure to excessive cold or heat will result in malfunction, damage and/or catastrophic failure.

Be careful when using your phone near other electronic devices. RF emissions from your mobile phone may affect nearby in adequately shielded electronic equipment. You should consult with manufacturers of any personal medical devices such as pacemakers and hearing aides to determine if they are susceptible to interference from your mobile phone. Turn off your phone in a medical facility or at a gas station. Never place your phone in a microwave oven as this will cause the battery to explode.

For Your Safety 96

Safety Information

Read these simple guidelines. Breaking the rules may be dangerous or illegal. Further detailed information is given in this user guide.

• Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will cause the battery to

explode.

• Your phone contains an internal battery. Do not dispose of your battery by fire

or with hazardous or flammable materials.

• Make sure that no sharpedged items come into contact with the battery. There

is a risk of this causing a fire.

• Be careful that children do not swallow any parts such as rubber plugs

(earphone, connection parts of the phone, etc.). This could cause asphyxiation or suffocation.

• Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning storms to avoid electric

shock or fire.

• When riding in a car, do not leave your phone or set up the hands-free kit near

to the air bag. If wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag is activated, you may be seriously injured.

• Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.

• Do not use the phone in areas where its use is prohibited. (For example: aircraft).

• Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct sunlight or use it in

places with high humidity, such as a bathroom.

• Never store your phone in temperatures less than -4°F (-20°C) or greater than

122°F (50°C).

• Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene, thinners, etc.) or

detergents to clean your phone. There is a risk of this causing a fire.

• Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. Such actions may harm the

internal circuit boards of the phone.

For Your Safety 97

• Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as the phone may generate

sparks.

• Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting, pulling, or heating.

• Do not use the plug if it is loose as it may cause a fire or electric shock.

• Do not place any heavy items on the power cord. Do not allow the power cord

to be crimped as it may cause fire or electric shock.

• Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is being charged. It may cause

an electric shock or seriously damage your phone.

• Do not disassemble the phone.

• Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may short-circuit

the phone and/or cause electric shock or fire.

• Only use the batteries, antennas, and chargers provided by LG. The warranty will

not be applied to products provided by other suppliers.

• Only authorized personnel should service the phone and its accessories. Faulty

installation or service may result in accidents and consequently invalidate the warranty.

• Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your body during a call.

• An emergency call can be made only within a service area. For an emergency

call, make sure that you are within a service area and that the phone is turned on.

• Use accessories, such as earphones and headsets, with caution. Ensure that

cables are tucked away safely and do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.

• 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 1.0 cm 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.

For Your Safety 98

FCC RF Exposure Information

• Read this information before operating the phone.

In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies.

The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 1 cm (0.39 inches) between the user’s body and the back of the phone. To comply with FCC/ISEDC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 1 cm (0.39 inches) must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of the phone. Any belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components may not be used. Body-worn accessories that cannot maintain 1 cm (0.39 inches) separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone, and have not been tested for typical bodyworn operations may not comply with FCC/ISEDC RF exposure limits and should be avoided.

FCC Part 15 Class B Compliance

This device complies with part 15 of FCC rules and ISEDC licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause

undesired operation of the device.
