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

•The highest SAR value for this model tested for use at the ear is 0.763 W/kg (10 g) and when worn on the body is 1.430 W/kg (10 g).

•This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position against the ear or when positioned at least 5 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 5 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.

Product care and maintenance

•Use only in-box accessories which are authorised by LG. LG does not guarantee any damage or failure which is caused by third party accessories.

•Some contents and illustrations may differ from your device without prior notice.

•Do not disassemble this unit. Take it to a qualified service technician when repair work is required.

•Repairs under warranty, at LG’s discretion, may include replacement parts or boards that are either new or reconditioned, provided that they have functionality equal to that of the parts being replaced.

•Keep away from electrical appliances such as TVs, radios and personal computers.

•The unit should be kept away from heat sources such as radiators or cookers.

•Do not drop.

•Do not subject this unit to mechanical vibration or shock.

•Switch off the device in any area where you are required to by special regulations. For example, do not use your device in hospitals as it may affect sensitive medical equipment.

•Do not handle the device with wet hands while it is being charged. It may cause an electric shock and can seriously damage your device.

•Do not charge a handset near flammable material as the handset can become hot and create a fire hazard.

•Use a dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit (do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner or alcohol).

•Do not charge the device when it is on soft furnishings.

•The device should be charged in a well ventilated area.

•Do not subject this unit to excessive smoke or dust.

•Do not keep the device next to credit cards or transport tickets; it can affect the information on the magnetic strips.

•Do not tap the screen with a sharp object as it may damage the device.

•Do not expose the device to liquid or moisture.

•Use accessories like earphones cautiously. Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.

Guidelines 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.

•Please ensure that the product does not get in contact with liquid. Do not use or recharge the product if it is wet. Once the product becomes wet, the liquid damage indicator changes color. Please note that this will limit you from receiving any free-of-charge repair services provided under warranty.

Efficient device operation

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.

•Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that you leave at least 15 cm of space between other devices and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.

•This device may produce a bright or flashing light.

•Some hearing aids might be disturbed by devices.

•Minor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs etc.

•Use your device in temperatures between 0 ºC and 40 ºC, if possible. Exposing your device to extremely low or high temperatures may result in damage, malfunction, or even explosion.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

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.

•RF energy may affect some electronic systems in your vehicle such as car stereos and safety equipment.

•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.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

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 with one of the many hands free accessories available today.

•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.

•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.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

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.
