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/

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.
• 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.
13Guidelines 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.

You can use the fingerprint recognition function in the following cases:
• To unlock the screen.
• To view the locked content in the QuickMemo+.
• Confirm a purchase by signing into an app or identifying yourself with
your fingerprint.
• You can use fingerprint data for user authentication. There is a
possibility that the fingerprint sensor might recognise a different but
very similar fingerprint as the same registered fingerprint. To strengthen
security, it is recommended that you use the pattern, PIN, or password
method for unlocking the screen.
• 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 Features20
Precautions for fingerprint recognition
Fingerprint recognition accuracy may decrease due to a number of
reasons. To maximise the recognition accuracy, check the following before
using the device.
• The device has a fingerprint sensor. 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
recognised.
• A fingerprint may not be recognised 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 recognised. 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.
