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.

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 0.342 W/kg

(10g)andwhenwornonthebodyis1.050W/kg(10g).

• This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use

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.

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.

6Guidelines 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.

• 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.

• Australia Dial (0-0-0)

• New Zealand Dial (1-1-1)

• International Dial (1-1-2)

• other local emergency number.

Remember, it is a free call when dialling emergency services from your mobile phone in Australia.

• For your safety, do not remove the battery incorporated in the product.

If you need to replace the battery, take it to the nearest authorised LG Electronics service point or dealer for assistance.

• Li-Ion Battery is a hazardous component which can cause injury.

• Battery replacement by non-qualified professional can cause damage

to your device.

Battery information and care

• You do not need to completely discharge the battery before recharging. Unlike

other battery systems, there is no memory effect that could compromise the battery’s performance.

• Use only LG batteries and chargers. LG chargers are designed to maximise the

battery life.

• Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.

• Keep the metal contacts of the battery clean.

• Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. The

battery pack may be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing.

• Recharge the battery if it has not been used for a long time to maximise

usability.

10Guidelines for safe and efficient use

• Do not expose the battery charger to direct sunlight or use it in high humidity,

such as in the bathroom.

• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, as this may deteriorate battery

performance.

• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used

batteries according to the instructions.

• If you need to replace the battery, take it to the nearest authorised LG

Electronics service point or dealer for assistance.

• Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the device is fully charged

to save unnecessary power consumption of the charger.

• Actual battery life will depend on network configuration, product settings,

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 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.

11Guidelines 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.

Fingerprint recognition

Fingerprint recognition overview

You must register your fingerprint on your device first before using the fingerprint recognition function.

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 in to an app or identifying yourself with

your fingerprint.

• Your fingerprint can be used by the device for user identification. Very

similar fingerprints from different users may be recognised by the fingerprint sensor as the same fingerprint.

• 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.

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.

Custom-designed Features 23

• 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.

Registering fingerprints

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

Tap Settings General Lock screen & security Fingerprints.
