Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Read t hese simple guidelines. Breaking the rules may
be dangerous or illegal. Further detailed information is
given in this manual.

Exposure to radio frequency energy

Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR) information

This mobile phone model M4300 has been designed to
comply with applicable safety requirement for expo­sure to radio waves.
This requirement is based on scientific guidelines that
include safety margins designed to assure this 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 standardized
method with the phone transmitting at its highest cer­tified power level in all used frequency bands.

• While there may be differences between the SAR lev

els of various LG phone 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), which is 2W/kg
averaged over ten (10) gram of tissue.

• The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by
DASY4 for use at the ear is

• SAR data information for residents in countries/
regions that have adopted the SAR limit recom
mended by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE), which is 1.6 W/kg averaged over
one (1) gram of tissue (for example USA, Canada,
Australia and Taiwan).
