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 0.277 W/kg

(10g)andwhenwornonthebodyis1.540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.

6Guidelines for safe and efficient use

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

unnecessarily.

• 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.

your device to extremely low or high temperatures may result in damage, malfunction, or even explosion.

7Guidelines 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.

8Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Wireless devices can cause interference in aircraft.

• Turn your device off before boarding any aircraft.

• Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew.

Children

Keep the device in a safe place out of the reach of small children. It includes small parts which may cause a choking hazard if detached.

Emergency calls

Emergency calls may not be available on all mobile networks. Therefore you should never depend solely on your device for emergency calls. Check with your local service provider.

9Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Battery information and care

• 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.

• 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.
