• Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

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.
