Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
Please read these simple guidelines. Not
following these guidelines may be dangerous
or illegal.
Exposure to radio frequency
energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR) information.
This mobile phone model LG-E405 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 phone transmitting at
its highest certified power level in all used
frequency bands.
While there may be differences between
•
the SAR levels of various LG phone models,
they are all designed to meet the relevant
guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
9
Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
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
•
phone tested by DASY4 for use at the ear
is 1.060 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 1.5 cm away from the body. When
a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for
body-worn operation, it should not contain
10
metal and should position the product at
least 1.5 cm 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
WARNING
Only use batteries, chargers and
accessories approved for use with this
particular phone model. The use of any
other types may invalidate any approval
or warranty applying to the phone, and
may be dangerous.
Do not disassemble this unit. Take it to a
•
qualified service technician when repair
work is required.
Repairs under warranty, at LG’s option,
•
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 the phone.
•
Do not subject this unit to mechanical
•
vibration or shock.
11
Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
Switch off the phone in any area where
•
you are required by specific regulations.
For example, do not use your phone in
hospitals as it may affect sensitive medical
equipment.
Do not handle the phone with wet hands
•
while it is being charged. It may cause an
electric shock and can seriously damage
your phone.
Do not charge a handset near flammable
•
material as the handset can become hot
and create a fire hazard.
12
•
•
•
•
•
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 phone when it is on soft
furnishings.
The phone should be charged in a well
ventilated area.
Do not subject this unit to excessive smoke
or dust.
Do not keep the phone 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 phone.
Do not expose the phone to liquid or
•
moisture.
Use the 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 phone 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 phone during or immediately after
operation.
13
Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
Efficient phone operation
Electronics devices
All mobile phones may get interference,
which could affect performance.
Do not use your mobile phone near
•
medical equipment without requesting
permission. Avoid placing the phone over
pacemakers, for example, in your breast
pocket.
Some hearing aids might be disturbed by
•
mobile phones.
Minor interference may affect TVs, radios,
•
PCs, etc.
14
Precautions
•
•
•
•
Use a wireless hands-free system
(headphone, headset) with a low power
Bluetooth emitter.
Keep your calls short or send text message
(SMS) instead. This advice applies
especially to children, adolescents and
pregnant women.
Use the cell phone in good quality network
signal.
People having active medical implants
should preferably keep the cell phone at
least 15cms away fromthe implant.
Road safety
Check the laws and regulations on the use
of mobile phones in the area when you drive.
Do not use a hand-held phone 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 particularly
imperative when near roads.
15
Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
Avoid damage to your hearing
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.
16
Glass Parts
Some parts of your mobile device are made
of glass. This glass could break if your
mobile device is dropped on a hard surface
or receives a substantial impact. If the glass
breaks, do not touch or attempt to remove.
Stop using your mobile device until the glass
is replaced by an authorised service provider.
NOTE: Excessive sound pressure from
earphones can cause hearing loss.
Blasting area
Do not use the phone where blasting is in
progress. Observe restrictions, and follow
any regulations or rules.
Potentially explosive
atmospheres
Do not use the phone at a refueling point.
•
Do not use the phone near fuel or chemicals.
•
Do not transport or store flammable
•
gas, liquid, or explosives in the same
compartment of your vehicle as your
mobile phone and accessories.
In aircraft
Wireless devices can cause interference in
aircraft.
Turn your mobile phone off before boarding
•
any aircraft.
Do not use the phone on the ground
•
without permission from the crew.
Children
Keep the phone in a safe place out of the
reach of small children. It includes small
parts which may cause a choking hazard if
detached.
17
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Emergency calls
Emergency calls may not be available
under all mobile networks. Therefore, you
should never depend solely on the phone
for emergency calls. Check with your local
service provider.
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.
18

•
•
•
•
Use only LG batteries and chargers. LG
chargers are designed to maximise the
battery life.
Do not disassemble or short-circuit the
battery pack.
Keep the metal contacts of the battery
pack clean.
Replace the battery when it no longer
provides acceptable performance. The
battery pack maybe recharged hundreds
of times until 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, this may deteriorate the battery
performance.
There is risk of explosion if the battery is
•
replaced by an incorrect type.
