Important Safety Precautions
1. Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as a bathroom.
2. Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene, thinners,
etc.) or detergents to clean your phone. This could cause a fire.
3. Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. It may harm
the internal circuit boards of the phone.
4. Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as the phone may
generate sparks.
5. Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting, pulling, or
heating. Do not use the plug if it is loose as it may cause a fire or electric shock.
6. Do not place any heavy items on the power cord. Do not allow
the power cord to be crimped as it may cause electric shock or fire.
7. Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is being
charged. It may cause an electric shock or seriously damage your phone.
8. Do not disassemble the phone.
9. Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may
short-circuit the phone and/or cause electric shock or fire.
10. Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your body
during a call.
11. Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal’s teeth or
nails, come into contact with the battery. This could cause a fire.
7
Important Safety Precautions
12. Store the battery out of reach of children.
13. Be careful that children do not swallow any parts (such as
rubber, plugs, earphone, connection parts of the phone, etc.).This could cause asphyxiation or suffocation resulting in serious injury or death.
14. Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning storms to
avoid electric shock or fire.
15. Only use the batteries and chargers provided by LG. The
warranty will not be applied to products provided by other suppliers.
16. Only authorized personnel should service the phone and its accessories. Faulty installation or service may result in accidents and consequently invalidate the warranty.
17. Your service provider programs one or more emergency phone
numbers, such as 911, that you can call under any circumstances, even when your phone is locked. Your phone’s preprogrammed emergency number(s) may not work in all locations, and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed due to network, environmental, or interference issues.
18. 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.
