Guidelines for safe and efficient 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-P920
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 ensure 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.
The SAR limit recommended by the International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) is 2W/kg averaged over 10g of tissue.
The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by
DASY4 for use at the ear is 0.368 W/kg (10 g) and
when worn on the body is 0.562 W/kg(10 g).

8
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
SAR data information for residents in countries/
•
regions that have adopted the SAR limit
recommended by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE), which is 1.6 W/kg
averaged over 1g of tissue.
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

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.
•
Road safety
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile
phones in the area when you drive.
•
•
•
•
•
Minor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs, etc.
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.
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 the handset on or off
when 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.
NOTE: Excessive sound pressure from earphones
can cause hearing loss.
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.
