WWAARR NNIINNGG!!

To reduce the possibility of electric shock, do not expose your phone to high humidity areas, such as the bathroom, swimming pool, etc. Use only LG-approved batteries and travel chargers to avoid the damage to the phone. Using other batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may cause an explosion. Do not use batteries and travel chargers for the other purposes other than their original purpose of using for the phone.

Always store your phone away from heat. Never store your phone in settings that may expose it to temperatures less than -20°C or greater than 50°C, such as outside during a snowstorm or in your car on a hot day. Exposure to excessive cold or heat will result in malfunction, damage and/or catastrophic failure. Use caution when using your phone near other electronic devices. RF emissions from your mobile phone may affect nearby inadequately shielded electronic equipment. You should consult with manufacturers of any personal medical devices such as pacemakers and hearing aids to determine if they are susceptible to interference from your mobile phone. Turn off your phone in a medical facility or at a gas station.

Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will cause the battery to explode.
