switch off your phone on aircraft. Mobile phone
signals can interfere with aircraft equipment.
Follow the instructions given by airline staff at all
times
Emergency Services and Safety Precautions
Hospital safety
Switch off your phone in areas where the use of
handsets is prohibited. Follow the instructions
given by the respective medical facility regarding
the use of handsets on their premises
General safety
A Observe ‘Turn off 2-way radio’ signs, such as
those near petrol stations, chemicals or
explosives, and turn off your handset

your vehicle at all times. Give your full
attention to driving

advise if it is adequately shielded from radio
transmissions. Consult your dealer and do
not switch on the handset until it has been
checked by qualified installers
Vehicles equipped with an air bag
An air bag inflates with great force. Do not place
objects, including either installed or portable
wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag
or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle
wireless equipment is improperly installed and
the air bag inflates, serious injury could result
Third party equipment
The use of third party equipment, cables or
accessories, not made or authorized by LG,

12
Service
The handset, batteries and charger contain no
user-serviceable parts. LG recommend that
your LG U8180 handset is serviced or repaired
by an LG authorized service centre
Efficient use
The handset has an antenna. For optimum
performance with minimum power consumption,
please do not cover the antenna area with your
hand. Covering the antenna affects call quality
and may cause the handset to operate at a
higher power level than required. This decreases
talk and standby time.
Radio frequency energy
Your handset is a low-power radio transmitter
and receiver. When it is turned on, it receives
and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio
waves). The system that handles the call (the
network) controls the power level at which the
handset transmits.
A Further detailed information is given in this
manual.
Emergency Services and Safety Precautions
Exposure to radio frequency
energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) information
A This handset model U8180 has been
designed to comply with safety, requirements
for exposure to radio waves. This
requirement is based on scientific guidelines
that include safety margins designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of
age and health
A The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a
unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are
conducted using a standardized method with
the phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all used frequency bands
A 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
A The SAR limit recommended by the
International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), is 2W/kg
averaged over ten (10) gramme of tissue
A The highest SAR value for this model phone
tested by DASY3 for use at the ear is 0.962
W/kg (10g)
A The SAR limit recommended by the Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE),
which is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one (1)
gramme of tissue (for example USA, Canada,
Australia and Taiwan).
