Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Read these simple guidelines. Breaking the rules may be dangerous or illegal.
Further detailed information is given in this manual.
Emergency Services and Safety Precautions
Do not allow battery to come into direct contact with an electric outlet or car
cigarette lighter socket
Do not pierce battery with sharp objects
Do not drop or subject the phone to physical shock
When the battery has reached the end of its life, dispose of it in accordance
with local environmental regulations. Do not dispose of your battery in
household rubbish.
Do not immerse in water
Do not disassemble or modify the battery
Stop using the battery if abnormal heat, odour, discolouration, deformation, or
abnormal conditions are detected during use, charge, or storage
Do not use damaged or deformed batteries. In the unlikely event of a battery
leak, take care to keep the battery discharge away from your eyes or skin.
If the leakage does come into contact with the eyes or skin, please wash
thoroughly in clean water and consult with a doctor
The earpiece may become warm during normal use. The handset itself may
become warm while the battery is being charged
14
Use a damp or anti-static cloth to clean the handset. Do not use a dry cloth or
electrostatically charged cloth. Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners as
these could damage the phone
Retain the cardboard packing supplied with this handset. It should be used if
the phone has to be returned for service. This packaging can be recycled when
no longer required
Remember to make backup copies of all important data on your handset
Use accessories, such as earphones and headsets, with caution. Ensure that
cables are tucked away safely and do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.
Aircraft safety
In accordance with CAA regulations, you must switch off your phone on aircraft.
Mobile phone signals can interfere with aircraft equipment. Follow the
instructions given by airline staff at all times
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
15
Emergency Services and Safety Precautions
General safety
Observe ‘Turn off 2-way radio’ signs, such as those near petrol stations,
chemicals or explosives, and turn off your handset
Do not allow children to play with the handset, charger or batteries
Do not use the handset where blasting is in progress
The operation of some medical electronic devices, such as hearing aids and
pacemakers, may be affected if a handset is used next to them. Observe any
warning signs and the manufacturer’s recommendations
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.
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 attempting to cross the street.
16
Road safety
You MUST exercise the proper control of your vehicle at all times. Give your
full attention to driving
Observe all laws in respect to the use of mobile phones when driving
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call where it is safe to
do so. UK law prohibits the use of hand held mobile phones when driving
You MUST NOT stop on the hard shoulder of a motorway to answer or make
a call, except in an emergency
Switch off your handset at refueling points and petrol stations, even if you are
not refueling your own car
Do not store or carry flammable or explosive materials near your handset
Electronic vehicle systems, such as anti-lock brakes, speed control and fuel
injection systems are not normally affected by radio transmissions
The manufacturers of such equipment can 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
17
Emergency Services and Safety Precautions
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 authorised
by LG, may invalidate the warranty of your handset and also adversely affect the
handset’s safety or operation
Service
The handset, batteries and charger contain no user-serviceable parts. LG
recommend that your LG U970 handset is serviced or repaired by an LG
authorised service centre
18
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.
Further detailed information is given in this manual.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
information
This handset model U970 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
19
Emergency Services and Safety Precautions
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
standardised method 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 ionising
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), is 2W/kg averaged over ten (10) gramme of
tissue
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is
0.756 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
0.327 W/kg (body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there
may be differences between SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
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).
