Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal.

Should a fault occur, a software tool is built into your device that will gather a fault log. This tool gathers only data specific to the fault, such as signal strength, cell ID position in sudden call drop and applications loaded. The log is used only to help determine the cause of the fault. These logs are encrypted and can only be accessed by an authorised LG Repair centre should you need to return your device for repair.

Exposure to radio frequency energy

Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information. This device 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 assure 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 device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used frequency bands.

• While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various LG device

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2W/kgaveragedover10goftissue.

• The highest SAR value for this model tested for use at the ear is 0.479 W/kg

(10g)andwhenwornonthebodyis1.230W/kg(10g).

• This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use

position against the ear or when positioned at least 5 mm away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn operation, it should not contain metal and should position the product at least 5 mm away from your body. In order to transmit data files or messages, this device requires a quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure the above separation distance instructions are followed until the transmission is completed.

Information about the RF exposure from FCC

In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both international and U.S. standards. The design of this device complies with FCC guidelines and these international standards.

Part 15.19 statement

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that

6Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical bodyworn operations with the back of the device kept 0.39 inches (1cm) between the user’s body and the back of the device. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of

0.39 inches (1cm) must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of the device.

Any beltclips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components may not be used. Body-worn accessories that cannot maintain 0.39 inches (1cm) separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the device, and have not been tested for typical body-worn operations may not comply with FCC RF exposure limits and should be avoided.

Part 15.105 Statement
