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.

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.

Guidelines 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

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential

installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Fingerprint recognition

Fingerprint recognition overview

You must register your fingerprint on your device first before using the fingerprint recognition function.

You can use the fingerprint recognition function in the following cases:

•To unlock the screen.

•To view the locked content in the Gallery or QuickMemo+.

•Confirm a purchase by signing in to an app or identifying yourself with your fingerprint.

• Your fingerprint can be used by the device for user identification. Very similar fingerprints from different users may be recognised by the fingerprint sensor as the same fingerprint.

Precautions for fingerprint recognition

Fingerprint recognition accuracy may decrease due to a number of reasons. To maximise the recognition accuracy, check the following before using the device.

•The device’s Power/Lock key has a fingerprint sensor. Ensure that the Power/Lock key is not damaged by a metallic object, such as coin or key.

•When water, dust or other foreign substance is on the Power/Lock key or your finger, the fingerprint registration or recognition may not work. Clean and dry your finger before having the fingerprint recognised.

•A fingerprint may not be recognised properly if the surface of your finger has a scar or is not smooth due to being soaked in water.

•If you bend your finger or use the fingertip only, your fingerprint may not be recognised. Make sure that your finger covers the entire surface of the Power/Lock key.

Custom-designed Features

•Scan only one finger for each registration. Scanning more than one finger may affect fingerprint registration and recognition.

•The device may generate static electricity if the surrounding air is dry. If the surrounding air is dry, avoid scanning fingerprints, or touch a metallic object such as coin or key before scanning fingerprints to remove static electricity.

Registering fingerprints

You can register and save your fingerprint on the device to use fingerprint identification.

1 Tap Settings General Fingerprints & security Fingerprints.

• A lock screen must be set in order to be able to use this feature.

•If the screen lock is not active, configure the lock screen by following the on-screen instructions. See Setting a screen lock for details.

2Locate the Power/Lock key on the back of the device and gently put your finger on it to register the fingerprint.

• Gently press the Power/Lock key so that the sensor can recognise your fingerprint. If you press the Power/Lock key with an excessive force, the screen lock function may start or the screen may be turned off.

•Ensure that your fingertip covers the entire surface of the sensor of the Power/Lock key.

Custom-designed Features

3Follow the on-screen instructions.

•Repeat scanning the fingerprint by moving your finger little by little until the fingerprint registers.

4When the fingerprint registration is done, tap OK.

•Tap ADD MORE to register another fingerprint. If you register only one fingerprint and the corresponding finger is not in a good condition, the fingerprint recognition may not work well. As the preventive measure against this kind of situation, register multiple fingerprints.

Managing fingerprints

You can edit or delete registered fingerprints.
