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.

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

Some parts of your device are made of glass. This glass could break if your device is dropped on a hard surface or receives a substantial impact. If the glass breaks, do not touch or attempt to remove it. Stop using your device until the glass is replaced by an authorised service provider.

Blasting area

Do not use the device where blasting is in progress. Observe restrictions and follow any regulations or rules.

Potentially explosive atmospheres

• Do not use your device at a refueling point.

• Do not use near fuel or chemicals.

• Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the same

compartment of your vehicle as your device or accessories.

11Guidelines for safe and efficient use

In aircraft

Wireless devices can cause interference in aircraft.

• Turn your device off before boarding any aircraft.

• Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew.

Children

Keep the device in a safe place out of the reach of small children. It includes small parts which may cause a choking hazard if detached.

Emergency calls

Emergency calls may not be available on all mobile networks. Therefore you should never depend solely on your device for emergency calls. Check with your local service provider for more information.

Use your mobile phone to call emergency services for yourself or others in the case of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies;

• Australia Dial (0-0-0)

• New Zealand Dial (1-1-1)

• International Dial (1-1-2)

• other local emergency number.

usage patterns, battery and environmental conditions.

• Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal’s teeth or nails, come into

contact with the battery. This could cause a fire.

Driver Safety Tips

Your mobile telephone gives you the powerful ability to communicate almost anywhere, anytime, but an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of mobile phones, one that every user must uphold.

When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your mobile phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and remember the following tips:

• Use a hands free device to add an additional layer of convenience and safety

to your wireless phone with one of the many hands free accessories available today.

• Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary,

suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.

• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Typing up a “to

do” list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility of driving safely.

• Place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan

calls when you will not be driving.

13Guidelines for safe and efficient use

• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting.

Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that have the potential to divert your attention from the road.

• Use your mobile phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto

accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call the emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.

• If you see a broken down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic

signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance, local traffic authority or police station.

Securing personal information

• Make sure to protect your personal information to prevent data leakage or

misuse of sensitive information.

• Always back up important data while using the device. LG is not responsible for

any data loss.

• Make sure to back up all data and reset the device when disposing of the device

to prevent any misuse of sensitive information.

• Read the permission screen carefully while downloading applications.

• Be cautious using the applications that have access to multiple functions or to

your personal information.

• Check your personal accounts regularly. If you find any sign of misuse of your

personal information, ask your service provider to delete or change your account information.

• If your device is lost or stolen, change the password of your account to secure

your personal information.

• Do not use applications from unknown sources.

Notice for Battery replacement

• For your safety, do not remove the battery incorporated in the product.

If you need to replace the battery, take it to the nearest authorised LG Electronics service point or dealer for assistance.

• Li-Ion Battery is a hazardous component which can cause injury.

• Battery replacement by non-qualified professional can cause damage

to your device.

• 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 28

• 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.

Tap Settings General Fingerprints & security Fingerprints.

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