latest digital mobile communication technology.

This user’s guide contains important information on the use and operation of this phone. Please read all the

information carefully for optimal performance and to prevent any damage to or misuse of the phone. Any changes

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

L342i User guide 5

Please read these simple guidelines. Not following

these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal. Further

detailed information is given in this manual.

Exposure to radio frequency energy

Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate

(SAR) information

This mobile phone model L342i has been designed to

comply with applicable 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.

•

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 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-Ionizing Radiation Protection

(ICNIRP) is 2W/kg averaged over ten (10) gram of

tissue.

• The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by

DASY3 for use at the ear is 0.975 W/kg (10g).

• SAR data information for residents in countries/

regions that have adopted the SAR limit

recommended by the Institute of Electrical and

Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is 1.6 W/kg averaged

over one (1) gram of tissue (for example USA,

Canada, Australia and Taiwan).

Product care and maintenance

WARNING! Only use batteries, chargers and

accessories approved for use with this particular

phone model. The use of any other types may

invalidate any approval or warranty applying to the

phone, and may be dangerous.

• Do not disassemble this unit. Take it to a qualified

service technician when repair work is required.

• Keep away from electrical appliances such as a TV's,

radios or personal computers.

• The unit should be kept away from heat sources such

as radiators or cookers.

• Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it

will cause the battery to explode.

• Do not drop.

• Do not subject this unit to mechanical vibration or

shock.

• The coating of the phone may be damaged if covered

with wrap or vinyl wrapper.

• Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol,

benzene, thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean your

phone. There is a risk of this causing a fire.

• Do not subject this unit to excessive smoke or dust.

• Do not keep the phone next to credit cards or

transport tickets; it can affect the information on the

magnetic strips.

• Do not tap the screen with a sharp object as it may

damage the phone.

• Do not expose the phone to liquid or moisture.

• Use accessories, such as earphones and headsets,

with caution. Ensure that cables are tucked away

safely and do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.

• Please remove the data cable before powering on the

handset.

Efficient phone operation

To enjoy optimum performance with minimum power

consumption please:

• Do not hold the antenna when the phone is in use.

If you hold it, it can affect call quality, it may also

cause the phone to operate at a higher power level

than needed and shorten talk and standby times.

Electronic devices

All mobile phones may get interference, which could

affect performance.

•

Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment

without requesting permission. Avoid placing the

phone over pacemakers (i.e. in your breast pocket.)

• Some hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile

phones.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

6 L342i User guide

Road safety

Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile

phones in the areas when you drive.

• Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.

• Give full attention to driving.

• Use a hands-free kit, if available.

• Pull off the road and park before making or

answering a call if driving conditions so require.

• RF energy may affect some electronic systems in

your motor vehicle such as a car stereo or safety

equipment.

• If your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do not

obstruct it with installed or portable wireless

equipment. It can cause serious injury due to

improper performance.

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.

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.

Do not use the phone where blasting is in progress.

Observe restrictions, and follow any regulations or

rules.

near fuel or chemicals.

explosives in the compartment of your vehicle, which

contains your mobile phone and accessories.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

L342i User guide 7

• Turn off your mobile phone before boarding any

aircraft.

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

Children

Keep the phone in a safe place out of small children's

reach. It includes small parts which if detached may

cause a choking hazard.

Emergency calls

Emergency calls may not be available under all mobile

networks. Therefore, you should never depend solely

on your mobile phone for emergency calls. Check with

your local service provider.

Battery information and care

acceptable performance. The battery pack may be

recharged hundreds of times until it needs replacing.

time to maximize usability.

• Do not expose the battery charger to direct sunlight

or use it in high humidity, such as the bathroom.
