Product Authentication program
Dear Customers,
To protect all LG customers from counterfeit and grey market products and
make sure that you receive official warranty service, LG is now running a
product authentication program. To make sure your handset is a genuine
product of LG, ONLY one SMS containing the IMEI No. of your purchased
handset will be automatically sent to LG on the date of purchase. LG will bear
the cost of one SMS for the product authentication program. For promotion, you
will receive one additional month of warranty for free. One additional month of
warranty covers only mobile phone, not batteries and accessories. Once your
phone is authenticated, you will receive the message ‘Your handset is a genuine
LG product.’ The IMEI No. sent to LG guarantees your handset to be free from
manufacturing defects during the warranty period from the date of purchase
without proof of purchase or warranty card.

Please read these simple
guidelines. Not following these
guidelines may be dangerous
or illegal.
Exposure to radio
frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) information.
This mobile phone model LG-
C660 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 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 10g of tissue.
The highest SAR value for this
model phone tested by DASY4
for use at the ear is 1.28 W/kg
(10 g) and when worn on the
body is 1.12 W/kg(10 g).
SAR data information for
residents in countries/regions
that have adopted the SAR limit
recommended by the Institute
of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE), which is 1.6
W/kg averaged over 1g of
tissue.
Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
7
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.
Repairs under warranty, at
LG’s option, may include
replacement parts or boards
that are either new or
reconditioned, provided that
they have functionality equal
to that of the parts being
replaced.
Keep away from electrical
appliances such as TVs,
radios, and personal
computers.
The unit should be kept away
from heat sources such as
radiators or cookers.
Do not drop.
Do not subject this unit to
mechanical vibration or shock.
Switch off the phone in any
area where you are required
by special regulations. For
example, do not use your
phone in hospitals as it may
affect sensitive medical
equipment.
Do not handle the phone
with wet hands while it is
being charged. It may cause
an electric shock and can
seriously damage your phone.
Do not charge a handset near
flammable material as the
handset can become hot and
create a fire hazard.
8
Use a dry cloth to clean the
exterior of the unit (do not use
solvents such as benzene,
thinner or alcohol).
Do not charge the phone
when it is on soft furnishings.
The phone should be charged
in a well ventilated area.
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 the accessories like
earphones cautiously. Do
not touch the antenna
unnecessarily.
Do not use your device for a
long period of time with any
part of your body in direct
contact with it. During normal
operation, the temperature
of the product may increase,
which may cause your skin to
be harmed or burnt.
Efficient phone operation
Electronics 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,
for example, in your breast
pocket.
Some hearing aids might be
disturbed by mobile phones.
Minor interference may affect
TVs, radios, PCs, etc.
Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
9
Road safety
Check the laws and regulations
on the use of mobile phones in
the area when you drive.
Do not use a hand-held
phone while driving.
Give full attention to driving.
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
vehicle such as car stereos
and safety equipment.
When your vehicle is
equipped with an air bag, do
not obstruct with installed or
portable wireless equipment.
It can cause the air bag to fail
or 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
near roads.
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.
NOTE:
Excessive sound
pressure from earphones can
cause hearing loss.
10
Glass Parts
Some parts of your mobile
device are made of glass. This
glass could break if your mobile
device is dropped on a hard
surface or receives a substantial
impact. If the glass breaks, do
not touch or attempt to remove.
Stop using your mobile device
until the glass is replaced by an
authorised service provider.
Blasting area
Do not use the phone where
blasting is in progress. Observe
restrictions, and follow any
regulations or rules.
Potentially explosive
atmospheres
Do not use the phone 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 mobile phone and
accessories.
In aircraft
Wireless devices can cause
interference in aircraft.
Turn your mobile phone off
before boarding any aircraft.
Do not use it on the ground
without permission from the
crew.
Children
Keep the phone in a safe place
out of reach of small children.
It includes small parts which
may cause a choking hazard if
detached.
Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
11
Emergency calls
Emergency calls may not be
available under all mobile
networks. Therefore, you should
never depend solely on the
phone for emergency calls.
Check with your local service
provider.
Battery information and
care
You do not need to completely
discharge the battery before
recharging. Unlike other
battery systems, there is no
memory effect that could
compromise the battery’s
performance.
Use only LG batteries and
chargers. LG chargers are
designed to maximise the
battery’s life.
Do not disassemble or short-
circuit the battery pack.
Keep the metal contacts of
the battery pack clean.
Replace the battery when it
no longer provides acceptable
performance. The battery
pack maybe recharged
hundreds of times until it
needs replacing.
Recharge the battery if it has
not been used for a long time
to maximise usability.
Do not expose the battery
charger to direct sunlight or
use it in high humidity, such
as in the bathroom.
Do not leave the battery in
hot or cold places, this may
deteriorate the battery’s
performance.
There is risk of explosion if
the battery is replaced by an
incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries
according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Please recycle when possible.
Do not dispose as household
waste.
12
If you need to replace the
battery, take it to the nearest
authorised LG Electronics
service point or dealer for
assistance.
Always unplug the charger
from the wall socket after
the phone is fully charged
to save unnecessary power
consumption of the charger.
Actual battery’s life will
depend on network
configuration, product
settings, usage patterns,
battery and environmental
conditions.
