Guidelines for safe and efcient 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 mobile phone model LG-X190 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2W/kgaveragedover10g

of tissue.

•

The highest SAR value for this model phone tested for use at the ear

is0.568W/kg(10g)andwhenwornonthebodyis0.641W/Kg

(10g).

6

•

This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the

normal use position against the ear or when positioned at least

1.5 cm 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 1.5 cm 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.

Product care and maintenance

•

Always use genuine LG 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.

•

Some contents and illustrations may differ from your device without

prior notice.

•

Do not disassemble this unit. Take it to a qualified service technician

when repair work is required.

•

Repairs under warranty, at LG's discretion, 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 to 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.

7

•

Do not charge a handset near flammable material as the handset can

become hot and create a fire hazard.

•

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 accessories like earphones cautiously. Do not touch the antenna

unnecessarily.

•

Do not use, touch or attempt to remove or fix broken, chipped or

cracked glass. Damage to the glass display due to abuse or misuse is

not covered under the warranty.

•

Your phone is an electronic device that generates heat during normal

operation. Extremely prolonged, direct skin contact in the absence

of adequate ventilation may result in discomfort or minor burns.

Therefore, use care when handling your phone during or immediately

after operation.

•

If your phone gets wet, immediately unplug it to dry off completely.

Do not attempt to accelerate the drying process with an external

heating source, such as an oven, microwave or hair dryer.

•

The liquid in your wet phone, changes the colour of the product label

inside your phone. Damage to your device as a result of exposure to

liquid is not covered under your warranty.

8

Efficient phone operation

Electronics devices

All mobile phones may receive 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.

•

Useyourphoneintemperaturesbetween0ºCand40ºC,ifpossible.

Exposing your phone to extremely low or high temperatures may

result in damage, malfunction, or even explosion.

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 of particular importance when near roads.

9

Avoid damage to your hearing

To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume

levels for long periods.

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.

•

When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear

the people speaking near you, or if the person sitting next to you can

hear what you are listening to.

NOTE

•

Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing

loss.

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 it. 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 your 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 or

accessories.

10

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 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 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 life.

•

Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.

•

Keep the metal contacts of the battery clean.

•

Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable

performance. The battery pack may be recharged hundreds of times

before 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, as this may deteriorate

battery performance.

•

Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of

used batteries according to the instructions.

11

•

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 life will depend on network configuration, product

settings, 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.
