User Guide6
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 GR500f
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 0.625 W/kg (10g)
and when worn on the body is
0.559 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), which is 1.6 W/kg averaged
over 1g of tissue.

Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless telephone gives you
the powerful ability to communicate
by voice - almost anywhere,
anytime. But an important
responsibility accompanies the
benefits of wireless phones, one
that every user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your
first responsibility. When using your
wireless phone behind the wheel of
a car, practice good common sense
and remember the following tips:
Use a hands free device. If
possible, 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.
Use your wireless phone to call
emergency services for yourself
or others. In the case of fire, traffic
accident or medical emergencies;
13
• Australia: Dial 0-0-0,
• New Zealand: Dial 1-1-1,
• International: Dial 1-1-2,
• other local emergency number.
Remember, it is a free call on your
wireless phone for emergency
services.
Use your wireless 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.
Do not take notes or look up
phone numbers while driving.
Jotting down a “to do” list or
flipping through your address
book takes attention away from
your primary responsibility, driving
safely.
If possible, place calls when you
are not moving or before pulling
into traffic. Try to plan calls when
you will not be driving.
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.
