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.

Important information about the device

• Device apps and services are subject to change or cancellation without notice,

depending on the provider’s situation and the software version.

• When the device is turned on for the first time, an initial configuration takes

pl

ace. The first booting time may be longer than usual.

Read before use

• To purchase optional items, contact the LG Customer Information Centre for

available dealers.

• The appearance and specifications of the device are subject to change without

no

tice.

• Do not use LG products for other purposes than those originally intended.

Using non-c

ertified apps or software may damage the device and this is not

covered by warranty.

6Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Exposure to radio frequency energy

Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information.

This device 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 Absor

ption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using

standardised methods with the device transmitting at its highest certified

power level in all used frequency bands.

• While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various LG device

models, the

y 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 P

rotection (ICNIRP) is 2 W/kg averaged over 10 g of tissue.

• The highest SAR value for this model tested for use at the ear is 0.792 W/kg

(10 g) and when worn on the body is 1.330 W

/Kg (10 g).

• This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use

position against the ear or when positioned at least 5 mm aw

ay 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 5 mm 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.

no

tice.
