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.

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 0.477 W/kg

(10g) and when worn on the body is 0.937 W

/kg (10g).

6Guidelines for safe and efficient use

• 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.

Product care and maintenance

• Always use genuine LG batteries, chargers and accessories approved for use

with this particular device model. The use of any other types may invalidate any

approval or warranty applying to the device and may be dangerous.

• Some contents and illustrations may differ from your device without prior

no

tice.

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

work is r

equired.

• Repairs under warranty, at LG’s discretion, may include replacement parts

or boar

ds 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

c

omputers.

• 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 device in any area where you are required to by special

r

egulations. For example, do not use your device in hospitals as it may affect

sensitive medical equipment.

• Do not handle the device with wet hands while it is being charged. It may cause

an electr

ic shock and can seriously damage your device.

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

ho

t and create a fire hazard.

7Guidelines for safe and efficient use

• Use a dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit (do not use solvents such as

benz

ene, thinner or alcohol).

• Do not charge the device when it is on soft furnishings.

• The device should be charged in a well ventilated area.

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

• Do not keep the device next to credit cards or transport tickets; it can affect the

information on the magnetic str

ips.

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

• Do not expose the device to liquid or moisture.

• Use accessories like earphones cautiously. Do not touch the antenna

unnec

essarily.

• Do not use, touch or attempt to remove or fix broken, chipped or cracked glass.

Damage to the gl

ass display due to abuse or misuse is not covered under the

warranty.

• Your device is an electronic device that generates heat during normal operation.

Extr

emely prolonged, direct skin contact in the absence of adequate ventilation

may result in discomfort or minor burns. Therefore, use care when handling your

device during or immediately after operation.

• If your device gets wet, immediately unplug it to dry off completely. Do not

attemp

t to accelerate the drying process with an external heating source, such

as an oven, microwave or hair dryer.

• The liquid in your wet device, changes the colour of the product label inside your

de

vice. Damage to your device as a result of exposure to liquid is not covered

under your warranty.

8Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Efficient device operation

Electronics devices

All devices may receive interference, which could affect performance.

• Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without requesting

permission. Please c

onsult your doctor to determine if operation of your phone

may interfere with the operation of your medical device.

• Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that you leave at least 15 cm of space

betw

een other devices and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the

pacemaker.

• This device may produce a bright or flashing light.

• Some hearing aids might be disturbed by devices.

• Minor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs etc.

• Use your device in temperatures between 0ºC and 40ºC, if possible. Exposing

your de

vice 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 devices in the area when you drive.

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

• Give full attention to driving.

• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions

so r

equire.

• RF energy may affect some electronic systems in your vehicle such as car

ster

eos and safety equipment.

• When your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do not obstruct with installed

or por

table 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 r

easonable level so that you are aware of your surroundings. This is of

particular importance when near roads.

9Guidelines for safe and efficient use

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 per

son sitting next to you can hear what you are

listening to.

• Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause

hearing loss.

Glass Parts

Some parts of your device are made of glass. This glass could break if your 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 device until the glass is replaced

by an authorised service provider.

Blasting area

Do not use the device where blasting is in progress. Observe restrictions and follow

any regulations or rules.

Potentially explosive atmospheres

• Do not use your device at a refueling point.

• Do not use near fuel or chemicals.

• Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the same

c

ompartment of your vehicle as your device or accessories.

10Guidelines for safe and efficient use

In aircraft

Wireless devices can cause interference in aircraft.

• Turn your device off before boarding any aircraft.

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

Children

Keep the device 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 device 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

batter

y 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 bathr

oom.

• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, as this may deteriorate battery

performanc

e.

11Guidelines for safe and efficient use

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

batter

ies according to the instructions.

• If you need to replace the battery, take it to the nearest authorised LG

Electr

onics service point or dealer for assistance.

• Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the device is fully charged

to sav

e unnecessary power consumption of the charger.

• Actual battery life will depend on network configuration, product settings,

usage patterns, batter

y and environmental conditions.

• Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal’s teeth or nails, come into

c

ontact with the battery. This could cause a fire.

Securing personal information

• Make sure to protect your personal information to prevent data leakage or

misuse of sensitive information.

• Always back up important data while using the device. LG is not responsible for

any data loss.

• Make sure to back up all data and reset the device when disposing of the device

to pr

event any misuse of sensitive information.

• Read the permission screen carefully while downloading applications.

• Be cautious using the applications that have access to multiple functions or to

your per

sonal information.

• Check your personal accounts regularly. If you find any sign of misuse of your

per

sonal information, ask your service provider to delete or change your account

information.

• If your device is lost or stolen, change the password of your account to secure

your per

sonal information.
