Important Safety Precautions

Read these instructions. Breaking the rules may be dangerous or

illegal. Further detailed information is given in this user guide.

WARNING! Violation of the instructions may cause serious injury or

death.

1. Never use an unapproved battery since this could

damage the phone and/or battery and could cause

the battery to explode.

2. Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will

cause the battery to explode.

3. Never store your phone in temperatures less than

-4°F or greater than 122°F.

4. Do not dispose of your battery by fire or with

hazardous or flammable materials.

5. When riding in a car, do not leave your phone or set

up the hands-free kit near to the air bag. If wireless

equipment is improperly installed and the air bag is

deployed, you may be seriously injured.

6. Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.

7. Do not use the phone in areas where its use is

prohibited. (For example: aircraft)

Important Safety Precautions

Important Safety Precautions

1. Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct

sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as

a bathroom.

2. Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene,

thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean your phone. This

could cause a fire.

3. Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. It

may harm the internal circuit boards of the phone.

4. Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as the

phone may generate sparks.

5. Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting,

pulling, or heating. Do not use the plug if it is loose as

it may cause a fire or electric shock.

6. Do not place any heavy items on the power cord. Do

not allow the power cord to be crimped as it may

cause electric shock or fire.

7. Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is

being charged. It may cause an electric shock or

seriously damage your phone.

8. Do not disassemble the phone.

3

Important Safety Precautions

1. Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may

short-circuit the phone and/or cause electric shock or fire.

2. Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your body

during a call.

3. 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.

4. Store the battery out of reach of children.

5. Be careful that children do not swallow any parts (such as

rubber plugs, earphone, connection parts of the phone, etc.)

This could cause asphyxiation or suffocation resulting in serious

injury or death.

6. Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning storms to

avoid electric shock or fire.

7. Only use the batteries and chargers provided by LG. The

warranty will not be applied to products provided by other

suppliers.

8. Only authorized personnel should service the phone and its

accessories. Faulty installation or service may result in accidents

and consequently invalidate the warranty.

9. Your service provider programs one or more emergency phone

numbers, such as 911, that you can call under any

circumstances, even when your phone is locked. Your phone’s

preprogrammed emergency number(s) may not work in all

locations, and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed

due to network, environmental, or interference issues.

Technical Details

consistent with the safety

standard previously set by both

U.S. and international standards

bodies.

The design of this phone complies

with the FCC guidelines and these

international standards.

Bodily Contact During

Operation

This device was tested for typical

use with the back of the phone

kept 0.9 inches (2.0 cm) from

(Optional, if available.)

A minimum separation distance of

8 inches (20 cm) must be

maintained between the user/
