This user’s guide contains important
information on the use and operation of this

Guidelines for safe and

Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be
dangerous or illegal. Further detailed information is given in this manual.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
RADIO WAVE EXPOSURE AND SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
INFORMATION
This mobile phone model MG230d has been designed to comply with
applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. This requirement is
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 ten (10)
gram of tissue.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
9
] The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by DASY4 for use at the
ear is 1.36 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) is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one (1) gram of tissue (for
example USA, Canada, Australia and Taiwan).
Product care and maintenance
] Do not disassemble this unit. Take it to a qualified service technician when
repair work is required.
] Keep away from electrical appliances such as a TV's, radios or personal
computers.
] The unit should be kept away from heat sources such as radiators or
cookers.
] Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will cause the battery to
explode.
WARNING! Only use 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.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
10
] Do not drop.
] Do not subject this unit to mechanical vibration or shock.
] The coating of the phone may be damaged if covered with wrap or vinyl
wrapper.
] Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene, thinners, etc.) or
detergents to clean your phone. There is a risk of this causing a fire.
] 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, such as earphones and headsets, with caution. Ensure that
cables are tucked away safely and do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.
] Please remove the data cable before powering on the handset.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
11
Efficient phone operation
To enjoy optimum performance with minimum power consumption
please:
] Do not hold the antenna when the phone is in use. If you hold it, it can affect
call quality, it may also cause the phone to operate at a higher power level
than needed and shorten talk and standby times.
Electronic devices
All mobile phones may get interference, which could affect performance.
] Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without requesting
permission. Avoid placing the phone over pacemakers (i.e. in your breast
pocket.)
] Some hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile phones.
] Minor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs, etc.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
12
Road safety
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones in the areas
when you drive.
] Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.
] Give full attention to driving.
] Use a hands-free kit, if available.
] 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 motor vehicle such as
a car stereo or safety equipment.
] If your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do not obstruct it with installed or
portable wireless equipment. It can 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 particularly imperative when attempting to cross the
street.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
13
Avoid damage to your hearing
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.
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 the phone at a refueIling point. Don't use near fuel or chemicals.
] Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle, which contains your mobile phone and
accessories.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
14
In aircraft
Wireless devices can cause interference in aircraft.
] Turn off your mobile phone before boarding any aircraft.
] Do not use it on the ground without crew permission.
Children
Keep the phone in a safe place out of small children's reach. It includes small
parts which if detached may cause a choking hazard.
Emergency calls
Emergency calls may not be available under all mobile networks. Therefore, you
should never depend solely on your mobile phone for emergency calls. Check
with your local service provider. Dial 0-0-0 local emergency number in the
case of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies. Remember, it is a free call
on your wireless phone! Dial 1-1-2 internationally for emergency services.
