Please read these simple guidelines.
Not following these guidelines may
be dangerous or illegal.
Exposure to radio
frequency energy
THIS DEVICE MEETS
INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio
transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to
exceed the limits for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) recommended
by international guidelines
(ICNIRP). These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and
establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population.
The guidelines were developed by
independent scientific organisations
through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The
guidelines include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless
of age or health.
The exposure standard for
mobile devices employs a unit
of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit stated in the
international guidelines is 2.0 W/
kg*. Tests for SAR are conducted
using standard operating positions
with the device transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although
the SAR is determined at the
highest certified power level, the
actual SAR of the device while
operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because
the device is designed to operate
at multiple power levels so as to
use only the power required to
reach the network. In general, the
closer you are to a base station,
Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
7
the lower the power output of the
device.
Before a phone model is available
for sale to the public, compliance
with the European R&TTE
directive must be shown. This
directive includes as one essential
requirement the protection of the
health and the safety for the user
and any other person.
The highest SAR value for this
device when tested for use at the
ear is 0.545 W/kg.
This device meets RF exposure
guidelines when used either in the
normal use position against the
ear or when positioned at least
1.5 cm away 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 1.5 cm 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.
The highest SAR value for this
device when tested for use at the
body is 0.897 W/kg.
* The SAR limit for mobile
devices used by the public is 2.0
watts/ kilogram (W/kg) averaged
over ten grams of body tissue.
The guidelines incorporate a
substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public
and to account for any variations
in measurements.
SAR values may vary depending
on national reporting requirements
and the network band.
8
FCC SAR information
Your mobile device is also
designed to meet the
requirements for exposure to radio
waves established by the Federal
Communications Commission
(USA) and Industry Canada.
These requirements set a SAR
limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1
gram of tissue. The highest SAR
value reported under this standard
during product certifi cation for use
at the ear is 0.27 W/kg and when
properly worn on the body is 0.62
W/kg.
Additionally, this device was tested
for typical body-worn operations
with the back of the phone kept
2cm (0.79 inches) between the
users body and the back of the
phone.
To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 2cm (0.79
inches) must be maintained
between the user’s body and the
back of the phone.
* FCC Notice & Caution
Notice!
This device complies with part
15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two
conditions:
(1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and
(2)
this device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Caution!
Change or Modifications that are
not specifically approved by the
manufacturer could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.

to the phone and may be
dangerous.
Do not disassemble this unit. Take
it to a qualified service technician
when repair work is required.
Repairs under warranty, at
LG’s discretion, may include
replacement parts or boards 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 computers.
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 phone in any
area where you are required
to by special regulations. For
example, do not use your phone
in hospitals as it may affect
sensitive medical equipment.
