Please read these simple

guidelines. Not following these

guidelines may be dangerous

or illegal.

Exposure to radio

frequency energy

Radio wave exposure and

Specific Absorption Rate

(SAR) information. This mobile

phone model LG-C660 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 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 10g

of tissue.

Guidelines for safe and efﬁ cient use

7

The highest SAR value for •

this model phone tested by

DASY4 for use at the ear is

1.28 W/kg (10 g) and when

worn on the body is 1.12 W/

kg(10 g).

SAR data information for

•

residents in countries/regions

that have adopted the SAR

limit recommended by the

Institute of Electrical and

Electronics Engineers (IEEE),

which is 1.6 W/kg averaged

over 1g of tissue.

Product care and

maintenance

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.

Do not disassemble this unit. •

Take it to a qualified service

technician when repair work

is required.

Repairs under warranty, at

•

LG’s option, 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.

8

Switch off the phone in any •

area where you are required

by special regulations. For

example, do not use your

phone in hospitals as it may

affect sensitive medical

equipment.

Do not handle the phone

•

with wet hands while it is

being charged. It may cause

an electric shock and can

seriously damage your phone.

Do not charge a handset near

•

flammable material as the

handset can become hot and

create a fire hazard.

Use a dry cloth to clean the

•

exterior of the unit (do not use

solvents such as benzene,

thinner or alcohol).

Do not charge the phone

•

when it is on soft furnishings.

The phone should be charged

•

in a well ventilated area.

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 the accessories like

•

earphones cautiously. Do

not touch the antenna

unnecessarily.

Your phone is an electronic

•

device that generates heat

during normal operation.

Extremely prolonged, direct

skin contact in the absence

of adequate ventilation may

result in discomfort or minor

burns. Therefore, use care

when handling your phone

during or immediately after

operation.

Guidelines for safe and efﬁ cient use

9

Efficient phone operation

Electronics 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,

for example, in your breast

pocket.

Some hearing aids might be

•

disturbed by mobile phones.

Minor interference may affect

•

TVs, radios, PCs, etc.

Road safety

Check the laws and regulations

on the use of mobile phones in

the area when you drive.

Do not use a hand-held

•

phone while driving.

Give full attention to driving.

•

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

vehicle such as car stereos

and safety equipment.

When your vehicle is

•

equipped with an air bag, do

not obstruct with installed or

portable 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 reasonable level

so that you are aware of

your surroundings. This is

particularly imperative when

near roads.

10

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.

NOTE:

Excessive sound

pressure from earphones can

cause hearing loss.

Glass Parts

Some parts of your mobile

device are made of glass. This

glass could break if your mobile

device is dropped on a hard

surface or receives a substantial

impact. If the glass breaks, do

not touch or attempt to remove.

Stop using your mobile device

until the glass is replaced by an

authorised service provider.

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 •

refueling point.

Do not use near fuel or

•

chemicals.

Do not transport or store

•

flammable gas, liquid, or

explosives in the same

compartment of your vehicle

as your mobile phone and

accessories.

Guidelines for safe and efﬁ cient use

11

In aircraft

Wireless devices can cause

interference in aircraft.

Turn your mobile phone off

•

before boarding any aircraft.

Do not use it on the ground

•

without permission from the

crew.

Children

Keep the phone 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 under all mobile

networks. Therefore, you should

never depend solely on the

phone 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.
