Guidelines for safe and ecient use
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 BL40
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.
The highest SAR value for this
model phone tested by DASY4
for use at the ear is 0.757 W/kg
(10g) and when worn on the
body is 0.842 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), which is 1.6 W/
kg averaged over 1g of tissue.

6 LG BL40 | User Guide
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers
recommend that a minimum
separation of 15cm be maintained
between a mobile phone and
a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. To
achieve this use the phone on the
opposite ear to your pacemaker and
do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hospitals
Switch off your wireless device
when requested to do so in
hospitals, clinics or health care
facilities. These requests are
designed to prevent possible
interference with sensitive medical
equipment.
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.
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 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.
Guidelines for safe and ecient use

If you are listening to music
while 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

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.
Glass Parts

are made of glass. This glass
could break if your mobile device

Touch screen tips
The home screen is also a great
place to get used to using the touch
screen.
To select an item, touch the centre
of the icon.
Do not to press too hard; the
touchscreen is sensitive enough
to pick up on a light touch.
Use the tip of your finger to
touch the option you require. Be
careful not to touch any other
keys.
When the screen light is off, press
the power key to return to the
home screen.
Whenever your BL40 is not in use,
it will return to the lock screen.
Proximity sensor
When receiving and making calls,
this sensor automatically turns the
backlighting off and locks the touch
keypad by sensing objects when the
phone is near the ear.
This makes the battery life last
longer and prevents the touch
keypad from malfunctioning
through automatic key locking
during calls.
Users, therefore, do not have
the inconvenience of unlocking
the phone when searching the
phonebook during calls.
