Efficient phone operation
Electronics devices
All mobile phones may receive 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. Please consult your doctor to determine if operation of your phone may
interfere with the operation of your medical device.
Some hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile phones.
Minor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs etc.
12
Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
Use your phone in temperatures between 0ºC and 40ºC, if possible. Exposing your
phone to extremely low or high temperatures may result in damage, malfunction, or
even explosion.
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.
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.
13
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 of particular
importance when near roads.
Avoid damage to your hearing
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for
long periods.
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.
When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people
speaking near you, or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are listening
to.
NOTE: Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones 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 it. Stop using your mobile device until the
glass is replaced by an authorised service provider.
14

Do not use the phone where blasting is in progress. Observe restrictions and follow any
regulations or rules.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
Do not use your 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 or accessories.
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 on all mobile networks. Therefore you should
never depend solely on your phone for emergency calls. Check with your local service
provider for more information.
Use your mobile phone to call emergency services for yourself or others in the case of
fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies;
- Australia Dial (0-0-0)
Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
15
- New Zealand Dial (1-1-1)
- International Dial (1-1-2)
- other local emergency number.
Remember, it is a free call when dialling emergency services from your mobile phone
in Australia.
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.
Use only LG batteries and chargers. LG chargers are designed to maximise the
battery life.
Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. The battery
pack may be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing.
Recharge the battery if it has not been used for a long time to maximise usability.
Do not expose the battery charger to direct sunlight or use it in high humidity, such as
in the bathroom.
Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, as this may deteriorate battery
performance.
There is risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. Please recycle
when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
If you need to replace the battery, take it to the nearest authorised LG Electronics
service point or dealer for assistance.
Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to
save unnecessary power consumption of the charger.
Actual battery life will depend on network configuration, product settings, usage
16
patterns, battery and environmental conditions.
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.
Driver Safety Tips
Your mobile telephone gives you the powerful ability to communicate almost anywhere,
anytime, but an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of mobile phones,
one that every user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility.
When using your mobile phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense
and remember the following tips:
Use a hands free device to add an additional layer of convenience and safety to your
wireless phone with one of the many hands free accessories available today.
Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the
call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even
heavy traffic can be hazardous.
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Typing up a “to do”
list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary
responsibility of driving safely.
Place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls
when you will not be driving.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make
people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that
have the potential to divert your attention from the road.
Use your mobile phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident,
crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call the
emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.
If you see a broken down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal,
a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be
stolen, call roadside assistance, local traffic authority or police station.
