accessories and FCC requirements).
While there may be differences
between SAR levels of various phones
and at various positions, they all meet
the government requirement for safe
exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model phone
with all reported SAR levels evaluated
as in compliance with the FCC RF
emission guidelines. SAR information
on this model phone is on file with
the FCC and can be found under the

Can I minimize my RF exposure?
If you are concerned about RF, there
are several simple steps you can
take to minimize your RF exposure.
You can, of course, reduce your talk
time. You can place more distance
between your body and the source of
the RF, as the exposure level drops off
dramatically with distance. The FDA/
FCC website states that “hands-free
kits can be used with wireless phones
for convenience and comfort. These
systems reduce the absorption of
RF energy in the head because the
phone, which is the source of the RF
emissions, will not be placed against
the head. On the other hand, if the
phone is mounted against the waist
or other part of the body during
use, then that part of the body will
absorb more RF energy. Wireless
phones marketed in the U.S. are
required to meet safety requirements

FDA Consumer Update
●Do not immerse your phone in
water, liquid, or expose to high
humidity. If this happens, turn it
off immediately and remove the
battery. Immediately, take it to an
LG Authorized Service Center.
●Do not paint your phone.
●The data saved in your phone
might be deleted due to careless
use, repair of the phone, or
upgrade of the software. Please
backup your important phone
numbers. (Ringtones, text
messages, voice messages,
pictures, and videos could also be
deleted.) The manufacturer is not
liable for damage due to the loss
of data.
●When you use the phone in public
places, set the ringtone to
vibration so you don't disturb
others.
●Do not turn your phone on or off
when putting it to your ear.
●Use accessories, such as
earphones and headsets, with
caution. Ensure that cables are
tucked away safely and do not
touch the antenna unnecessarily.

3. What kinds of phones are the subject
of this update?
Theterm“wirelessphone”refershereto
handheldwirelessphoneswithbuilt-in
antennas,oftencalled“cell”,“mobile”,or
“PCS”phones.Thesetypesofwirelessphones

5. What research is needed to decide

8. What has the FDA done to measure the
Radio Frequency energy coming from
wireless phones?
TheInstituteofElectricalandElectronic

measurementisusedtodeterminewhether
awirelessphonecomplieswithsafety
guidelines.
9. What steps can I take to reduce my
exposure to Radio Frequency energy
from my wireless phone?
Ifthereisariskfromtheseproducts—and
atthispointwedonotknowthatthere
is—itisprobablyverysmall.Butifyouare
concernedaboutavoidingevenpotential
risks,youcantakeafewsimplestepsto
minimizeyourexposuretoRadioFrequency
(RF)energy.Sincetimeisakeyfactorinhow
muchexposureapersonreceives,reducing
theamountoftimespentusingawireless
phonewillreduceRFexposure.Ifyoumust
conductextendedconversationsbywireless
24
phoneeveryday,youcouldplacemore
distancebetweenyourbodyandthesource
oftheRF,sincetheexposureleveldropsoff
dramaticallywithdistance.Forexample,you
coulduseaheadsetandcarrythewireless
phoneawayfromyourbodyoruseawireless
phoneconnectedtoaremoteantenna.Again,
thescienticdatadoesnotdemonstratethat
wirelessphonesareharmful.Butifyouare
concernedabouttheRFexposurefromthese
products,youcanusemeasureslikethose
describedabovetoreduceyourRFexposure
fromwirelessphoneuse.
10. What about children using wireless
phones?
Thescienticevidencedoesnotshowa
dangertousersofwirelessphones,including
childrenandteenagers.Ifyouwanttotake
stepstolowerexposuretoRadioFrequency
(RF)energy,themeasuresdescribedabove
wouldapplytochildrenandteenagers
usingwirelessphones.Reducingthetime
ofwirelessphoneuseandincreasingthe
distancebetweentheuserandtheRFsource
willreduceRFexposure.
Somegroupssponsoredbyothernational
governmentshaveadvisedthatchildrenbe
discouragedfromusingwirelessphonesat
all.Forexample,thegovernmentintheUnited

wirelessphoneusebychildrenwasstrictly
precautionary;itwasnotbasedonscientic
evidencethatanyhealthhazardexists.
11. What about wireless phone interfer-
ence with medical equipment?
RadioFrequency(RF)energyfromwireless
phonescaninteractwithsomeelectronic
devices.Forthisreason,theFDAhelped
