4Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal.Exposure to radio frequency energyRadio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information. This mobile phone model LG-E975K 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 (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 •••2 W/kg averaged over 10g of tissue.The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by DASY4 for use at the ear is X.XXX W/kg (10g) and when worn on the body is X.XXX W/Kg (10g).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.••Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
5This 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 X.XXX 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.FCC SAR informationYour 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 X.XX W/kg and when properly worn on the body is X.XX W/kg.Additionally, this device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 1cm (0.39 inches) between the users body and the back of the phone.To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 1cm (0.39 inches) must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of the phone.0.651.03the phone.the phone.
