Guidelines for safe and efficient 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 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 NonIonizing 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.
This device meets RF exposure guidelines
when used either in the normal use

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

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 information
Your 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
0.65 W/kg and when
for use at the ear is X.XX
1.03 W/kg.
properly worn on the body is X.XX
Additionally, this device was tested for
typical body-worn operations with the

To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation

or fix broken, chipped or cracked glass.
Damage to the glass display due to
abuse or misuse is not covered under
the warranty.
• 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.
• If your phone gets wet, immediately
unplug it to dry off completely. Do not
attempt to accelerate the drying process
with an external heating source,such as
an oven, microwave or hair dryer.
• The liquid in your wet phone, changes
the color of the product label inside
your phone. Damage to your device
as a result of exposure to liquid is not
covered under your warranty.
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.
• 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 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.
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 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.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
• 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.
Emergency calls
• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold
