(Do not use any solvents.)› Do not keep the phone next to credit cards or transport tickets; it can affect the information on the magnetic strips.❏ Guidelines for safe and efficient use (Continued)Electronic devicesAll mobile phones may get interference, which could affect performance.› Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without requesting permission. Avoid placing the phone over a pacemaker, i.e. in your breast pocket.Road safetyCheck the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones in the areas when you drive.› Do not use a hand-held phone while 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.Blasting areaDo not use the phone where blasting is in progress. Observe restrictions, and follow any regulations or rules.❏ Guidelines for safe and efficient use (Continued)Potentially explosive atmospheresDo not use the phone at a refueling point. Do not use near fuel or chemicals.In aircraftWireless devices can cause interference in aircraft.› Turn off your mobile phone before boarding any aircraft.ChildrenKeep the phone in a safe place out of children’s reach. It includes small parts which if detached may cause a choking hazard.Emergency callsEmergency calls may not be available under all cellular networks. Therefore, you should never depend solely on the phone for emergency calls. Check with your local service provider.❏ Guidelines for safe and efficient use (Continued)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 maximize the battery life.› Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery pack.› Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. The battery pack may be recharged hundreds of times before it needs to be replaced.› Do not expose the battery charger to direct sunlight or use it in high humidity, such as the bathroom.› Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.› Dispose off used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.❏ Guidelines for safe and efficient use (Continued)Exposure to radio frequency energyRadio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) informationThis mobile phone model has been designed to comply with applicable safety requirement for exposure to radio waves. This requirement is based on scientific guidelines that include safetymargins designed to ensure safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.› The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the SpecificAbsorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standardized 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 ten (10) gram of tissue.› The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by DASY4 for use at the ear is 0.600 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) is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one (1) gram of tissue.❏ TroubleshootingThis chapter lists some problems that you might encounter while using your phone.
