Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information
This mobile phone model GB125 has been designed to comply with applicable safety
requirement for exposure to radio waves. This requirement is based on scientific guidelines
that include safety margins designed to ensure safety of all persons, regardless of age and
health.

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.
›
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. (for example USA, Canada, Australia and Taiwan).
Electronic devices
All mobile phones may get interference, which could affect performance.
