Exposure to radio frequency
energy
Radio wave exposure and Speci c
Absorption Rate (SAR) information
This mobile phone model GU230
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 users, regardless of age
and health.
• The radio wave exposure
guidelines employ a unit of
measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or 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 2W/kg averaged over
10g of tissue.
• The highest SAR value for this
model phone tested by DASY4
for use close to the ear is 0.618
W/kg(10g) and when worn on the
body is 0.805 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), which is 1.6 W/kg averaged
over 1g of tissue.

Wireless devices can cause
interference in aircraft.
• Turn your mobile phone off before
boarding any aircraft.
• Do not use it on the aircraft
without permission from the crew.
Children
Keep the phone in a safe place out of
the reach of small children.
It includes small parts which may
cause a choking hazard if detached.
Emergency calls
Emergency calls may not be available
under all mobile networks. Therefore,
you should never depend solely on the
phone for emergency calls. Check with
your local service provider.

LG chargers are designed to
maximize the battery life.

cold places, this may deteriorate
the battery performance.

take it to the nearest authorized LG
Electronics service point or dealer

the wall socket after the phone is
