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. 17 Guidelines for safe and efficient use (Continued) Product care and maintenance WARNING Only use batteries, chargers and accessories approved for use with this particular phone model.
