13ENGDeclaration of ConrmationPrecautionsFCC NOTICE TO USERS:This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.Operation is subject to the following two conditions:(1) This device may not cause harmful interference and(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, no change to the antenna or the device is permitted. Any change to the antenna or the device could result in the device exceeding the RF exposure requirements and void user’s authority to operate the device.1. Radio frequency exposureThis Bluetooth® Stereo Headset HBS-500 is a radio transmitter and receiver. When in operation it communicates with a Bluetooth equipped mobile device by receiving and transmitting radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic elds (microwaves) in the frequency range 2.4 to 2.4835 GHz. Your Bluetooth headset is designed to operate in compliance with the RF exposure guidelines and limits set by national authorities and international health agencies when used with any compatible LG Electronics mobile phone.FCC ID: BEJHBS500
14ENG2. Potentially explosive atmosphereTurn off your electronic device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Although this is uncommon, your electronic device could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or re resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked.3. Emergency callsIMPORTANT!This Bluetooth® headset and the electronic device connected to the headset operate using radio signals, mobile and landline networks as well as user-programmed functions which cannot guarantee connection under all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any electronic device for essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies). Remember, in order to make or receive calls, the headset and the electronic device connected to the headset must be switched on and in a service area with adequate mobile signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on all mobile phone networks or when certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider.4. Battery informationA rechargeable battery has a long service life if treated properly. A new battery or one that has not been used for a long period of time could have reduced capacity the rst few times it is used. Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures, never above +60°C (+140°F) or below -10°C (14°F). For maximum battery capacity, use the battery at room temperature. If the battery is used in low temperatures, the battery capacity will be reduced. The battery can only be charged in temperatures between +10°C (+50°F) and +45°C (+113°F). For your safety, do not remove the battery incorporated with the product. If you need to replace the battery, take it to the nearest authorized LG Electronics service point or dealer for assistance.5. Recycling the battery in your Bluetooth headsetThe battery in your Bluetooth headset must be disposed of properly and should never be placed in municipal waste. The LG Electronics service partner who removes the battery will dispose of it according to local regulations.Additional Information

Set the volume to a safe level. Over time you can become accustomed to a higher volume that may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears or mufed speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected.Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing: • Limit the amount of time you use the headset at high volume. • Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings. • Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.Using headsets safely Use of headsets to listen to music while operating a vehicle is not recommended and is illegal in some areas. Be careful and attentive while driving. Stop using this device if you nd it disruptive or distracting while operating any type of vehicle or performing any other activity that requires your full attention.Limited WarrantyImportant Safety InformationENG
