2. Potentially explosive atmosphere
Turn off your electronic device when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Although this is uncommon, your electronic device could generate
injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but
not always, clearly marked.
3.Emergency calls
IMPORTANT!
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 information
A 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
temperatures, never above +60°C(+140°F) or under -20°C(-4°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 incorperated in the product. If you need to
replace the battery, take it to the nearest authorised LG Electronics service point
or dealer for assistance.
5. Recycling the battery in your Bluetooth® headset

never be placed in municipal waste. The LG Electronics service partner who
removes the battery will dispose of it according to local regulations.
