7Symbol DescriptionNot groped to disassemble the device or its accessories, only authorized personnel can do it.This device, like any wireless device, operates using radio signals which, by their nature, are not able to guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, for emergency communications, never rely solely upon any wireless device.Only use approved accessories.Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal. Should a fault occur, a software tool is built into your device that will gather a fault log. This tool gathers only data specific to the fault, such as signal strength, cell ID position in sudden call drop and applications loaded. The log is used only to help determine the cause of the fault. These logs are encrypted and can only be accessed by an authorised LG Repair centre should you need to return your device for repair.Exposure to radio frequency energyRadio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information. This mobile phone model LG-K120E 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 persons, 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.
8• The SAR limit recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) is 2 W/kg averaged over 10g of tissue.• This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position against the ear or when positioned at least 5 mm away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn operation, it should not contain metal and should position the product at least 5 mm away from your body. In order to transmit data files or messages, this device requires a quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure the above separation distance instructions are followed until the transmission is completed.• The highest simultaneous SAR values are:* Head: 1.034 W/kg* Body: 1.416 W/KgFCC SAR informationYour mobile device is also designed to meet the requirements for exposure to radio waves established by the Federal Communications Commission (USA).These requirements set a SAR limit of 1.6W/kg averaged over 1gram of tissue. • The highest simultaneous SAR values are:* Head: 1.44 W/kg* Body-worn/Hotspot: 1.28 W/kgAdditionally, this device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 1cm (0.39inches) between the users body and the back of the phone.To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 1cm (0.39inches) must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of the phone.Any beltclips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components may not be used. Body-worn accessories that cannot
9maintain 0.39 inches (1cm) separation distance between the user's body and the back of the phone, and have not been tested for typical body-worn operations may not comply with FCC/IC RF exposure limits and should be avoided.* FCC Notice & CautionNotice!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.Caution!Changes or Modifications that are not specifically approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.Part15.105 statementThis equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

For example, if your device is lost, stolen, or wiped, only someone with your Google account or screen lock information can use the device.All you need to make sure your device is protected is:• Set a screen lock: If your device is lost or stolen but you have a screen lock set, the device can't be erased using the Settings menu unless your screen is unlocked. • Add your Google account on your device: If your device is wiped but you have your Google account on it, the device can't finish the setup process until your Google account information is entered again. After your device is protected, you'll need to either unlock your screen or enter your Google account password if you need to do a factory reset. This ensures that you or someone you trust is doing the reset. NOTE • Do not forget your Google account and password you had added to your device prior to performing a factory reset. If you can't provide the account information during the setup process, you won't be able to use the device at all after performing the factory reset.
