Safety instructions
TIA's Safety Information
This includes complete security information on wireless phones from TIA
(Telecommunications Industry Association).
It's required, for CTIA Certification, the inclusion in the user manual of
text covering pacemakers, hearing aids and other medical devices. It's
encouraged the use of the remaining TIA language when relevant.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a lowpower radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out
radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless
phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards
previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations
of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists,
engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies,
and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI
Standard (C95.1).
* American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurements; International Commission on NonIonizing Radiation Protection.
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those
standards).
12
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and
may violate FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone
with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
Suggestions for a more efficient operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
• Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily, when the phone is in use.
The contact with the antenna affects call quality, and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise would be
need.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations related to the use of wireless phones in
the areas where you drive. Always obey these regulations. Also, if using
your phone while driving, make sure to:
• Pay full attention to driving; driving safely is your first responsibility;
• Use hands-free operation, if available;
• Pull off the road and park, before making or answering a call, if driving
conditions demand so.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF
signals from your wireless phone.
13
Pacemaker
The Medical Industry Manufacturers Association recommends a minimum
distance of fifteen (15) centimeters, or six (6) inches, between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker, in order to avoid potential interference
between them.
These advices are consistent with independent researches, and with
recommendations based on wireless technology research.
People with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the phone at least fifteen centimeters (six inches) from
their pacemaker, whenever the phone is turned on;
• Not carry the phone in a shirt pocket;
• Use the ear opposite to the pacemaker, to minimize the potential
interference;
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
switch off your phone immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, we recommend that you contact your service
provider.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical devices, consult your device
manufacturer to determine if they are adequately shielded from external
RF energy. Your doctor can help you obtain this information.
Health Care Facilities
Turn off your phone in health care facilities, whenever there are signs
asking you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use equipment
that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
14
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded devices
in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer, or its representative, regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer about any equipment that has
been added to your vehicle.
Facilities with signs
Turn off the phone in any facility where warning signs request you to do
so.
Airplanes
FCC regulations prohibit the use of phones while in the air. Turn off your
phone before boarding an airplane.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in
a 'blasting area' or in areas with signs that read: 'Turn off two-way radios'.
Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn off the phone when in an area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire that could result in
personal injury or death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often clearly marked,
but not always. Among the potentially dangerous areas are:
Fueling areas (such as gas stations), areas below deck on boats, facilities
where chemical products are transferred or stored, vehicles using liquefied
petroleum gas (as propane or butane), areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust or metal powders), and any
other areas where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle
engine.
15
For vehicles equipped with air bags
Air bags inflate with strong force. Do not place objects in the area over
the air bag or in its deployment area, including wireless equipment, either
installed or portable.
Serious injuries could occur if wireless equipment is improperly installed
into the car when the air bag inflates.
Safety Information
Read and observe the following information for the safe and proper use
of your phone, and to prevent any damage.
Also, keep the user's guide in an accessible place at all times after reading
it.
Charger, Adapter and Battery Security

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The charger and adapter are designed only for indoor use.
Dispose of your battery properly, or bring it to your wireless provider
for recycling.
The battery doesn't need to be fully discharged before recharging.
Only use LG approved chargers that are specifically made for your
phone model, since they are designed to maximize the battery life.
Do not disassemble or short-circuit it.
Keep the metal contacts on the battery clean.
Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable
performance. The battery can be recharged several hundred times
before replacement.
Charge the battery after long periods without use to maximize its life.
The battery life will vary depending on usage patterns and
environmental conditions.
Intensive use of backlighting, browser, and packet data connectivity
affect battery life and talk/standby times.
The role of self-protection interrupts the phone when its operation is
in an abnormal state. In this case, remove the battery from the phone,
reinstall it, and turn on the phone.
16
Explosion, Shock and Fire Danger
•
•
•
•
•
Do not place the phone in a place exposed to excessive dust, and
keep the minimum required distance between the power cord and

LG device software update via Over-the-Air (OTA)
This feature allows you to conveniently update your device software to a
newer version via OTA, without connecting using a USB data cable. This
feature will only be available if and when LG makes a newer firmware
version available for your device.
You should first check the software version on your device:
Settings > About phone > System updates.
•
•
•
•
NOTE
Your personal data from internal device storage—including information about
your Google account and any other accounts, your system/application data and
settings, any downloaded applications and your DRM licence—might be lost in
the process of updating your device software. Therefore, LG recommends that
you backup your personal data before updating your device software. LG does
not take responsibility for any loss of personal data.
This feature depends on your network service provider, region and country.
LG reserves the right to make firmware updates available only for selected
models at its own discretion and does not guarantee the availability of the
newer version of the firmware for all handset models.
To protect against an unexpected power off during updating your device
software, due to insufficient battery power, you should always keep your
battery fully charged. Also do not remove the battery during updating your
device software.

Anti-Theft Guide
You can set up your device to prevent other people from using it if it's
been reset to factory settings without your permission. 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.
