Part 15.105 Statement
This 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. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmfulinterferencetoradiocommunications.However,thereisnoguaranteethat
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connecttheequipmentintoanoutletonacircuitdifferentfromthattowhich

sensitive medical equipment.
9Guidelines for safe and efficient use
• Do not handle the device with wet hands while it is being charged. It may cause
an electric shock and can seriously damage your device.
• Do not charge a handset near flammable material as the handset can become
hot and create a fire hazard.
• Use a dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit (do not use solvents such as
benzene, thinner or alcohol).
• Do not charge the device when it is on soft furnishings.
• The device should be charged in a well ventilated area.
• Do not subject this unit to excessive smoke or dust.

information on the magnetic strips.
• Do not tap the screen with a sharp object as it may damage the device.
• Do not expose the device to liquid or moisture.
• Use accessories like earphones cautiously. Do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily.
• Do not use, touch or attempt to remove or fix broken, chipped or cracked glass.
Damage to the glass display due to abuse or misuse is not covered under the
warranty.
• Your device is an electronic device that generates heat during normal operation.
Extremely prolonged, direct skin contact in the absence of adequate ventilation
may result in discomfort or minor burns. Therefore, use care when handling your
device during or immediately after operation.
• If your device gets wet, immediately unplug it to dry off completely. Do not
attempt to accelerate the drying process with an external heating source, such
as an oven, microwave or hair dryer.
• The liquid in your wet device, changes the colour of the product label inside your
device. Damage to your device as a result of exposure to liquid is not covered
under your warranty.
10Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Efficient device operation
Electronics devices
All devices may receive interference, which could affect performance.
• Pacemakermanufacturersrecommendthatyouleaveatleast15cmofspace
between other devices and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker.
• This device may produce a bright or flashing light.
• Somehearingaidsmightbedisturbedbydevices.
• MinorinterferencemayaffectTVs,radios,PCsetc.
• Useyourdeviceintemperaturesbetween0ºCand40ºC,ifpossible.Exposing
your device to extremely low or high temperatures may result in damage,
malfunction, or even explosion.
Road safety
Checkthelawsandregulationsontheuseofdevicesintheareawhenyoudrive.
• Donotuseahand-helddevicewhiledriving.
• Give full attention to driving.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions
so require.
• RF energy may affect some electronic systems in your vehicle such as car
stereos and safety equipment.
• When your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do not obstruct with installed
or portable wireless equipment. It can cause the air bag to fail or cause serious
injury due to improper performance.
• If you are listening to music whilst out and about, please ensure that the volume
is at a reasonable level so that you are aware of your surroundings. This is of
particular importance when near roads.
11Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Avoid damage to your hearing
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume
levels for long periods.
Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed to loud sound for long
periods of time. We therefore recommend that you do not turn on or off the
handset close to your ear. We also recommend that music and call volumes are set
to a reasonable level.
• When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people
speaking near you, or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are
listening to.
• Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause
hearing loss.
Glass Parts
Somepartsofyourdevicearemadeofglass.Thisglasscouldbreakifyourdeviceis
dropped on a hard surface or receives a substantial impact. If the glass breaks, do

by an authorised service provider.
Blasting area
Do not use the device where blasting is in progress. Observe restrictions and follow
any regulations or rules.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
• Do not use your device at a refueling point.
• Do not use near fuel or chemicals.
• Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the same
compartment of your vehicle as your device or accessories.
12Guidelines for safe and efficient use
In aircraft
Wireless devices can cause interference in aircraft.
• Turn your device off before boarding any aircraft.
• Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew.
Children
Keep the device in a safe place out of the reach of small children. It includes small
parts which may cause a choking hazard if detached.
Emergency calls
Emergency calls may not be available on all mobile networks. Therefore you should
neverdependsolelyonyourdeviceforemergencycalls.Checkwithyourlocal
service provider.
Battery information and care
• You do not need to completely discharge the battery before recharging. Unlike
other battery systems, there is no memory effect that could compromise the
battery’s performance.
• Use only LG batteries and chargers. LG chargers are designed to maximise the
battery life.
• Donotdisassembleorshort-circuitthebattery.
• Keep the metal contacts of the battery clean.

Anti-Theft Guide
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

• 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.
• 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.
