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 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.
• 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.

Adapter (Charger) Cautions
• Using the wrong battery charger could damage your phone and void your
warranty.
• The adapter or battery charger is intended for indoor use only.
• Do not expose the adapter or battery charger to direct sunlight or use it in
places with high humidity, such as the bathroom.
Avoid damage to your hearing
• Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed to loud sounds 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.
• 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 particularly imperative when attempting to cross the street.

TIA Safety Information
Provided herein is the complete TIA Safety Information for Wireless Handheld
phones. Inclusion of the text covering Pacemakers, Hearing Aids, and Other
Medical Devices is required in the owner’s manual for CTIA Certification. Use of the
remaining TIA language is encouraged when appropriate.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power 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 Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the
antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
Safety Guidelines
109
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
• Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact
with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate
at a higher power level than otherwise needed.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless phones in the areas where
you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please:
• Give 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 so require.
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.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone
and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn
your phone OFF immediately.
Safety Guidelines
110
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may want to consult your service provider.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Health Care Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these
areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use equipment
that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative
regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added
to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Turn your phone OFF
before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a
blasting areas or in areas posted: ‘Turn off two-way radio’. Obey all signs and
instructions.
Safety Guidelines
111
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and
obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, marked
clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling areas (such as gasoline stations); below
deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals
or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders); and any other area where you
would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either installed
or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air
bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Safety Information
Please read and observe the following information for safe and proper use of your
phone and to prevent damage. Also, keep the user guide in an accessible place at all
times after reading it.
Charger and Adapter Safety
The charger and adapter are intended for indoor use only.
Battery Information and Care
• Please dispose of your battery properly or take it to your local wireless carrier
for recycling.
• The battery does not need to be fully discharged before recharging.
• Use only LG-approved chargers specific to your phone model since they are
designed to maximize battery life.
• Do not disassemble or impact the battery as it may cause electric shock, shortcircuit, and fire. Store the battery in a place out of reach of children.
Safety Guidelines
112
• Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. The
battery can be recharged several hundred times before replacement.
• Recharge the battery after long periods of non-use to maximize battery life.
• Battery life will vary due to usage patterns and environmental conditions.
• Use of extended backlighting, Media Net Browsing, and data connectivity kits
affect battery life and talk/ standby times.
• Actual battery life will depend on network configuration, product settings,
usage patterns, battery and environmental conditions.
• Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged
to save unnecessary power consumption of the charger.
Explosion, Shock, and Fire Hazards
• Do not put your phone in a place subject to excessive dust and keep the
minimum required distance between the power cord and heat sources.
• Unplug the power cord prior to cleaning your phone, and clean the power plug
pin when it is dirty.
• When using the power plug, ensure that it is firmly connected. If it is not, it may
cause excessive heat or fire.
• If you put your phone in a pocket or bag without covering the receptacle of the
phone (power plug pin), metallic articles (such as a coin, paperclip or pen) may
shortcircuit the phone. Always cover the receptacle when not in use.
• Do not short-circuit the battery. Metallic articles such as a coin, paperclip or pen
in your pocket or bag may short-circuit the + and – terminals of the battery
(metal strips on the battery) upon moving. Short-circuiting of the terminal may
damage the battery and cause an explosion.
Safety Guidelines
113
General Notice
• Using a damaged battery or placing a battery in your mouth may cause serious
injury.
• Do not place items containing magnetic components such as a credit card,
phone card, bank book or subway ticket near your phone. The magnetism of the
phone may damage the data stored in the magnetic strip.
• Talking on your phone for a long period of time may reduce call quality due to
heat generated during use.
• When the phone is not used for a long period time, store it in a safe place with
the power cord unplugged.
• Using the phone in proximity to receiving equipment (i.e., TV or radio) may cause
interference to the phone.
• Do not immerse your phone in water. If this happens, turn it off immediately
and remove the battery. If the phone does not work, take it to an LG Authorized
Service Centre.
• Do not paint your phone.
• The data saved in your phone might be deleted due to careless use, repair of
the phone, or upgrade of the software. Please backup your important phone
numbers. (Ring tones, text messages, voice messages, pictures, and videos could
also be deleted.) The manufacturer is not liable for damage due to the loss of
data.
• When you use the phone in public places, set the ring tone to vibration so as
not to disturb others.
• Do not turn your phone on or off when putting it near your ear.
• Your phone 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
phone during or immediately after operation.
• Do not attempt to repair or modify the device yourself. You should never
attempt to open or disassemble this device yourself and doing so may cause
damage that will void your warranty.

FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration Centre for Devices and Radiological Health
Consumer Update on Mobile Phones.
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless
phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radio frequency
energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low
levels of RF when in the standby mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce
health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce
heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level
RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested
that some biological effects may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed
by additional research. In some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in
reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons for inconsistent results.
2. What is the FDA’s role concerning the safety of wireless
phones?
Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of radiation emitting consumer
products such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does with new
drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if
wireless phones are shown to emit radio frequency energy (RF) at a level that is
hazardous to the user. In such a case, the FDA could require the manufacturers of
wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace, or recall
the phones so that the hazard no longer exists. Although the existing scientific
data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the wireless phone
industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
• Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type
emitted by wireless phones;
• Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user
that is not necessary for device function; and
• Cooperate in providing of wireless phones with the best possible information
on possible effects of wireless phone use on human health.
Safety Guidelines
115
The FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that
have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts
at the federal level. The following agencies belong to this working group:
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
• Environmental Protection Agency
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Administración de la
seguridad y salud laborales)
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group
activities, as well.
The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United States
must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. The FCC relies on
the FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones.
The FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks rely
upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the wireless
phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base stations are
typically thousands of times lower than those they can get from wireless phones.
Base stations are thus not the subject of the safety questions discussed in this
document.
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term ‘wireless phone’ refers here to handheld wireless phones with builtin
antennas, often called ‘cell’, ‘mobile’, or ‘PCS’ phones. These types of wireless phones
can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the
short distance between the phone and the user’s head. These RF exposures are
limited by FCC safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of the FDA
and other federal health and safety agencies. When the phone is located at greater
distances from the user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person’s
RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source. The socalled ‘cordless phones,’ which have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring in
a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF exposures
far below the FCC safety limits.
Safety Guidelines
116
4. What are the results of the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies have
suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating
the effects of radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless
phones have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in other
laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF
could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals. However, many
of the studies that showed increased tumor development used animals that had
been genetically engineered or treated with cancer causing chemicals so as to
be predisposed to develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure. Other studies
exposed the animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These conditions are not
similar to the conditions under which people use wireless phones, so we don’t know
with certainty what the results of such studies mean for human health. Three large
epidemiology studies have been published since December 2000. Between them,
the studies investigated any possible association between the use of wireless
phones and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors
of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of the studies
demonstrated the existence of any harmful health effects from wireless phone RF
exposures.
However, none of the studies can answer questions about longterm exposures,
since the average period of phone use in these studies was around three years.
5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from
wireless phones poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people
actually using wireless phones would provide some of the data that are needed.
Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few years. However,
very large numbers of animals would be needed to provide reliable proof of a
cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data
that is directly applicable to human populations, but 10 or more years follow-up
may be needed to provide answers about some health effects, such as cancer.
This is because the interval between the time of exposure to a cancer-causing
agent and the time tumors develop - if they do may be many, many years. The
interpretation of epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring
actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many factors affect
this measurement, such as the angle at which the phone is held, or which model of
phone is used.
Safety Guidelines
117
6. What is the FDA doing to find out more about the possible
health effects of wireless phone RF?
The FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups
of investigators around the world to ensure that high priority animal studies are
conducted to address important questions about the effects of exposure to
radiofrequency energy (RF). The FDA has been a leading participant in the World
Health Organization International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its
inception in 1996. An influential result of this work has been the development
of a detailed agenda of research needs that has driven the establishment of
new research programs around the world. The project has also helped develop a
series of public information documents on EMF issues. The FDA and the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative
Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research on wireless phone
safety. The FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts
in government, industry, and academic organizations. CTIA funded research is
conducted through contracts with independent investigators. The initial research
will include both laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users. The
CRADA will also include a broad assessment of additional research needs in the
context of the latest research developments around the world.
7. How can I find out how much radiofrequency energy exposure
I can get by using my wireless phone?
All phones sold in the United States must comply with Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures.
The FCC/ISEDC established these guidelines in consultation with the FDA and the
other federal health and safety agencies. The FCC/ISEDC limit for RF exposure from
wireless telephones is set at a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts
per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC/ISEDC limit is consistent with the safety
standards developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
(IEEE) and the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement. The
exposure limit takes into consideration the body’s ability to remove heat from
the tissues that absorb energy from the wireless phone and is set well below
levels known to have effects. Manufacturers of wireless phones must report
the RF exposure level for each model of phone to the FCC/ISEDC. The FCC
website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions for locating the FCC
identification number on your phone so you can find your phone’s RF exposure level
in the online listing.
Safety Guidelines
118
8. What has the FDA done to measure the radiofrequency energy
coming from wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical
standard for measuring the radiofrequency energy (RF) exposure from wireless
phones and other wireless handsets with the participation and leadership of FDA
scientists and engineers. The standard, ‘Recommended Practice for Determining
the Spatial- Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human Body Due to
Wireless Communications Devices: Experimental Techniques,’ sets forth the first
consistent test methodology for measuring the rate at which RF is deposited in
the heads of wireless phone users. The test method uses a tissue simulating model
of the human head. Standardized SAR test methodology is expected to greatly
improve the consistency of measurements made at different laboratories on the
same phone. SAR is the measurement of the amount of energy absorbed in tissue,
either by the whole body or a small part of the body. It is measured in watts/kg (or
milliwatts/g) of matter. This measurement is used to determine whether a wireless
phone complies with safety guidelines.
9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to
radiofrequency energy from my wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these products - and at this point we do not know that there
is - it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding even potential
risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to radiofrequency
energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a person receives,
reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.
If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every day, you
could place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, since the
exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you could use a
headset and carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a wireless phone
connected to a remote antenna. Again, the scientific data does not demonstrate
that wireless phones are harmful. But if you are concerned about the RF exposure
from these products, you can use measures like those described above to reduce
your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
Safety Guidelines
119
10. What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones,
including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure to
radiofrequency energy (RF), the measures described above would apply to children
and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless phone use
and increasing the distance between the user and the RF source will reduce RF
exposure. Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised
that children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For example,
the government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a
recommendation in December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists that using
a wireless phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to
limit wireless phone use by children was strictly precautionary;
it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.
11. What about wireless phone interference with medical
equipment?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with some
electronic devices. For this reason, the FDA helped develop a detailed test
method to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test method is now
part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Medical
instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by the FDA, medical device
manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This standard
will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are
safe from wireless phone EMI. The FDA has tested hearing aids for interference
from handheld wireless phones and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored
by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies
test methods and performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones
so that no interference occurs when a person uses a ‘compatible’ phone and a
‘compatible’ hearing aid at the same time. This standard was approved by the IEEE
in 2000. The FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible
interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful interference be found to
occur, the FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference and work to resolve
the problem.

10 Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by voice almost
anywhere, anytime. An important responsibility accompanies the benefits of
wireless phones, one that every user must uphold. When operating a car, driving is
your first responsibility.
When using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good common
sense and remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial and redial.
Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take advantage of valuable
features most phones offer, including automatic redial and memory. Also, work
to memorize the phone keypad so you can use the speed dial function without
taking your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a handsfree device. A number of handsfree wireless phone
accessories are readily available today. Whether you choose an installed mounted
device for your wireless phone or a speaker phone accessory, take advantage of
these devices if available to you.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Make sure you place your
wireless phone within easy reach and where you can reach it without removing
your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if
possible, let your voicemail answer it for you.
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations. Let the
person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call
in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice can
be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is to pay
attention to the road.
Safety Guidelines
121
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are reading an
address book or business card, or writing a “to-do” list while driving a car, you
are not watching where you are going. It is common sense. Don’t get caught in a
dangerous situation because you are reading or writing and not paying attention
to the road or nearby vehicles.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are not
moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before you begin your
trip or attempt to coincide your calls with times you may be stopped at a stop
sign, red light or otherwise stationary. But if you need to dial while driving, follow
this simple tip — dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then
continue.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting.
Stressful or emotional conversations and driving do not mix; they are distracting
and even dangerous when you are behind the wheel of a car. Make people you
are talking with aware you are driving and if necessary, suspend conversations
which have the potential to divert your attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wireless phone is one of the
greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in dangerous
situations — with your phone at your side, help is only three numbers away. Dial
911 or other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, road
hazard or medical emergency. Remember, it is a free call on your wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Your wireless phone
provides you a perfect opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” in your community.
If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where
lives are in danger, call 911 or other local emergency number, as you would want
others to do for you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless nonemergency assistance number
when necessary. Certain situations you encounter while driving may require
attention, but are not urgent enough to merit a call for emergency services. But
you can still use your wireless phone to lend a hand. If you see a broken-down
vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident
where no one appears injured or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside
assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number.

Consumer Information on SAR (Specific
Absorption Rate)
This Model Phone Meets the Government’s Requirements for
Exposure to Radio Waves.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency
(RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S.
Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based
on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of
age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6
W/kg. * Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified
by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands.
Although SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR
level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. Because
the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels to use only the power
required to reach the network, in general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested
and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the
government adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the
FCC for each model.
The highest SAR values for Canada are:
*Head: 1.15 W/kg
*Body (Body-worn/Hotspot): 0.58 W/kg (Body measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC/ISEDC
requirements).
Safety Guidelines
123
While there may be differences between SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can
be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid
after searching on FCC ID: ZNFM320G.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at
http://www.ctia.org/
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the
public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the
public and to account for any variations in measurements.
* Product meets current FCC & ISEDC Radio Frequency Exposure Guidelines.
