This requirement is based on scientific guidelines that include safety margins designed to ensure 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 standardized 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. › The SAR limit recommended by the international Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) is 2W/kg averaged over ten (10) gram of tissue.› The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by DASY4 for use at the ear is 1.16 W/kg (10g) and when worn on the body is 0.363 W/kg (10g).› SAR data information for residents in countries/regions that have adopted the SAR limit recommended by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one (1) gram of tissue.❏ Network serviceThe wireless phone described in this guide is approved for use on the GSM 900, DCS 1800 network.› Dualband is a network dependent feature. Check with your local service provider if you can subscribe to and use this feature.› A number of features included in this guide are called Network Services.
