Information about the RF exposure from FCC
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the
United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted
an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF)
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both
international and U.S. standards. The design of this device complies with
FCC guidelines and these international standards.
Part 15.19 statement
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.
Part 15.21 Statement
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical bodyworn operations with the back of the device
kept 0.39 inches (1cm) between the user’s body and the back of the device. To
comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of
0.39 inches (1cm) must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of
the device.
Any beltclips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components
may not be used. Body-worn accessories that cannot maintain 0.39 inches (1cm)
separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the device, and have
not been tested for typical body-worn operations may not comply with FCC RF
exposure limits and should be avoided.
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
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use

notice.
• Do not disassemble this unit. Take it to a qualified service technician when repair
work is required.
• Repairs under warranty, at LG’s discretion, may include replacement parts
or boards that are either new or reconditioned, provided that they have
functionality equal to that of the parts being replaced.
• Keep away from electrical appliances such as TVs, radios and personal
computers.
• The unit should be kept away from heat sources such as radiators or cookers.
• Do not drop.
• Do not subject this unit to mechanical vibration or shock.
• Switch off the device in any area where you are required to by special
regulations. For example, do not use your device in hospitals as it may affect
sensitive medical equipment.
• 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.
• Do not keep the device next to credit cards or transport tickets; it can affect the
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.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
• 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.
Efficient device operation
Electronics devices
All devices may receive interference, which could affect performance.
• Do not use your device near medical equipment without requesting permission.
Please consult your doctor to determine if operation of your device may
interfere with the operation of your medical device.
• 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 35 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.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
• 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

particular importance when near roads.
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.

Fingerprint recognition
Fingerprint recognition overview
You must register your fingerprint on your device first before using the
fingerprint recognition function.
You can use the fingerprint recognition function in the following cases:
• To unlock the screen.
• To view the locked content in the Gallery or QuickMemo+.
• Confirm a purchase by signing in to an app or identifying yourself with
your fingerprint.
• Your fingerprint can be used by the device for user identification. Very
similar fingerprints from different users may be recognised by the
fingerprint sensor as the same fingerprint.
Precautions for fingerprint recognition
Fingerprint recognition accuracy may decrease due to a number of
reasons. To maximise the recognition accuracy, check the following before
using the device.
• The device’s Power/Lock key has a fingerprint sensor. Ensure that the
Power/Lock key is not damaged by a metallic object, such as coin or
key.
• When water, dust or other foreign substance is on the Power/Lock key
or your finger, the fingerprint registration or recognition may not work.
Clean and dry your finger before having the fingerprint recognised.
• A fingerprint may not be recognised properly if the surface of your
finger has a scar or is not smooth due to being soaked in water.
• If you bend your finger or use the fingertip only, your fingerprint may
not be recognised. Make sure that your finger covers the entire surface
of the Power/Lock key.
Custom-designed Features
29
• Scan only one finger for each registration. Scanning more than one
finger may affect fingerprint registration and recognition.
• The device may generate static electricity if the surrounding air is
dry. If the surrounding air is dry, avoid scanning fingerprints, or touch
a metallic object such as coin or key before scanning fingerprints to
remove static electricity.
Registering fingerprints
You can register and save your fingerprint on the device to use fingerprint
identification.
1 Tap
Settings General Fingerprints & security Fingerprints.
• A lock screen must be set in order to be able to use this feature.
• If the screen lock is not active, configure the lock screen by following the
on-screen instructions. See Setting a screen lock for details.
2 Locate the Power/Lock key on the back of the device and gently put
your finger on it to register the fingerprint.
• Gently press the Power/Lock key so that the sensor can recognise your
fingerprint. If you press the Power/Lock key with an excessive force, the
screen lock function may start or the screen may be turned off.
• Ensure that your fingertip covers the entire surface of the sensor of the
Power/Lock key.
Custom-designed Features

3 Follow the on-screen instructions.
• Repeat scanning the fingerprint by moving your finger little by little
until the fingerprint registers.
4 When the fingerprint registration is done, tap OK.
• Tap ADD MORE to register another fingerprint. If you register
only one fingerprint and the corresponding finger is not in a good
condition, the fingerprint recognition may not work well. As the
preventive measure against this kind of situation, register multiple
fingerprints.

• This feature may be more vulnerable to security than the other screen
locks such as Knock Code, Pattern, PIN, and Password.
• When a similar face or your photo image is used, the screen lock can be
released.
• The recognised facial data is securely stored in your device.
• When the face recognition is selected for screen lock, you must enter
the Knock Code, Pattern, PIN, or Password that has been used for face
registration without directly using the face recognition after the power
is turned on. Accordingly, be careful not to forget the specified value.
• If the device cannot detect your face, or you forgot the value specified
for registration, visit the nearest LG Customer Service Centre with your
device and ID card.
Precautions for face recognition
Face recognition accuracy may decrease in the following cases. To increase
its accuracy, check the following before using the device.
• Whether your face is covered with a hat, eyeglasses, or mask, or your
face is significantly different due to heavy makeup or beard.
• Whether there are fingerprints or foreign substances on the front of
the camera lens, or your device cannot detect your face due to a too
bright or dark light.

LG Mobile phone software update from the
Internet
For more information about using this function, please visit
http://www.lg.com/common/index.jsp, select your country and language.
This feature allows you to conveniently update the firmware on your
phone to a newer version from the Internet without needing to visit a
service centre. This feature will only be available if and when LG makes a
newer firmware version available for your device.
Because the mobile phone firmware update requires the user’s full
attention for the duration of the update process, please make sure
you check all instructions and notes that appear at each step before
proceeding. Please note that removing the USB cable during the upgrade
may seriously damage your mobile phone.
• 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.

only be available if and when LG makes a newer firmware version available
for your device.

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.
