Exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
In August 1996, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission
(FCC), 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. The
design of this product complies with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards.

of the device.
And this device was tested for typical Next-to-Mouth(Face) operations
with the front of the device kept 0.39 inches (1cm) between the user’s
mouth(Face) and the front 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
mouth(Face) and the front of the device.
Any accessories containing metallic components may not be used.
19
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) values
Your product is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to Radio
Frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission
of the U.S. Government. 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 products employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specifi c Absorption Rate, or SAR. In the
United States and Canada, the SAR limit for wrist watch used by the
public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue or 4.0
watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over ten gram of tissue.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specifi ed
by the FCC with the product transmitting at its highest certifi ed power
level in all tested frequency bands.

FCC ID
Although SAR is determined at the highest certifi ed power level, the
actual SAR level of the product during operation can be well below the
maximum value.
Because the product is designed to operate at multiple power levels
and 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.
The highest SAR value for this model product when tested for use at
Next-to-Mouth(Face) is 0.68 W/kg(1g) and for Wrist-worn is 2.23 W/
kg(10g).
While there may be differences between SAR levels of various phones
and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for
safe exposure.
21
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model product
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
emission guidelines.
SAR information on this model product is on fi le with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on FCC ID

Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. You and LG
agree to resolve any claims between us only by binding arbitration on
an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below. Any dispute
between you and LG shall not be combined or consolidated with a
dispute involving any other person’s or entity’s product or claim. More
specifi cally, without limitation of the foregoing, any dispute between you
and LG shall not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class or
representative action. Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an
individual action in small claims court, but that small claims court action
may not be brought on a class or representative basis.
Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either
you or LG must make a written demand for arbitration. The arbitration
will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and
will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the AAA’s Consumer
Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated
(referred to as the “AAA Rules”) and under the procedures set forth
35
in this section. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org/
consumer. Send a copy of your written demand for arbitration, as well as
a copy of this provision, to the AAA in the manner described in the AAA
Rules. You must also send a copy of your written demand to LG at LG
Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn: Legal Department-Arbitration 1000 Sylvan
Avenue Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632.
If there is a confl ict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in
this section, the rules set forth in this section will govern. This arbitration
provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment may be
entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court of competent jurisdiction.
All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating
to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision and to the
arbitrability of the dispute are for the court to decide. The arbitrator is
bound by the terms of this provision.

Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon
receipt of your written demand for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all
arbitration fi ling fees to the AAA unless you seek more than $25,000 in
damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by
the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all
AAA fi ling, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated
in accordance with the AAA Rules and this arbitration provision. If you
prevail in the arbitration, LG will pay your reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses to the extent required by applicable law. If the arbitrator fi nds
either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand
is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the
standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the
payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In
such a situation, you agree to reimburse LG for all monies previously
disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA
37
Rules. Except as otherwise provided for, LG waives any rights it may
have to seek attorneys’ fees and expenses from you if LG prevails in the
arbitration.
Hearings and Location. If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may
choose to have the arbitration conducted solely on the basis of (1)
documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic hearing,
or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your
claim exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the
AAA Rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at a location
within the federal judicial district in which you reside unless we both
agree to another location or we agree to a telephonic arbitration.
Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you
opt out, neither you nor LG can require the other to participate in an
arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must send notice to LG no later
than 30 calendar days from the date of the fi rst consumer purchaser’s
purchase of the product by either: (i) sending an e-mail to
