FCC RF Exposure Information

WARNING! Read this information before operating the wireless device.

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

U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this wireless device

complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.

Body-Worn(Wrist) and Next-to-Mouth Operation

This device was tested for typical body worn (Wrist) operations with the

back of the device kept 0 inches (0cm) between the user’s body (Wrist).

This device was also tested for typical Next to-Mouth (Face) operations

with the front of the device kept 0.39 inches (1cm) from the user’s mouth

(Face). 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.

Caution

Use only the supplied antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas (or

modifications to the antenna) could impair call quality, damage the wireless

device, void your warranty and/or violate FCC regulations.

Don’t use the wireless device with a damaged antenna. A damaged

antenna could cause a minor skin burn. Contact your local dealer for a

replacement antenna.

Safety

Consumer Information About Radio Frequency

Emissions

Your wireless device, which contains a radio transmitter and receiver,

emits radio frequency energy during use. The following consumer

information addresses commonly asked questions about the health

effects of wireless devices.

Are wireless devices safe?

Scientific research on the subject of wireless devices and radio frequency

(“RF”) energy has been conducted worldwide for many years, and

continues. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)

and the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) set policies and

procedures for wireless devices. The FDA issued a website publication on

health issues related to wireless device usage where it states, “The

scientific community at large … believes that the weight of scientific

evidence does not show an association between exposure to

radiofrequency (RF) from wireless devices and adverse health outcomes.

Still the scientific community does recommend conducting additional

research to address gaps in knowledge. That research is being conducted

around the world and the FDA continues to monitor developments in this

field. You can access the joint FDA/FCC website at http://www.fda.gov

(under “c”in the subject index, select Cell Phones > Research). You can

also contact the FDA toll-free at (888) 463-6332 or (888) INFOFDA. In June

2000, the FDA entered into a cooperative research and development

agreement through which additional scientific research is being conducted.

The FCC issued its own website publication stating that “there is no

scientific evidence that proves that wireless device usage can lead to

cancer or a variety of other problems, including headaches, dizziness or

memory loss.” This publication is available at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/

cellular.html or through the FCC at (888) 225-5322 or (888) CALL-FCC.

What does “SAR” mean?

In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency, and other agencies, established RF exposure safety guidelines for

wireless devices in the United States. Before a wireless device model is

32 Safety

available for sale to the public, it must be tested by the manufacturer and

certified to the FCC that it does not exceed limits established by the FCC.

One of these limits is expressed as a Specific Absorption Rate, or “SAR.”

SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy in the body. Tests

for SAR are conducted with the wireless device transmitting at its highest

power level in all tested frequency bands. Since 1996, the FCC has required

that the SAR of handheld wireless devices not exceed 1.6 watts per

kilogram, averaged over one gram of tissue.

Although the SAR is determined at the highest power level, the actual SAR

value of a wireless device while operating can be less than the reported

SAR value. This is because the SAR value may vary from call to call,

depending on factors such as proximity to a cell site, the proximity of the

wireless device to the body while in use, and the use of hands-free

devices. For more information about SARs, see the FCC’s OET Bulletins 56

and 65 at http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/

Documents/bulletins or visit the Cellular Telecommunications Industry

Association website at http://www.ctia.org/consumer_info/index.cfm/

AID/10371. You may also wish to contact the manufacturer of your wireless

device.

Can I minimize my RF exposure?

If you are concerned about RF, there are several simple steps you can take

to minimize your RF exposure. You can, of course, reduce your talk time.

You can place more distance between your body and the source of the RF,

as the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. The FDA/FCC

website states that “hands-free kits can be used with wireless devices for

convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF

energy in the head because the wireless device, which is the source of the

RF emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the

wireless device is mounted against the waist or other part of the body

during use, then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless

devices marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety requirements

regardless of whether they are used against the head or against the body.

Either configuration should result in compliance with the safety limit.” Also,

if you use your wireless device while in a car, you can use a wireless device

33

with an antenna on the outside of the vehicle. You should also read and

follow your wireless device manufacturer’s instructions for the safe

operation of your wireless device.

Do wireless devices pose any special risks to children?

The FDA/FCC website states that “the scientific evidence does not show a

danger to users of wireless communication devices, including children.”

The FDA/FCC website further states that “some groups sponsored by

other national governments have advised that children be discouraged from

using wireless devices at all”. For example, the Stewart Report from the

United Kingdom [“UK”] made such a recommendation in December 2000.

In this report a group of independent experts noted that no evidence exists

that using a wireless device causes brain tumors or other ill effects. [The

UK’s] recommendation to limit wireless device use by children was strictly

precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health

hazard exists. A copy of the UK’s leaflet is available at http://www.dh.gov.uk

(search “mobile”), or you can write to: NRPB, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11

ORQ, United Kingdom. Copies of the UK’s annual reports on wireless

device and RF are available online at www.iegmp.org.uk and http://www.

hpa.org.uk/radiation/ (search “mobile”). Parents who wish to reduce their

children’s RF exposure may choose to restrict their children’s wireless

device use.

Consumer Information on SAR

(Specific Absorption Rate)

This model wireless device meets the government’s requirements for

exposure to radio waves. Your wireless device 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. 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 devices employs a unit of

measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. 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

specified by the FCC with the wireless device 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

wireless device while operating can be well below the maximum value.

Because the wireless device 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 wireless device 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

36 Safety

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 value for this model when tested for use at Next-to-

Mouth (Face) is 1.14 W/kg (1g) and for Limb-Worn (Wrist) is 2.94 W/kg

(10g), depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While

there may be differences between SAR levels of various wireless devices

and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe

exposure.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model wireless

device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the

FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this model wireless

device 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

ZNFVC200. 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, 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. The standard incorporates a

substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and

to account for any variations in measurements.

TIA Safety Information

The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless handheld

devices.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal

Your wireless handheld portable device is a low power radio transmitter and

receiver. When ON, it receives and sends out Radio Frequency (RF) signals.

In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted

RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless devices.

37

Safety

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)

* American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation

Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing

Radiation Protection.

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).

The design of your wireless device complies with the FCC guidelines (and

those standards)

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized

antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the wireless device

and may violate FCC regulations.

Wireless device Operation

Hold the wireless device approximately 6 inches (minimal distance is

0.39 inches) from the mouth and speak normally.

Tips on Efficient Operation

For your wireless device to operate most efficiently:

Don’t touch the antenna unnecessarily when the wireless device is in use.

Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the wireless

device to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.

38 Safety

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 device.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a

minimum separation of six (6) inches be maintained between a handheld

wireless device 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:

sShould ALWAYS keep the wireless device more than six (6) inches from

their pacemaker when the wireless device is turned ON;

sShould not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket;

sShould use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for

interference;

sShould turn the wireless device OFF immediately if there is any reason to

suspect that interference is taking place.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of

your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF

energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this

information.

Health Care Facilities

Turn your wireless device 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

39

Safety

representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the

manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities

Turn your wireless device OFF in any facility where posted notices so

require.

Aircraft

FCC regulations prohibit using your wireless device while in the air. Switch

OFF your wireless device before boarding an aircraft.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your wireless device OFF

when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”.

Obey all signs and instructions.

Potentially Explosive Atmosphere

Turn your wireless device 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 Vehi cles Equip ped 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.

FDA Consumer Update

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices

and Radiological Health Consumer Update on Wireless devices:

1. Do wireless devices pose a health hazard?

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are

associated with using wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that

wireless devices are absolutely safe. Wireless devices emit low levels of

Radio Frequency (RF) energy in the microwave range while being used. They

also emit very low levels of RF when in 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

46 Safety

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 devices?

Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting

consumer products such as wireless devices before they can be sold, as it

does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has

authority to take action if wireless devices are shown to emit Radio

Frequency (RF) energy at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a

case, the FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless devices to notify

users of the health hazard and to repair, replace, or recall the wireless

devices so that the hazard no longer exists.

Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions,

the FDA has urged the wireless device industry to take a number of steps,

including the following:

sSupport needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type

emitted by wireless devices;

sDesign wireless devices in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the

user that is not necessary for device function; and

sCooperate in providing users of wireless devices with the best possible

information on possible effects of wireless device use on human health.

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:

sNational Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

sEnvironmental Protection Agency

sOccupational Safety and Health Administration

sNational Telecommunications and Information Administration

47

Safety

The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working

group activities, as well.

The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless devices with the

Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All wireless devices 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 devices.

The FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless device networks

rely upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the

wireless devices themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these

base stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they can

get from wireless devices. Base stations are thus not the subject of the

safety questions discussed in this document.

3. What kinds of wireless devices are the subject of this update?

The term “wireless device” refers here to handheld wireless devices with

built-in antennas, often called “cell”, “mobile”, or “PCS” wireless devices.

These types of wireless devices can expose the user to measurable Radio

Frequency (RF) energy because of the short distance between the wireless

device 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 wireless device 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 so-called “cordless devices,” 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.

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 Radio Frequency (RF) energy

exposures characteristic of wireless devices have yielded conflicting results

48 Safety

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

pre-disposed 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 devices, so we do not 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 devices

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 device RF exposures. However, none of the studies can answer

questions about long-term exposures, since the average period of wireless

device use in these studies was around three years.

5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from

wireless devices poses a health risk?

A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people

actually using wireless devices 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 ten 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 devices. Many factors affect

this measurement, such as the angle at which the wireless device is held,

or which model of wireless device is used.

49

Safety

6. What is the FDA doing to find out more about the possible health

effects of wireless device 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 Radio Frequency (RF) energy.

The FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization

International Electro Magnetic 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 device safety. The FDA provides the

scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in government, industry,

and academic organizations. CTIAfunded research is conducted through

contracts with independent investigators. The initial research will include

both laboratory studies and studies of wireless device 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 Radio Frequency energy exposure I

can get by using my wireless device?

All wireless devices sold in the United States must comply with Federal

Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit Radio Frequency

(RF) energy exposures. The FCC established these guidelines in

consultation with the FDA and the other federal health and safety agencies.

The FCC limit for RF exposure from wireless devices is set at a Specific

Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC 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

50 Safety

energy from the wireless device and is set well below levels known to

have effects. Manufacturers of wireless devices must report the RF

exposure level for each model of wireless device to the FCC. The FCC

website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions for locating the

FCC identification number on your wireless device so you can find your

wireless device’s RF exposure level in the online listing.

8. What has the FDA done to measure the Radio Frequency energy

coming from wireless devices?

The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a

technical standard for measuring the Radio Frequency (RF) energy

exposure from wireless devices 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 device 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 wireless device.

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 device complies with safety guidelines.

9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to Radio Frequency

energy from my wireless device?

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 Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Since time is a key factor in

how much exposure a person receives, reducing the amount of time spent

using a wireless device will reduce RF exposure. If you must conduct

extended conversations by wireless device every day, you could place

more distance between your body and the source of the RF, since the

51

Safety

exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you could

use a headset and carry the wireless device away from your body or use a

wireless device connected to a remote antenna. Again, the scientific data

does not demonstrate that wireless devices 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 device use.

10. What about children using wireless devices?

The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless

devices, including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to

lower exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy, the measures described

above would apply to children and teenagers using wireless devices.

Reducing the time of wireless device 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 devices 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 device causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their

recommendation to limit wireless device use by children was strictly

precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health

hazard exists.

11. What about wireless device interference with medical equipment?

Radio Frequency (RF) energy from wireless devices can interact with some

electronic devices. For this reason, the FDA helped develop a detailed test

method to measure Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) of implanted

cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless devices.

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

Cautions

 The user interface of Google apps (Google Search, Google Maps,

Navigation, etc.) can vary depending on its software version.

 Locations are inaccurate when GPS is not set.

 There may be situations when the GizmoGadget fails to accurately

identify its approximate location, or the GizmoGadget smartphone

application erroneously displays the device’s approximate location.

 The GPS system utilized by the GizmoGadget is a satellite-based system

that provides location and timing information. GPS is operated and

controlled exclusively by the United States government. Any changes in

availability and accuracy of the GPS, or in environmental conditions, may

adversely impact the operation of the GizmoGadget device. LG makes

no representations or warranties about the availability or accuracy of the

GPS.

53

Safety

 If the GizmoGadget device is not within a clear line of sight to GPS

satellites, it will be unable to identify its approximate location.

 With the Android operating system, some available Play Store apps only

operate correctly with wireless devices that have a specific screen

resolution. Please be advised that some of the apps on Play Store may

not be available for your wireless device due to an LCD resolution

requirement that doesn’t match your wireless device. In addition, please

be aware that third party apps with programming defects may cause

issues with your wireless device, including lock ups and resets.

 All of the wireless device’s contents, including content which you create

or download, will be deleted after a Factory Reset.

 The map data utilized by the GizmoGadget to identify and communicate

location information is provided by Google, who’s services are subject to

change and may not be available in all geographic areas, resulting in

maps, directions, or location-based information that may be unavailable,

inaccurate, or incomplete. LG makes no representations or warranties

about the accuracy or completeness of any map data or other

information supplied by Google or any other map data provider. Compare

the information provided by the GizmoGadget device to your

surroundings and defer to posted signs to resolve any discrepancies.

damages for failing to honor a written warranty or service contract or

for violating disclosure provisions. [See 15 USC §2310(d).] Except for

some labeling and disclosure requirements, the federal Act does not

preempt state law. [See 15 USC §2311.]

(6) The customer shall bear the cost of shipping the product to the

Customer Service Department of LG. LG shall bear the cost of shipping

Limited Warranty Statement

3. WHAT LG WILL DO:

LG will, at its sole option, either repair, replace or refund the purchase price

of any unit that does not conform to this limited warranty. LG may choose

at its option to use functionally equivalent re-conditioned, refurbished or

new units or parts or any units. In addition, LG will not re-install or back-up

any data, applications or software that you have added to your wireless

device. It is therefore recommended that you back-up any such data or

information prior to sending the unit to LG to avoid the permanent loss of

such information.

4. STATE LAW RIGHTS:

No other express warranty is applicable to this product. THE DURATION OF

ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF

MARKETABILITY, IS LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESS

WARRANTY HEREIN. LG SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE LOSS OF THE

USE OF THE PRODUCT, INCONVENIENCE, LOSS OR ANY OTHER

DAMAGES, DIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL, ARISING OUT OF THE USE

OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THIS PRODUCT OR FOR ANY BREACH OF

ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED

WARRANTY OF MARKETABILITY APPLICABLE TO THIS PRODUCT.

Some states do not allow the exclusive limitation of incidental or

consequential damages or limitations on how long an implied warranty

lasts; so these limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty

gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which

vary from state to state.

Limited Warranty Statement

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:

ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR

RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE

PRODUCT SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING

ARBITRATION, AND NOT IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION.

BINDING ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU AND LG ARE EACH

WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING OR

PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean

LG Electronics MobileComm U.S.A., Inc., its parents, subsidiaries and

affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents,

beneficiaries, predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and

suppliers; references to “dispute” or “claim” shall include any dispute,

claim or controversy of any kind whatsoever (whether based in contract,

tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other

legal or equitable theory) arising out of or relating in any way to the sale,

condition or performance of the product or this Limited Warranty.

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

specifically, 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

60 Limited Warranty Statement

(referred to as the “AAA Rules”) and under the procedures set forth 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

conflict 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.

Governing Law: The law of the state of your residence shall govern this

Limited Warranty and any disputes between us except to the extent that

such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal law.

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 filing 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 filing, 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 finds

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

61

Limited Warranty Statement

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 first consumer purchaser’s

purchase of the product by either: (i) sending an e-mail to optout@lge.

com, with the subject line: “Arbitration Opt Out” or (ii) calling 1-800-

980-2973. You must include in the opt out e-mail or provide by

telephone: (a) your name and address; (b) the date on which the product

was purchased; (c) the product model name or model number; and (d)

the IMEI or MEID or Serial Number, as applicable (the IMEI or MEID or

Serial Number can be found (i) on the product box; (ii) on a label on the

back of the product beneath the battery, if the battery is removable. You

may only opt out of the dispute resolution procedure in the manner

described above (that is, by e-mail or telephone); no other form of

notice will be effective to opt out of this dispute resolution procedure.

Opting out of this dispute resolution procedure will not affect the

coverage of the Limited Warranty in any way, and you will continue to

enjoy the full benefits of the Limited Warranty. If you keep this product

and do not opt out, then you accept all terms and conditions of the

arbitration provision described above.
