Congratulations on your purchase of the advanced and
compact B2100 mobile phone, designed to operate
with the latest digital mobile communication
technology.
This user guide contains important information on
the use and operation of this phone. Please read all
the information carefully for optimal performance
and to prevent any damage to or misuse of the
phone. Any changes or modifications not expressly
approved in this user’s guide could void your
warranty for this equipment.

Please read these simple guidelines. Not following
these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal. Further
detailed information is given in this manual.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR) information
This mobile phone model B2100 has been designed to
comply with applicable safety requirements for
exposure to radio waves. This requirement is based on
scientific guidelines that include safety margins
designed to assure the 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
standardised 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 DASY3 for use at the ear is 0.923 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 (for example USA,
Canada, Australia and Taiwan).
Product care and maintenance
WARNING! Only use batteries, chargers and
accessories approved for use with this particular phone
model. The use of any other types may invalidate any
approval or warranty applying to the phone, and may be
dangerous.
]
Do not disassemble this unit. Take it to a qualified
service technician when repair work is required.
]

obstruct it with installed or portable wireless
equipment. It can cause serious injury due to
improper performance.

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.
Avoid damage to your hearing
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.

networks. Therefore, you should never depend solely
on your mobile phone for emergency calls. Check with
your local service provider.
Battery information and care
]

battery before recharging. Unlike other battery
systems, there is no memory effect that could
compromise the battery's performance.
