comply with applicable safety requirement for exposure
to radio waves. This requirement is based on scientific
guidelines that include safety margins designed to assure
this 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
method 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), which 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 0.551 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),
which is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one (1) gram of tissue.

short-circuit the phone. Always cover the receptacle
when not in use.
•Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will
