Please read these simple guidelines. Not
following these guidelines may be dangerous
or illegal.
Exposure to radio frequency
energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) information. This
mobile phone model LG-E405 has been
designed to comply with applicable safety
requirements for exposure to radio waves.
These requirements are 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 10g of tissue.
The highest SAR value for this model
phone tested by DASY4 for use at the
head/ear is 1.060 W/kg (10 g).
This device meets RF exposure guidelines
when used either in the normal use
position against the ear or when positioned
at least 1.5 cm away from the body. When
a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for
body-worn operation, it should not contain

metal and should position the product
at least 1.5 cm away from your body. In
order to transmit data files or messages,
this device requires a quality connection to
the network. In some cases, transmission
of data files or messages may be delayed
until such a connection is available. Ensure
the above separation distance instructions
are followed until the transmission is
completed.
