Symbol Description
Read these instructions for safe use of this wireless device
You must always exercise extreme caution when driving in order to
reduce the risk of accidents. Do not use your wireless device while
driving.
This device, moreover, has been tested for use at a distance of 1.5cm
between the back of the phone and the user's body.
To comply with RF exposure requirements established by the FCC, you
must maintain a minimum distance of 1cm between the user's body and
the back of the phone. See the user manual for more information.
Do not leave the device or its accessories within the reach of children
and do not allow to play with. The device contains small parts with sharp
edges that may cause injury or break off and give rise to danger of
suffocation.
This device may produce a loud sound
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that you leave at least 15 cm
of space between other devices and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker.
Switch off your phone when prompted to do so in hospitals, clinics or
health care facilities.
These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with
sensitive medical devices.

Symbol Description
Turn off your wireless device when prompted to do so by airport
personnel or aircraft. For information on the use of wireless devices on
board aircraft, contact the crew. If the device has a "flight mode", this
must be activated before boarding an aircraft.
Turn off the device or wireless device when in any area in which they
occur explosions or areas where there are reports that indicate to "turn
off two-way radio" or "electronic devices" to avoid interfering with the
operation of trigger explosions.
Among the areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling
areas are, the holds of ships, facilities for the transportation or storage of
fuel and chemicals, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles
such as grain, dust or metal powders.
This device may produce a bright or flashing light
Do not expose your device or its accessories to open flames.
Do not expose your device or its accessories to magnetic media (floppy
disks, credit cards, etc).
Do not expose your device or its accessories to extreme temperatures, ie
below -5 and above +55°C.
Do not expose your device or its accessories to liquid or moisture.
Not groped to disassemble the device or its accessories, only authorized
personnel can do it.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Symbol Description
This device, like any wireless device, operates using radio signals which,
by their nature, are not able to guarantee connection in all conditions.
Therefore, for emergency communications, never rely solely upon any
wireless device.
Only use approved accessories
Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be dangerous
or illegal.
Should a fault occur, a software tool is built into your device that will gather a fault log.
This tool gathers only data specific to the fault, such as signal strength, cell ID position
in sudden call drop and applications loaded.
The log is used only to help determine the cause of the fault.
These logs are encrypted and can only be accessed by an authorized LG Repair centre
should you need to return your device for repair.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured
not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) recommended by
international guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and
establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population.
The guidelines were developed by independent scientific organisations through periodic
and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The guidelines include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age or health.

The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the international guidelines
is 2.0W/kg*. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the
device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR
of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because
the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power
required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a base station, the lower
the power output of the device.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the European
R&TTE directive must be shown. This directive includes as one essential requirement
the protection of the health and the safety for the user and any other person.
The highest SAR value for this device when tested for use at the ear is 0.377W/kg.
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.
The highest SAR value for this device when tested for use at the body is 0.314W/kg.
* The SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0watts/ kilogram (W/
kg) averaged over ten grams of body tissue. The guidelines incorporate a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.
SAR values may vary depending on national reporting requirements and the network
band.
