Guidelines for safe and ecient use
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 GM730
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 ensure 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 ear is 0.969 W/kg (10g)
and when worn on the body is
0.915 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 1g of tissue.

20 LG GM730 | User Guide
Occasionally you may need to reset
your device. A normal (or soft)
reset of your device clears all active
program memory and shuts down
all active programs. This can be
useful when the device is running
slower than normal, or a program
is not performing properly. A soft
reset is also necessary after the
installation of some programs.
If a soft reset is performed when
programs are running, unsaved
work will be lost.
You can also perform a hard reset
(also known as a full reset). A hard
reset should only be performed
if a normal reset does not solve a
system problem. After a hard reset,
the device is restored to its default
settings—the way it was when
you first purchased it and turned
it on. Any programs you installed,
data you entered, and settings you
customized on the device will be
lost.
To perform a soft reset
Find the Soft reset key. This is the
small hole inside the charger socket
cover on the right hand side of your
device (shown enclosed by circles in
the picture below).
Use the stylus to press the reset key
and hold it for a while. Your device
may shut down. Press the POWER
button, the device restarts and
displays the Home Screen. To
