Guidelines for safe and efficient use
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 authorised LG Repair centre
should you need to return your device for repair.
Product care and maintenance
• Always use genuine LG 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.
• Some contents and illustrations may differ from your device without
prior notice.
• Do not disassemble this unit. Take it to a qualified service technician
when repair work is required.
• Repairs under warranty, at LG's discretion, may include replacement
parts or boards that are either new or reconditioned, provided that
they have functionality equal to that of the parts being replaced.
• Keep away from electrical appliances such as TVs, radios and personal
computers.
• The unit should be kept away from heat sources such as radiators or
cookers.
• Do not drop.
• Do not subject this unit to mechanical vibration or shock.
• Switch off the phone in any area where you are required to by special
regulations. For example, do not use your phone in hospitals as it may
affect sensitive medical equipment.
• Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is being charged. It
may cause an electric shock and can seriously damage your phone.

• Do not charge a handset near flammable material as the handset can
become hot and create a fire hazard.
• Use a dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit (do not use solvents
such as benzene, thinner or alcohol).
• Do not charge the phone when it is on soft furnishings.
• The phone should be charged in a well ventilated area.
• Do not subject this unit to excessive smoke or dust.
• Do not keep the phone next to credit cards or transport tickets; it can
affect the information on the magnetic strips.
• Do not tap the screen with a sharp object as it may damage the
phone.
• Do not expose the phone to liquid or moisture.
• Use accessories like earphones cautiously. Do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily.
• Do not use, touch or attempt to remove or fix broken, chipped or
cracked glass. Damage to the glass display due to abuse or misuse is
not covered under the warranty.
• Your phone is an electronic device that generates heat during normal
operation. Extremely prolonged, direct skin contact in the absence
of adequate ventilation may result in discomfort or minor burns.
Therefore, use care when handling your phone during or immediately
after operation.
• If your phone gets wet, immediately unplug it to dry off completely.
Do not attempt to accelerate the drying process with an external
heating source, such as an oven, microwave or hair dryer.
• The liquid in your wet phone, changes the colour of the product label
inside your phone. Damage to your device as a result of exposure to
liquid is not covered under your warranty.

Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical bodyworn operations with the back of the phone kept 0.39
inches (1cm) between the user’s body and the back of the phone. To comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.39 inches (1cm) must be
maintained between the user’s body and the back of the phone.
Any beltclips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components may not be
used. Body-worn accessories that cannot maintain 0.39 inches (1cm) separation distance
between the user's body and the back of the phone, and have not been tested for typical
body-worn operations may not comply with FCC RF exposure limits and should be avoided.

In aircraft
Wireless devices can cause interference in aircraft.
• Turn your mobile phone off before boarding any aircraft.
• Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew.
Children
Keep the phone in a safe place out of the reach of small children. It
includes small parts which may cause a choking hazard if detached.
Emergency calls
Emergency calls may not be available on all mobile networks. Therefore
you should never depend solely on your phone for emergency calls. Check
with your local service provider.
Battery information and care
• You do not need to completely discharge the battery before
recharging. Unlike other battery systems, there is no memory effect
that could compromise the battery's performance.
• Use only LG batteries and chargers. LG chargers are designed to
maximise the battery life.
• Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
• Keep the metal contacts of the battery clean.
• Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable
performance. The battery pack may be recharged hundreds of times
before it needs replacing.
• Recharge the battery if it has not been used for a long time to
maximise usability.
• Do not expose the battery charger to direct sunlight or use it in high
humidity, such as in the bathroom.
• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, as this may deteriorate
battery performance.
• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of
used batteries according to the instructions.

11
• If you need to replace the battery, take it to the nearest authorised
LG Electronics service point or dealer for assistance.
• Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is
fully charged to save unnecessary power consumption of the charger.
• Actual battery life will depend on network configuration, product
settings, usage patterns, battery and environmental conditions.
• Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal's teeth or nails,
come into contact with the battery. This could cause a fire.
