Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these
guidelines may be dangerous or illegal. Further detailed
information is given in this manual.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR) information
This mobile phone model KE500 has been designed to
comply with applicable safety requirements for exposure
to radio waves. This requirement is based on scientific
guidelines that include safety margins designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
vThe 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.
vWhile 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.
vThe SAR limit recommended by the International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) is 2W/kg averaged over ten (10) gram of
tissue.
vThe highest SAR value for this model phone tested by
DASY4 for use at the ear is 0.497 W/kg (10g) and
when worn on the body is 0.708 W/kg (10g).
vSAR 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
(for example USA, Canada, Australia and Taiwan).

Product care and maintenance
vDo not disassemble this unit. Take it to a qualified
service technician when repair work is required.
vKeep away from electrical appliances such as a TV s,
radios or personal computers.
vThe unit should be kept away from heat sources such
as radiators or cookers.
vNever place your phone in a microwave oven as it will
cause battery to explode.
vDo not drop.
vDo not subject this unit to mechanical vibration or
shock.
vThe coating of the phone may be damaged if covered
with wrap or vinyl wrapper.
vDo not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene,
thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean your phone. There
is a risk of this causing a fire.
vDo not subject this unit to excessive smoke or dust.
vDo not keep the phone next to credit cards or transport
tickets; it can affect the information on the magnetic
strips.
vDo not tap the screen with a sharp object as it may
damage the phone.
vDo not expose the phone to liquid or moisture.
vUse accessories, such as earphones and headsets,
with caution. Ensure that cables are tucked away
safely and do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.
vPlease remove the data cable before powering on the
handset.
Warning!
Only use 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.

Electronic devices
All mobile phones may get interference, which could
affect performance.
vDo not use your mobile phone near medical equipment
without requesting permission. Avoid placing the
phone over pacemakers (i.e. in your breast pocket.)
vSome hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile
phones.
vMinor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs, etc.
Road safety
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile
phones in the areas when you drive.
vDo not use a hand-held phone while driving.
vGive full attention to driving.
vUse a hands-free kit, if available.
vPull off the road and park before making or answering
a call if driving conditions so require.
vRF energy may affect some electronic systems in your
motor vehicle such as a car stereo or safety equipment.
vIf your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do not
obstruct it with installed or portable wireless
equipment. It can cause serious injury due to improper
performance.
If you are listening to music whilst out and about, please
ensure that the volume is at a reasonable level so that
you are aware of your surroundings. This is particularly
imperative when attempting to cross the street.
Avoid damage to your hearing
Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed to
loud sound for long periods of time. We therefore
recommend that you do not turn on or off the handset
close to your ear. We also recommend that music and
call volumes are set to a reasonable level.
