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-C333
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 2 W/Kg averaged over
10g of tissue.
• The highest SAR value for this
model phone tested by DASY4
for use at the ear is 0.491 W/Kg
(10g) and when worn on the body
is 0.508 W/Kg (10g).
• 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 bodyworn
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.
Product care and
maintenance
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.
• Do not disassemble this unit. Take
it to a qualified service technician
when repair work is required.
• Repairs under warranty, at LG’s
option, 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 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 to 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).

6
• 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 the accessories like
earphones cautiously. Do not
touch the antenna unnecessarily.
• 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.
Efficient phone operation
Electronics devices
All mobile phones may get
interference, which could affect
performance.
• Do not use your mobile phone
near medical equipment
without requesting permission.
Avoid placing the phone over
pacemakers, for example, in your
breast pocket.
• Some hearing aids might be
disturbed by mobile phones.
• Minor interference may affect
TVs, radios, PCs, etc.
Road safety
Check the laws and regulations on
the use of mobile phones in the
area when you drive.
• Do not use a hand-held phone
while driving.
• Give full attention to driving.
• Use a hands-free kit, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before
making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use

7
• RF energy may affect some
electronic systems in your vehicle
such as car stereos and safety
equipment.
• When your vehicle is equipped
with an air bag, do not obstruct
with installed or portable wireless
equipment. It can cause the air
bag to fail or 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
near roads.
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.
Note: Excessive sound
pressure from earphones and
headphones can cause hearing
loss.
Blasting area
Do not use the phone where
blasting is in progress. Observe
restrictions, and follow any
regulations or rules.

8
Potentially explosive
atmospheres
• Do not use the phone at a
refueling point.
• Do not use near fuel or
chemicals.
• Do not transport or store
flammable gas, liquid, or
explosives in the same
compartment of your vehicle
with your mobile phone and
accessories.
In aircraft
Wireless devices can cause
interference in aircraft.
• Turn your mobile phone off before
boarding any aircraft.
• Do not use it on the aircraft
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 under all mobile networks.
Therefore, you should never depend
solely on the 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 pack.
• Keep the metal contacts of the
battery pack clean.
• Replace the battery when it
no longer provides acceptable
performance. The battery pack
maybe recharged hundreds of
times until it needs replacing.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use

9
• 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, this may deteriorate
the battery performance.
• There is risk of explosion if the
battery is replaced by an incorrect
type.
• Dispose off used batteries
according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Please recycle when
possible. Do not dispose as
household waste.
• 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.
