WARNING
To reduce the possibility of electric shock, do not expose your product to high humidity
areas, such as bathroom or swimming pool.
Keep the phone away from heat. Never store your phone in environment that may expose it to temperatures
below 0°C or above 40°C, such as outdoor during snowstorm, or in your car in hot days. Exposure to cold or
heat will result in malfunction, damage or permanent failure. Be careful when using your phone near other
electronic devices. The RF emissions from mobile phones may affect nearby electronic equipment that not
adequately shielded. You should consult manufacturers of any personal medical devices, as in the case of
pacemakers and hearing aides, to determine whether they are susceptible to interference from cell phones.
Turn off your phone in medical facilities or at gas stations. Never place your phone in microwaves, as it will cause
the battery to explode.
Important!
Before using your phone, please read the SAFETY INFORMATION OF THE
TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION (TIA).

More detailed information is provided in this user’s guide.
• Never use an unapproved battery that could cause damages to the phone or the battery itself, or even
explode.
• Never place your phone in a microwave oven, as this will result in an explosion of the battery.
• Do not dispose of your battery in fire or with hazardous or flammable materials.
• Make sure the battery does not come into contact with sharp-edged items, such as animal teeth or claws.
This could cause a fire.
• Store the battery in a place out of the reach of children.
• Be careful so that children do not swallow any parts of the phone, such as rubber plugs (earpiece, parts that
connect to the phone, etc.). This could cause asphyxiation or suffocation.
• Disconnect the plug and charger from the outlet when the phone shows that the battery has been fully
charged, because it may cause electric shock or fire hazard.
• When in the car, do not leave your phone, or install a hands-free kit, near the airbag. If wireless equipment is
improperly installed, you can be seriously injured if the airbag is deployed.
• Do not use mobile phone while driving.
• Do not use the phone in areas where its usage is prohibited. (For example: in airplanes).
• Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct sunlight, or use it in places with high humidity, such as
bathroom.
• Never store your phone in temperatures lower than -20°C or higher than 50°C.
• Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene, solvents, etc.) or detergents to clean the phone. This
could cause fire.
• Do not drop the phone, strike it, or shake it hard.
Such actions may harm the phone’s internal circuit boards.
• Do not use your phone in high explosive areas, as this may generate sparks.
• Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting, pulling, or heating it. Do not use the plug if it is loose as
it may cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is charging. This can cause electric shock or seriously
damage your phone.
• Do not disassemble the phone.

• Use only batteries and chargers provided by LG. The warranty does not apply to products provided by other

• Only authorized personnel should service the phone and its accessories.
Installation or service may result in accidents and consequently invalidate the warranty.
• Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your body during a call.
• Emergency calls can be made only within a service area. To make an emergency call, make sure you are
within a service area and the phone is on.
• Use your accessories, such as headphones or headsets, with caution, ensuring that the cables are plugged
properly and that they do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.
Information about the RF exposure from FCC
WARNING
Read this information before operating the phone.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States, with its action in Report
and Order FCC 96-326, adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF)
electromagnetic
energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard
previously set by both international and U.S. standards.
The design of this phone complies with FCC guidelines and these international standards.
Caution
Use only the supplied antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas, or modifications, could impair call quality, damage
the phone, void your warranty, or result in a violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.
A damaged antenna in contact with the skin could cause a singe. Contact your local dealer for an antenna
replacement.
