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-E975K 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 (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 X.XXX W/kg (10g) and when worn
on the body is X.XXX 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 body-worn
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.

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 body-worn 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.
The highest SAR value for this device
when tested for use at the body is X.XXX
W/kg.
* The SAR limit for mobile devices used by
the public is 2.0 watts/ kilogram (W/kg)
averaged over ten grams of body tissue.
The guidelines incorporate a substantial
margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account
for any variations in measurements.
SAR values may vary depending on
national reporting requirements and the
network band.
FCC SAR information
Your mobile device is also designed to
meet the requirements for exposure to
radio waves established by the Federal
Communications Commission (USA) and
Industry Canada.
These requirements set a SAR limit of
1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of tissue.
The highest SAR value reported under
this standard during product certifi cation
for use at the ear is X.XX W/kg and when
properly worn on the body is X.XX W/kg.
Additionally, this device was tested for
typical body-worn operations with the
back of the phone kept 1cm (0.39 inches)
between the users body and the back of
the phone.
To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation
distance of 1cm (0.39 inches) must be
maintained between the user’s body and
the back of the phone.

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 color of the product label inside
your phone. Damage to your device
as a result of exposure to liquid is not
covered under your warranty.
Efficient phone operation
Electronics devices
All mobile phones may receive
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.
Pull off the road and park before making
or answering a call if driving conditions
so require.
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

you are aware of your surroundings.
This is of particular importance when
near roads.
Avoid damage to your hearing
To prevent possible hearing
damage, do not listen at
high volume levels for long
periods
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.
When using headphones, turn the
volume down if you cannot hear the
people speaking near you, or if the
person sitting next to you can hear what
you are listening to.
NOTE: Excessive sound pressure
from earphones and headphones
can cause hearing loss

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.
There is risk of explosion if the battery is
replaced with an incorrect type.
Dispose of 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.

NOTE: Proximity sensor
When receiving and making calls,
the proximity sensor automatically
turns the backlight off and locks
the touch screen by sensing when
the phone is near your ear. This
extends battery life and prevents
you from unintentionally activating
the touch screen during calls.
WARNING
Placing a heavy object on the
phone or sitting on it can damage
the LCD and touch screen
functions. Do not cover the LCD
proximity sensor with protective
film. This could cause the sensor to
malfunction.

Installing the Micro-USIM card
Before you start exploring your new phone, you may insert the Micro-USIM card.
The eject button is a small round aperture just above the tray door. To install a new
Micro-USIM card:
Insert the SIM ejection tool that comes with the phone (or a thin pin) into the eject
button aperture, and push firmly but gently until the tray pops out.
Remove the tray and place the Micro-USIM card inside it, with the contacts out and
the angled corner to the right. There is only one possible way to fit the card snugly
into the tray.
Carefully reposition the tray in the slot and push it gently back into the phone.
NOTE: Make sure the gold contact area on the card is facing downwards.

Charging the phone
The charger connector is at the bottom of the phone. Insert one end of the charging
cable into the phone and plug the other end into an electrical socket.
NOTE: The battery must be fully charged initially to improve battery lifetime.
Locking and unlocking the screen
If you do not use the phone for a while, the screen is turned off and locked
automatically. This helps to prevent accidental touches and saves battery power.
When you are not using the LG-E975K, press the Power/Lock key to lock your
phone.
If there are any programs running when you set lock screen, they may be still running
in Lock mode. It is recommended that you exit all programs before entering Lock mode
to avoid unnecessary charges (e.g. phone calls, web access and data communications).
To wake up your phone, press the Power/Lock key . The lock screen will
appear. Touch and slide the lock screen in any direction to unlock your home screen.
The last screen you viewed will open.
