Guidelines for safe and efficient use
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-P655k 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.
t 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.
t 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.
t The SAR limit recommended by the International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) is 2 W/kg averaged over 10g of tissue.
t The highest SAR value for this model phone tested for use at the ear is
0.577 W/kg (10g) and when worn on the body is 0.633 W/Kg (10g).
t 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.

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 void any approval or warranty
applying to the phone and may be dangerous.
t Do not disassemble this unit. Take it to a qualified service technician when
repair work is required.
t 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.
t Keep away from electrical appliances such as TVs, radios and personal
computers.
t The unit should be kept away from heat sources such as radiators or cookers.
t Do not drop.
t Do not subject this unit to mechanical vibration or shock.
t 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.
t 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.
t Do not charge a handset near flammable material as the handset can
become hot and create a fire hazard.
t Use a dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit (do not use solvents such as
benzene, thinner or alcohol).
t Do not charge the phone when it is on soft furnishings.
t The phone should be charged in a well ventilated area.
t Do not subject this unit to excessive smoke or dust.
t Do not keep the phone next to credit cards or transport tickets; it can affect
the information on the magnetic strips.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use

7
t Do not tap the screen with a sharp object as it may damage the phone.
t Do not expose the phone to liquid or moisture.
t Use accessories like earphones cautiously. Do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily.
t 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.
t 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.
t 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.
t 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.
t Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without requesting
permission. Avoid placing the phone over pacemakers, for example, in your
breast pocket.
t Some hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile phones.
t Minor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs etc.
t Use your phone in temperatures between 0ºC and 40ºC, if possible.
Exposing your phone to extremely low or high temperatures may result in
damage, malfunction, or even explosion.

Road safety
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones in the area when
you drive.
t Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.
t Give full attention to driving.
t Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
t RF energy may affect some electronic systems in your vehicle such as car
stereos and safety equipment.
t 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.
t 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 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.
t 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.
