Introduction

<6> M4300
Read t hese simple guidelines. Breaking the rules 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 M4300 has been designed to
comply with applicable safety requirement for expo-
sure to radio waves.
This requirement is based on scientific guidelines that
include safety margins designed to assure this 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 standardized
method with the phone transmitting at its highest cer-
tified power level in all used frequency bands.
• While there may be differences between the SAR lev-
els 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), which is 2W/kg
averaged over ten (10) gram of tissue.
• The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by
DASY4 for use at the ear is 1.05W/kg (10g).
• SAR data information for residents in countries/
regions that have adopted the SAR limit recom-
mended 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
Warning: Use only batteries, charger and accessories
approved for use with this particular phone model.
The use of any other types may invalidate any approv-
al or warranty applying to the phone, and may be dan-
gerous.
• Do not disassemble this unit. Take it to a qualified
service technician when repair work is required.
• Keep away from electrical appliance such as a TV,
radio or personal computer.

as radiators or cookers.
• Do not drop.
• Do not subject this unit to mechanical vibration or
shock.
• The coating of the phone may be damaged if covered
with wrap or vinyl wrapper.
• Use dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit.
(Do not use solvent such as benzene, thinner or alco-

the antenna in a direction up and over your shoulder.
If the antenna is extendable/ retractable, it should be
extended during a call.
• Do not hold the antenna when the phone is in use. If
you hold it, it can affect call quality. It also may cause
the phone to operate as a higher power level that
needed and shorten talk and standby times.
• If your mobile phone supports infrared, never direct
the infrared ray at anyone’s eye.
