Please read these simple guidelines.
Not following these guidelines may
be dangerous or illegal.
Exposure to radio frequency
energy
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL
GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio
transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to
exceed the limits for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) recommended
by international guidelines
(ICNIRP). These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and
establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population.
The guidelines were developed by
independent scientific organisations
through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The
guidelines include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless
of age and health.
The exposure standard for
mobile devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit stated in the international
guidelines is 2.0 W/kg*. Tests for
SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions with the device
transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR of the
device while operating can be well
below the maximum value. This is
because the device is designed to
operate at multiple power levels so
as to use only the power required
to reach the network. In general,
the closer you are to a base station,
the lower the power output of
the device. Before a phone model
is available for sale to the public,
Guidelines for safe and ecient use

compliance with the European
R&TTE directive must be shown. This
directive includes as one essential
requirement the protection of the
health and the safety for the user
and any other person.
The highest SAR value for this
device when tested for use at the
ear is 0.564 W/kg.
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
0.935 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.
For SAR information in other
regions please look under product
information at www. lgmobile.com.

10 LG BL40 | User Guide
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 0.216 W/kg and when properly
worn on the body is 0.628 W/kg.
Additionally, this device was tested
for typical body-worn operations
with the back of the phone kept
0.79 inches (2cm) between the users
body and the back of the phone.
To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 0.79
inches(2cm) must be maintained
between the user’s body and the
back of the phone.
* FCC Notice & Caution
Notice!
This device complies with part 15 of
the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Caution!
Change or Modifications that are
not specifically approved by the
manufacturer could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment
