the battery to explode.
Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will cause the battery to explode.
Do not dispose of your battery by fire or with hazardous or flammable materials.
Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal’s teeth, nails, come into contact with the

Important Safety Precautions
When riding in a car, do not leave your phone or set up the hands-free kit near the air bag. If
wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag is activated, you may be seriously injured.
Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.
Do not use the phone in areas where its use is prohibited. (For example, aircraft).
 Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct sunlight or use it in places with high humidity,
such as a bathroom.
Never store your phone in temperatures less than -15°C or greater than 50°C.
Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene, thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean your
phone. There is a risk of this causing a fire.
Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. Such actions may harm the internal circuit boards
of the phone.
Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as the phone may generate sparks.
Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting, pulling, or heating. Do not use the plug if it is loose
as it may cause electric shock or fire.

NX225 3
Do not place any heavy items on the power cord. Do not allow the power cord to be crimped as it may
cause electric shock or fire.
Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is being charged. It may cause an electric shock or
seriously damage your phone.
Do not disassemble the phone.
Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may short-circuit the phone and/or cause
electric shock or fire.
Only use the batteries, antennas, and chargers provided by LG. The warranty will not be applied to
products provided by other suppliers.
Only authorised personnel should service the phone and its accessories. Faulty 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.
An emergency call can be made only within a service area. For an emergency call, make sure that you
are within a service area and that the phone is turned on.
