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-P760 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 ensure 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, or 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 0.395 W/kg (10 g) and when
worn on the body is 0.494 W/kg (10 g).
• 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.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use

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 invalidate any
approval or warranty applying to the
phone, and may be dangerous.
• Do not disassemble this unit. Take it to a
qualified service technician when repair
work is required.
• Repairs under warranty, at LG’s
discretion, may include replacement
parts or boards that are either new
or reconditioned, provided they have
functionality equal to that of the parts
being replaced.
• Keep away from electrical appliances
such as TVs, radios, and personal
computers.
• The unit should be kept away from heat
sources such as radiators or cookers.
• Do not drop.
• Do not subject this unit to mechanical
vibration or shock.
• Switch off the phone in any area where
you are required to do so by special
regulations. For example, do not use
your phone in hospitals as it may affect
sensitive medical equipment.
• 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.
• Do not charge a handset near
flammable material as the handset can
become hot and create a fire hazard.
• Use a dry cloth to clean the exterior of
the unit (do not use solvents such as
benzene, thinner or alcohol).
• Do not charge the phone when it is on
soft furnishings.
• The phone should be charged in a well
ventilated area.
• Do not subject this unit to excessive
smoke or dust.
• 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
• Do not tap the screen with a sharp
object as it may damage the phone.
• Do not expose the phone to liquid or
moisture.
• Use the accessories like earphones
cautiously. Do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily.
• 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.
• 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.
Efficient phone operation
Electronics devices
All mobile phones may get 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.
