Additional Information
1. Radio frequency exposure
This Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Headset HBS-912 is a radio transmitter and receiver. When in
operation it communicates with a Bluetooth equipped mobile device by receiving and transmitting
radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic elds (microwaves) in the frequency range 2.4 to 2.4835 GHz.
Your Bluetooth headset is designed to operate in compliance with the RF exposure guidelines and
limits set by national authorities and international health agencies when used with any compatible
LG Electronics mobile phone.
2. Bluetooth Connection Precautions
The following environments affect the range and reception of Bluetooth signals:
- When walls, metal, human bodies, or other obstacles exist between the Bluetooth device and
the connected device
- When equipment that uses 2.4 GHz frequency signals (Wireless LANs, wireless phones,
microwave ovens, etc.) is placed near the devices being used
3. Potentially explosive atmosphere
Turn off your electronic device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Although this is uncommon, your electronic device could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or re resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially
explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked.

15
ENGLISH
4. Emergency calls
IMPORTANT!
This Bluetooth headset and the electronic device connected to the headset operate using radio
signals, mobile and landline networks as well as user-programmed functions, which cannot
guarantee connection under all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any
electronic device for essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies). Remember, in order
to make or receive calls, the headset and the electronic device connected to the headset must
be switched on and in a service area with adequate mobile signal strength. Emergency calls may
not be possible on all mobile phone networks or when certain network services and/or phone
features are in use. Check with your local service provider.
5. Battery information
A rechargeable battery has a long service life if treated properly. A new battery or one that has
not been used for a long period of time could have reduced capacity the rst few times it is used.
Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures, never above +50°C (+122°F) or below
-10°C (+14°F). For maximum battery capacity, use the battery at room temperature. If the
battery is used in low temperatures, the battery capacity will be reduced. The battery can only be
charged in temperatures between +10°C (+50°F) and +45°C (+113°F).
6. Recycling the battery in your Bluetooth headset
The battery in your Bluetooth headset must be disposed of properly and should never be placed in
municipal waste. The LG Electronics service partner who removes the battery will dispose of it
according to local regulations.

Important Safety Information
Avoiding hearing damage
Permanent hearing loss may occur if you use your headset at a high volume.
Set the volume to a safe level. Over time you can become accustomed to a higher volume that may
sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing.
If you experience ringing in your ears or mufed speech, stop listening and have your hearing
checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected.
Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:
• Limit the amount of time you use the headset at high volume.
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
• Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
Using headsets safely
Use of headsets to listen to music while operating a vehicle is not recommended and is illegal in
some areas. Be careful and attentive while driving. Stop using this device if you nd it disruptive or
distracting while operating any type of vehicle or performing any other activity that requires your
full attention.
