Guidelines for safe and efficient use
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 GU290f
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 assure 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 2W/kg averaged over
10g of tissue.
• The highest SAR value for this
model phone tested by DASY4 for
use at the ear is 1.12 W/kg (10
g) and when worn on the body is
1.55 W/Kg (10 g).
• The SAR limit recommended
by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is 1.6
W/kg averaged over 1g of tissue.

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.
• 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 by special
regulations. For example, do not
6
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.
• Do not tap the screen with a sharp
object as it may damage the
phone.
• Do not expose the phone to liquid,
moisture or humidity.
• Minor interference may affect TVs,
radios, PCs, etc.
Pacemakers
• Do not use the phone or
accessories in places with
high humidity such as pools,
greenhouses, solariums or
tropical environments; it may
cause damage to the phone and
invalidation of warranty.
Pacemaker manufacturers
recommend that a minimum
separation of 15cm be maintained
between a mobile phone and
a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. To
achieve this use the phone on the
opposite ear to your pacemaker and
do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Efficient phone operation
Hospitals
Electronic and medical
devices
Switch off your wireless device when
requested to do so in hospitals,
clinics or health care facilities. These
requests are designed to prevent
possible interference with sensitive
medical equipment.
All mobile phones may get
interference, which could affect
performance.
• Do not use your mobile phone
near medical equipment.
Avoid placing the phone over
pacemakers, for example, in your
breast pocket.
• Mobile phones may interfere with
some hearing aids.
7
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
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.
• Use a hands-free kit, if available.
• 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.
• If your vehicle is equipped
with an airbag, ensure it is not
obstructed by your mobile device
or accessories. It may fail or cause
a serious injury if obstructed when
deployed.
8
• If you are listening to music while
out and about, please ensure that
the volume is at a reasonable
level so that you are aware of your
surroundings. This is particularly
important when near roads.
Avoid damage to your
hearing
Damage to your hearing can occur
if you are exposed to loud sound for
long periods of time. We therefore
recommend that you do not turn on
or off the handset close to your ear.
We also recommend that music and
call volumes are set to a reasonable
level.
Glass Parts
Some parts of your mobile device are
made of glass. This glass could break
if your mobile device is dropped on a
hard surface or receives a substantial
impact. If the glass breaks, do not
touch or attempt to remove. Stop
using your mobile device until the
glass is replaced by an authorised
service centre.
Blasting area
Do not use the phone where blasting
is in progress. Observe restrictions,
and follow any regulations or rules.
Potentially explosive
atmospheres
• Do not use the phone at a
refueling point.
• Do not use near fuel or chemicals.
• Do not transport or store
flammable gas, liquid, or
explosives in the same
compartment of your vehicle
as your mobile phone and
accessories.
In aircraft
Wireless devices can cause
interference in aircraft.
Emergency calls
Emergency calls may not be
available under all mobile networks.
Therefore, you should never depend
solely on the phone for emergency
calls. Check with your local service
provider.
• Use your wireless phone to call
emergency services for yourself or
others.
In the case of fire, traffic accident
or medical emergencies;
• Australia: Dial
0-0-0,
•
New Zealand: Dial 1-1-1,
•
International: Dial 1-1-2,
• Turn your mobile phone off before
boarding any aircraft.
•
other local emergency number.
• Do not use it on the ground
without permission from the crew.
Remember, it is a free call on your
wireless phone for emergency
services.
Children
Keep the phone in a safe place
out of the reach of small children.
It includes small parts which may
cause a choking hazard if detached.
• Use your wireless phone to help
others in emergencies, if you see
an accident in progress or other
serious emergency where lives
are in danger, call the emergency
number, as you would want others
to do for you.
9
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Battery information and
care
• You do not need to completely
discharge the battery before
recharging. Unlike other battery
systems, there is no memory
effect that could compromise the
battery’s performance.
• Use only LG batteries and
chargers. LG chargers are
designed to maximize the battery
life.
• Do not disassemble or shortcircuit
the battery pack.
• Keep the metal contacts of the
battery pack clean.
• Replace the battery when it
no longer provides acceptable
performance. The battery pack
maybe recharged hundreds of
times until it needs replacing.
• Recharge the battery if it has
not been used for a long time to
maximize usability.
10
• Do not expose the battery charger
to direct sunlight or use it in high
humidity, such as in the bathroom.
• Do not leave the battery in hot or
cold places, this may deteriorate
the battery performance.
• There is risk of explosion if the
battery is replaced by an incorrect
type.
• Dispose of used batteries
according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Please recycle when
possible. Do not dispose as
household waste.
• If you need to replace the battery,
take it to the nearest authorized
LG Electronics service point or
dealer for assistance.
• Always unplug the charger from
the wall socket after the phone is
fully charged to save unnecessary
power consumption of the charger.
• Actual battery life will depend on
network configuration, product
settings, usage patterns, battery
and environmental conditions.
Driver Safety Tips
When driving a car, driving is your
first responsibility. When using your
wireless phone behind the wheel of
a car, practice good common sense
and remember the following tips:
• Use a hands free device. If
possible, add an additional layer
of convenience and safety to your
wireless phone with one of the
many hands free accessories
available today.
• If possible, place calls when you
are not moving or before pulling
into traffic. Try to plan calls when
you will not be driving.
• Do not engage in stressful or
emotional conversations that may
be distracting. Make people you
are talking with aware you are
driving and suspend conversations
that have the potential to divert
your attention from the road.
• Let the person you are speaking
with know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend the call in
heavy traffic or hazardous weather
conditions.
• Do not take notes or look up
phone numbers while driving.
Jotting down a “to do” list or
flipping through your address
book takes attention away from
your primary responsibility, driving
safely.
