6
Symbol Description
This device, like any wireless device, operates using radio signals which,
by their nature, are not able to guarantee connection in all conditions.
Therefore, for emergency communications, never rely solely upon any
wireless device.
Only use approved accessories
Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be dangerous
or illegal.
Should a fault occur, a software tool is built into your device that will gather a fault log.
This tool gathers only data specific to the fault, such as signal strength, cell ID position
in sudden call drop and applications loaded.
The log is used only to help determine the cause of the fault. These logs are encrypted
and can only be accessed by an authorised LG Repair centre should you need to return
your device for repair.
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 or health.
7
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
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, 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 0.377 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 0.314 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.
8
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 0.56 W/kg and when properly worn on the body is 0.99 W/kg.
Additionally, this device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the
phone kept 1cm (0.39 inches) between the users body and the back of the phone.
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 1cm
(0.39 inches) 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.

Driver Safety Tips
Your mobile telephone gives you the powerful ability to communicate almost anywhere,
anytime, but an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of mobile phones,
one that every user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility.
When using your mobile phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense
and remember the following tips:
• Use a hands free device to add an additional layer of convenience and safety to your
wireless phone with one of the many hands free accessories available today.
• Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the
call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even
heavy traffic can be hazardous.
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Typing up a “to do”
list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary
responsibility of driving safely.
• 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.
• Use your mobile phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident,
crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call the
emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.
16
•
If you see a broken down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal,
a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be
stolen, call roadside assistance, local traffic authority or police station.

Touch screen tips
Here are some tips on how to navigate on your phone.
Tap or touch – A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts and letters on the
on-screen keyboard.
Touch and hold – Touch and hold an item on the screen by tapping it and not lifting
your finger until an action occurs. For example, to open a contact's available options,
touch and hold the contact in the Contacts list until the context menu opens.
Drag – Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger, move
your finger on the screen until you reach the target position. You can drag items on the
Home screen to reposition them.
Swipe or slide – To swipe or slide, quickly move your finger across the surface of the
screen, without pausing when you first tap it (so you don’t drag an item instead). For
example, you can slide the screen up or down to scroll through a list, or browse through
the different Home screens by swiping from left to right (and vice versa).
Double-tap – Double-tap to zoom on a webpage or a image. For example, quickly
double-tap a section of a webpage to adjust that section to fit the width of the screen.
You can also double-tap to zoom in and out while viewing the picture.
Pinch-to-Zoom – Use your index finger and thumb in a pinching or spreading motion
to zoom in or out when using the browser or Maps, or when browsing pictures.
Rotate the screen – From many applications and menus, the orientation of the screen
adjusts to the device's physical orientation.
NOTE:
• To select an item, tap the centre of the icon.
• Do not press too hard; the tap screen is sensitive enough to pick up a light,
yet firm tap.
• Use the tip of your finger to tap the option you want. Be careful not to tap
any other keys.
