Guidelines for safe and efficient use
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
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information.
This device 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 device transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all used frequency bands.
• While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various LG device
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 10 g of tissue.
• The highest SAR value for this model tested for use at the ear is 0.290 W/kg
(10 g) and when worn on the body is 1.180 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 5 mm 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 5 mm 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.

notice.
• 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 that 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 device in any area where you are required to by special
regulations. For example, do not use your device in hospitals as it may affect
sensitive medical equipment.
• Do not handle the device with wet hands while it is being charged. It may cause
an electric shock and can seriously damage your device.
• Do not charge a handset near flammable material as the handset can become
hot and create a fire hazard.

• 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 device 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
device during or immediately after operation.
• If your device gets wet, immediately unplug it to dry off completely. Do not
attempt to accelerate the drying process with an external heating source, such
as an oven, microwave or hair dryer.
• Please ensure that the product does not get in contact with liquid. Do not
use or recharge the product if it is wet. Once the product becomes wet, the
liquid damage indicator changes color. Please note that this will limit you from
receiving any free-of-charge repair services provided under warranty.
Efficient device operation
Electronics devices
All devices may receive interference, which could affect performance.
• Do not use your device near medical equipment without requesting permission.
Please consult your doctor to determine if operation of your device may
interfere with the operation of your medical device.
• Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that you leave at least 15 cm of space
between other devices and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker.
• This device may produce a bright or flashing light.
• Some hearing aids might be disturbed by devices.
• Minor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs etc.
• Use your device in temperatures between 0 ºC and 35 ºC, if possible. Exposing
your device to extremely low or high temperatures may result in damage,
malfunction, or even explosion.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Road safety
Check the laws and regulations on the use of devices in the area when you drive.
• Do not use a hand-held device 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.
• When your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do not obstruct with installed
or portable wireless equipment. It can cause the air bag to fail or cause serious
injury due to improper performance.
• If you are listening to music whilst out and about, please ensure that the volume
is at a reasonable level so that you are aware of your surroundings. This is of
particular importance when near roads.
Avoid damage to your hearing
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume
levels for long periods.
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.
• When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people
speaking near you, or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are
listening to.
• Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause
hearing loss.

Anti-Theft Guide
Set up your device to prevent other people from using it if it's been reset
to factory settings without your permission. For example, if your device is
lost, stolen, or wiped, only someone with your Google account or screen
lock information can use the device.
All you need to make sure your device is protected is:
• Set a screen lock: If your device is lost or stolen but you have a screen
lock set, the device can't be erased using the Settings menu unless
your screen is unlocked.
• Add your Google account on your device: If your device is wiped but
you have your Google account on it, the device can't finish the setup
process until your Google account information is entered again.
After your device is protected, you'll need to either unlock your screen or
enter your Google account password if you need to do a factory reset.
This ensures that you or someone you trust is doing the reset.
• Do not forget your Google account and password you had added to
your device prior to performing a factory reset. If you can't provide the
account information during the setup process, you won't be able to use
the device at all after performing the factory reset.
