Safety information
Before turning on your product, review the basic safety information provided here.
General safety & handling
While using your product, be aware of the following common-sense guidelines.
Your environment
• Safe operating temperatures. Use and store your product in temperatures between 0°C/32°F and
40°C/104°F. Exposing your product to extremely low or high temperatures may result in damage, malfunction,
or even explosion.
• While driving. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. Using a mobile device or accessory for a
call or other application while driving may cause distraction. Keep your eyes on the road.
• Around explosives. Do not use in areas where sparks from the product might cause a fire or explosion.
• On airplanes. Observe all rules and instructions for use of electronic devices. Most airlines allow electronic
use only between and not during takeoffs and landings. There are three main types of airport security devices:
X-ray machines (used on items placed on conveyor belts), magnetic detectors (used on people walking
through security checks), and magnetic wands (hand-held devices used on people or individual items). You can
pass your product through airport X-ray machines. But do not send it through airport magnetic detectors or
expose it to magnetic wands.
• Always follow any special regulations in a given area. Turn your device off in areas where use is forbidden or
when it may cause interference or danger.
• Changing the wrist straps to metal straps might cause Bluetooth connectivity problem.
Safety tips
WARNING: The charging cradle contains strong magnets that may interfere with pacemakers, credit cards,
watches, and other magnet-sensitive objects.

Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information.
This product 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 product transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all used frequency bands.
• While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various LG product 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 for the Mouth SAR or 4.0 W/kg averaged over 10g of tissue for the
Limb-worn SAR.
• The highest SAR value for this model product when tested for use at Next-to-Mouth(Face) is 0.066 W/kg
(10g) and for Limb-worn(Wrist) is 0.444 W/kg (10g).
• This device was tested for typical Limb-worn(Wrist) operations kept 0 cm between the user’s body(Wrist)
and the back of the device. Additionally this device was tested for typical Next-to-Mouth(Face) operations
with the front of the device kept 1 cm between the user’s mouth(Face) and the front of the device. To
ensure compliance with R&TTE SAR requirements, please ensure a minimum separation distance of 1 cm
is maintained for next-to-mouth (face) operations.
