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 LG-P880 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.
4
•The SAR limit recommended by the
International Commission on NonIonizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) is
2 W/kg averaged over 10g of tissue.
•The highest SAR value for this model
phone tested for use at the ear is
0.618 W/kg (10g) and when worn on
the body is 0.594 W/Kg (10g), which is
100% compliant with Indian Standards
and Safe.
•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.
Product care and maintenance •Switch off the phone in any area
where you are required to by special
regulations. For example, do not 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.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use
•Do not tap the screen with a sharp
object as it may damage the phone.
•Do not expose the phone to liquid or
moisture.
•Use accessories like earphones
cautiously. Do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily.
•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 phone 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 phone during or immediately after
operation.

All mobile phones may receive
interference, which could affect
performance.
•Do not use your mobile phone near
medical equipment without requesting
permission. Avoid placing the phone
6
Precautions
•Use a wireless hands-free system
(headphone, headset) with a low power
Bluetooth emitter.
•Keep your calls short or send text
message (SMS) instead. This advice
applies especially to children,
adolescents and pregnant women.
•Use the cell phone in good quality
network signal.
•People having active medical implants
should preferably keep the cell phone
at least 15cms away from the implant.
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.
•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.
NOTE: Excessive sound pressure
from earphones and headphones
can cause hearing loss.
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 it. Stop using your mobile
device until the glass is replaced by an
authorised service provider.
Blasting area
Do not use the phone where blasting is in
progress. Observe restrictions and follow
any regulations or rules.
Potentially explosive

•Do not use your phone at a refueling
point.
•Do not use near fuel or chemicals.
