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 LG900G 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 2 W/Kg averaged over 10g of tissue.

• The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by DASY4 for use at the ear is 1.16W/Kg (10g) and when worn on the body is 0.802 W/Kg (10g).

• SAR data information for residents in countries/regions that have adopted the SAR limit recommended by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), which is 1.6 W/Kg averaged over 1g of tissue.

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.

• 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 particularly imperative 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.

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.• Turn your mobile phone off before boarding any aircraft.

• Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew.

ChildrenKeep 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.

Emergency callsEmergency 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.
