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 mobile phone model LG-H815T 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 10 g of tissue.
The highest SAR value for this model phone tested for use at the ear is
•
0.618 W/kg (10 g) and when worn on the body is 0.436 W/Kg (10 g).
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
4
•
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.

Battery information and care
•
You do not need to completely discharge the battery before recharging. Unlike
other battery systems, there is no memory effect that could compromise the
battery's performance.
Use only LG batteries and chargers. LG chargers are designed to maximise the
•
battery life.
•
Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
Keep the metal contacts of the battery clean.
Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. The
•
•
battery pack may be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing.
Recharge the battery if it has not been used for a long time to maximise usability.
Do not expose the battery charger to direct sunlight or use it in high humidity, such
•
•
as in the bathroom.
Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, as this may deteriorate battery
•
performance.
•
There is risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. Please
•
recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
If you need to replace the battery, take it to the nearest authorised LG Electronics
•
service point or dealer for assistance.
Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to
•
save unnecessary power consumption of the charger.
Actual battery life will depend on network configuration, product settings, usage
•
patterns, battery and environmental conditions.
Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal's teeth or nails, come into
•
contact with the battery. This could cause a fire.

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.
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.

Precautions for use of leather back cover
•
Some parts of this product may be made of cattle hide and may have different
creases and patterns due to the properties of natural leather. If the product gets
wet with any liquid (water, soda, seawater, rain, sweat, sunscreen, cosmetics,
moisture, etc.), it may lose colour, change colour, or deform in shape.
•
When this product gets wet or contaminated, get rid of the water by pressing it
gently with a dry towel, or wipe it with leather cream and leave it to dry in shade.
When the product is exposed to a wet environment for a long time, it may cause
creases or mould. The shape of the leather may not be restored to its original
state after cleaning because of the properties of leather, and any contamination or
deformity may get worse when using regular detergent or an organic solvent.
•
When the leather is wet with rain or sweat, use caution and avoid contact with
clothes. It can cause any dye to become a stain.
Due to the nature of leather, friction for long periods of time or excessive force may
•
damage the surface of the leather.
