IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read these simple guidelines. Breaking the rules may be dangerous or illegal. Further detailed information is
given in this user guide.
WARNING! Violation of the instructions may cause serious injury or death.
1. Never use an unapproved battery since this could damage the phone and/or battery and could
cause the battery to explode.
2. Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will cause the battery to explode.
3. Never store your phone in temperatures less than -4°F or greater than 122°F.
4. Do not dispose of your battery by fire or with hazardous or flammable materials.
5. When riding in a car, do not leave your phone or set up the hands-free kit near to the air bag. If
wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag is deployed, you may be seriously
injured.
6. Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.
7. Do not use the phone in areas where its use is prohibited. (For example: aircraft, hospital)
1
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct sunlight or use it in places with high
humidity, such as a bathroom.
2.Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene, thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean your
phone. This could cause a fire.
3. Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. It may harm the internal circuit boards of the
phone.
4. Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as the phone may generate sparks.
5. Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting, pulling, or heating. Do not use the plug if it
is loose as it may cause a fire or electric shock.
6. Do not place any heavy items on the power cord. Do not allow the power cord to be crimped as
it may cause electric shock or fire.
7. Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is being charged. It may cause an electric shock
or seriously damage your phone.
8. Do not disassemble the phone.
2
1. Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may short-circuit the phone and/or
cause electric shock or fire.
2. Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your body during a call.
3. 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.
4. Store the battery out of reach of children.
5. Be careful that children do not swallow any parts. This could cause asphyxiation or suffocation
resulting in serious injury or death.
6. Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning storms to avoid electric shock or fire.
7. Only use the batteries and chargers provided by LG. The warranty will not be applied to products
provided by other suppliers.
8. Only authorized personnel should service the phone and its accessories. Faulty installation or

wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones

does not produce heating effects causes no known
adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF
exposures have not found any biological effects.
Some studies have suggested that some biological

other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing
those studies, or in determining the reasons for
inconsistent results.

radiation-emitting consumer products such as wireless
phones before they can be sold, as it does with new
drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has

exposure from wireless phones poses a health

The FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology
Program and with groups of investigators around the
world to ensure that high priority animal studies are
conducted to address important questions about the
effects of exposure to radio frequency energy (RF).
The FDA has been a leading participant in the World
Health Organization International Electromagnetic

7. How can I find out how much radio frequency
energy exposure I can get by using my wireless
phone?
All phones sold in the United States must comply
with Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
guidelines that limit radio frequency energy (RF)
exposures. The FCC established these guidelines in
consultation with the FDA and the other federal
health and safety agencies. The FCC limit for RF
exposure from wireless telephones is set at a Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram
(1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent with the
safety standards developed by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the
National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurement. The exposure limit takes into

The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) is developing a technical standard for
If there is a risk from these products — and at this
point we do not know that there is — it is probably
very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding
even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps
to minimize your exposure to radio frequency energy
(RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure
a person receives, reducing the amount of time spent
using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure. If you
must conduct extended conversations by wireless
phone every day, you could place more distance
between your body and the source of the RF, since
the exposure level drops off dramatically with
measuring the radio frequency energy (RF) exposure
from wireless phones and other wireless handsets
with the participation and leadership of FDA
scientists and engineers. The standard,
“Recommended Practice for Determining the Spatial-
Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human
Body Due to Wireless Communications Devices:
Experimental Techniques,” sets forth the first
consistent test methodology for measuring the rate
at which RF is deposited in the heads of wireless
phone users. The test method uses a tissue-simulating
model of the human head. Standardized SAR test
methodology is expected to greatly improve the
consistency of measurements made at different
laboratories on the same phone. SAR is the
distance. For example, you could use a headset and
carry the wireless phone away from your body or use
a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna.

10. What about children using wireless phones?
11. What about wireless phone interference with
medical equipment?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to
users of wireless phones, including children and
teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower
exposure to radio frequency energy (RF), the
measures described above would apply to children
and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the
time of wireless phone use and increasing the
distance between the user and the RF source will
reduce RF exposure. Some groups sponsored by
other national governments have advised that
children be discouraged from using wireless phones
at all. For example, the government in the United
Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a
recommendation in December 2000. They noted
that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone
causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their
recommendation to limit wireless phone use by
children was strictly precautionary; it was not based
on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.
Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones
can interact with some electronic devices. For this
reason, the FDA helped develop a detailed test
method to measure electromagnetic interference
(EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and
defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test
method is now part of a standard sponsored by the
Association for the Advancement of Medical
instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort
by the FDA, medical device manufacturers, and many
other groups, was completed in late 2000. This
standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from
wireless phone EMI. The FDA has tested hearing aids
for interference from handheld wireless phones and
helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by
the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and
performance requirements for hearing aids and
wireless phones so that no interference occurs when
a person uses a “compatible” phone and a
“compatible” hearing aid at the same time. This
