Important Safety Precautions  
Read these instructions. 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.

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 12F.  
4. Do not dispose of your battery by fire or with  
hazardous or flammable materials.

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.

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 (such  
as rubber plugs, earphone, connection parts of the  
phone, etc.) 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 service may result in  
accidents and consequently invalidate the warranty.  
9. Your service provider programs one or more emergency  
phone numbers, such as 911, that you can call under  
any circumstances, even when your phone is locked.  
Your phone’s preprogrammed emergency number(s) may  
not work in all locations, and sometimes an emergency  
call cannot be placed due to network, environmental, or  
interference issues.

M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or

M4 is the better/higher of the

T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or  
T4 meet FCC requirements and  
are likely to generate less  
interference to hearing devices  
than phones that are not

In the above example, if a hearing

Hearing devices may also be
