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.
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)
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 (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. An emergency call can be made only within a service
area. For an emergency call, make sure that you are
within a service area and that the phone is turned on. 3
