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. 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.

from your wireless phone.

in the United States must comply  
with FCC safety guidelines that  
limit RF exposure. The FCC relies  
on the FDA and other health  
agencies for safety questions  
about wireless phones.  
The FCC also regulates the base  
stations that the wireless phone  
networks rely upon. While these  
base stations operate at higher  
power than do the wireless  
phones themselves, the RF  
exposures that people get from  
these base stations are typically  
thousands of times lower than  
those they can get from wireless  
phones. Base stations are thus  
not the subject of the safety  
questions discussed in this  
document.  
These RF exposures are limited  
by FCC safety guidelines that  
were developed with the advice  
of the FDA and other federal  
health and safety agencies. When  
the phone is located at greater  
distances from the user, the  
exposure to RF is drastically  
lower because a person's RF  
exposure decreases rapidly with
