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

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.

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.

consultation with the FDA and the other  
Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical  
standard for measuring the Radio  
federal health and safety agencies. The FCC  
limit for RF exposure from wireless phones  
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 consideration the body’s  
ability to remove heat from the tissues that  
absorb energy from the wireless phone and  
is set well below levels known to have  
Frequency (RF) energy 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:

first consistent test methodology for  
measuring the rate at which RF is

expected to greatly improve the

exposure from wireless phone use.  
10. What about children using wireless  
phones?  
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 (RF) energy. 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 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. Again, the  
scientific data do not demonstrate that  
wireless phones are harmful. But if you are  
concerned about the RF exposure from  
these products, you can use measures like  
those described above to reduce your RF  
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 (RF) energy, 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.

10 Driver Safety Tips  
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful  
ability to communicate by voice almost  
anywhere, anytime. An important  
responsibility accompanies the benefits of  
wireless phones, one that every user must  
uphold.  
3. Make sure you place your wireless  
phone within easy reach and where you  
can reach it without removing your eyes  
from the road. If you get an incoming  
call at an inconvenient time, if possible,  
let your voicemail answer it for you.  
When operating a car, driving is your first  
responsibility. When using your wireless  
phone behind the wheel of a car, practice  
good common sense and remember the

Stressful or emotional conversations and  
driving do not mix; they are distracting  
and even dangerous when you are  
behind the wheel of a car. Make people  
you are talking with aware you are  
driving and if necessary, suspend  
a driver, your first responsibility is to pay  
attention to the road.  
5. Don’t take notes or look up phone  
numbers while driving. If you are reading  
an address book or business card, or  
writing a “to-do” list while driving a car,  
you are not watching where you are  
going. It is common sense. Do not get  
caught in a dangerous situation because  
you are reading or writing and not  
paying attention to the road or nearby  
vehicles.  
conversations which have the potential  
to divert your attention from the road.  
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help.  
Your wireless phone is one of the  
greatest tools you can own to protect  
yourself and your family in dangerous  
situations -- with your phone at your  
side, help is only three numbers away.  
Dial 911 or other local emergency  
number in the case of fire, traffic  
accident, road hazard, or medical  
emergency. Remember, it’s a free call on  
your wireless phone!  
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if  
possible, place calls when you are not  
moving or before pulling into traffic. Try  
to plan your calls before you begin your  
trip or attempt to coincide your calls  
with times you may be stopped at a  
stop sign, red light, or otherwise  
9. Use your wireless phone to help others  
in emergencies. Your wireless phone  
provides you a perfect opportunity to  
be a “Good Samaritan” in your  
stationary. But if you need to dial while  
driving, follow this simple tip -- dial only  
a few numbers, check the road and your  
mirrors, then continue.

This Model Phone Meets the  
Government’s Requirements for Exposure  
to Radio Waves. Your wireless phone is a  
radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed  
and manufactured not to exceed the  
emission limits for exposure to  
radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the  
Federal Communications Commission  
(FCC) of the U.S. Government. These FCC  
exposure limits are derived from the  
recommendations of two expert  
organizations, the National Counsel on  
Radiation Protection and Measurement  
(NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and  
Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases,  
the recommendations were developed by  
scientific and engineering experts drawn  
from industry, government, and academia  
after extensive reviews of the scientific  
literature related to the biological effects of  
RF energy.  
The above tips are meant as general  
guidelines. Before deciding to use your  
mobile device while operating a vehicle, it  
is recommended that you consult your  
applicable jurisdiction’s local laws or other  
regulations regarding such use. Such laws  
or other regulations may prohibit or  
otherwise restrict the manner in which a  
driver may use his or her phone while  
operating a vehicle.

phones employs a unit of measurement
