Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies.
Part 15.105 statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference with radio communications.
Adapter (Charger) Cautions • Using the wrong battery charger could damage your phone and void your warranty. • The adapter or battery charger is intended for indoor use only. • Do not expose the adapter or battery charger to direct sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as the bathroom. Avoid damage to your hearing • Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed to loud sounds for long periods of time.
TIA Safety Information Provided herein is the complete TIA Safety Information for Wireless Handheld phones. Inclusion of the text covering Pacemakers, Hearing Aids, and Other Medical Devices is required in the owner’s manual for CTIA Certification. Use of the remaining TIA language is encouraged when appropriate. Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver.
Driving Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless phones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please: • Give full attention to driving - driving safely is your first responsibility; • Use hands-free operation, if available; • Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require. Electronic Devices Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
Hearing Aids Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider. Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, marked clearly.
• Recharge the battery after long periods of non-use to maximize battery life. • Battery life will vary due to usage patterns and environmental conditions. • Use of extended backlighting, Media Net Browsing, and data connectivity kits affect battery life and talk/standby times. • Actual battery life will depend on network configuration, product settings, usage patterns, battery and environmental conditions.
General Notice • Using a damaged battery or placing a battery in your mouth may cause serious injury. • Do not place items containing magnetic components such as a credit card, phone card, bank book or subway ticket near your phone. The magnetism of the phone may damage the data stored in the magnetic strip. • Talking on your phone for a long period of time may reduce call quality due to heat generated during use.
FDA Consumer Update The U.S. Food and Drug Administration Centre for Devices and Radiological Health Consumer Update on Mobile Phones. 1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard? The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used.
The FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at the federal level.
4. What are the results of the research done already? The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories.
6. What is the FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of wireless phone RF? 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 radiofrequency energy (RF). The FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996.
8. What has the FDA done to measure the radiofrequency energy coming from wireless phones? The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical standard for measuring the radiofrequency energy (RF) exposure from wireless phones and other wireless handsets with the participation and leadership of FDA scientists and engineers.
10. What about children using wireless phones? 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 radiofrequency 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.
12. Where can I find additional information? Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (https://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/eng/sf09583.html) For additional information, please refer to the following resources: FDA web page on wireless phones (http://www.fda.gov/) Federal Communications Commission (FCC) RF Safety Program (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) International Commission on Non-lonizing Radiation Protection (http://www.icnirp.
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is to pay attention to the road. 5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Consumer Information on SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) 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 limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population.
Additionally, the highest SAR values can also be found on the LG website: https://www.lg.com/global/support/sar/sar. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at http://www.ctia.org/ * In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue.
Precautions when using SIM cards • Do not insert the SIM card into the device with the label or seal attached. This may cause damage. • Do not remove the SIM card while using the device. This may damage the SIM card or the system. • Take extra care to ensure that the SIM card is not scratched, bent, or damaged by magnet. This may delete files saved on the SIM card or cause device malfunctions. Precautions when using memory cards • Make sure that the orientation is correct when inserting the memory card.
