Guidelines for safe and efficient use Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal. Should a fault occur, a software tool is built into your device that will gather a fault log. This tool gathers only data specific to the fault, such as signal strength, cell ID position in sudden call drop and applications loaded. The log is used only to help determine the cause of the fault.
• This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position against the ear or when positioned at least 5 mm away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn operation, it should not contain metal and should position the product at least 5 mm away from your body. In order to transmit data files or messages, this device requires a quality connection to the network.
• Use a dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit (do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner or alcohol). • Do not charge the device when it is on soft furnishings. • The device should be charged in a well ventilated area. • Do not subject this unit to excessive smoke or dust. • Do not keep the device next to credit cards or transport tickets; it can affect the information on the magnetic strips. • Do not tap the screen with a sharp object as it may damage the device.
Efficient device operation Electronics devices All devices may receive interference, which could affect performance. • Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without requesting permission. Please consult your doctor to determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the operation of your medical device. • Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that you leave at least 15 cm of space between other devices and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
Avoid damage to your hearing To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods. Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed to loud sound for long periods of time. We therefore recommend that you do not turn on or off the handset close to your ear. We also recommend that music and call volumes are set to a reasonable level.
In aircraft Wireless devices can cause interference in aircraft. • Turn your device off before boarding any aircraft. • Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew. Children Keep the device in a safe place out of the reach of small children. It includes small parts which may cause a choking hazard if detached. Emergency calls Emergency calls may not be available on all mobile networks. Therefore you should never depend solely on your device for emergency calls.
• Do not expose the battery charger to direct sunlight or use it in high humidity, such as in the bathroom. • Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, as this may deteriorate battery performance. • Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. • If you need to replace the battery, take it to the nearest authorised LG Electronics service point or dealer for assistance.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that have the potential to divert your attention from the road. • Use your mobile phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call the emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.
