Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal.

Exposure to radio frequency energy

Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information.

This mobile phone model KM501 has been designed to comply with applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. These requirements are based on scientific guidelines that include safety margins designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

• The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standardized methods with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used frequency bands.
• While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various LG phone models, they are all designed to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
• The SAR limit recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) is 2W/kg averaged over 10g of tissue.

• The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by DASY4 for use at the ear is 0.594 W/kg (10g) and when worn on the body is 0.799 W/kg (10g).
• SAR data information for residents in countries/regions that have adopted the SAR limit recommended by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), which is 0.631 W/kg averaged over 1g of tissue.

WARNING

• Mobile phones must be switched off at all times in an aircraft.
• Do not hold the phone in your hand while driving.
• Do not use your phone near petrol stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or blasting operations.
• For your safety, use ONLY specified ORIGINAL batteries and chargers.
• Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is being charged. It may cause an electric shock and can seriously damage your phone.
• Keep the phone in a safe place out of small children's reach. It includes small parts which if detached may cause a choking hazard.
• Don't charge a handset near flammable material as the handset can become hot and create a fire hazard.
• Do not charge the phone when it is on soft furnishings.
• The phone should be charged in a well ventilated area.

CAUTION

• Switch off the phone in any area where you are required by special regulations. For example, do not use your phone in hospitals as it may affect sensitive medical equipment.
• Emergency calls may not be available under all mobile networks. Therefore, you should never depend solely on the phone for emergency calls.
• Only use ORIGINAL accessories to avoid damage to your phone.
• All radio transmitters carry risks of interference with electronics in close proximity. Minor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs, etc.
• Batteries should be disposed of in accordance with relevant legislation. • Do not dismantle the phone or battery.

Only use batteries, chargers and accessories approved for use with this particular phone model. The use of any other types may invalidate any approval or warranty applying to the phone, and may be dangerous.

Product care and maintenance

WARNING!

Only use batteries, chargers and accessories approved for use with this particular phone model. The use of any other types may invalidate any approval or warranty applying to the phone, and may be dangerous.

• Do not disassemble this unit. Take it to a qualified service technician when repair work is required.
• Keep away from electrical appliances such as TVs, radios, and personal computers.
• The unit should be kept away from heat sources such as radiators or cookers.
• Do not drop.
• Do not subject this unit to mechanical vibration or shock.
• The coating of the phone may be damaged if covered with wrap or vinyl wrapper.
• Use a dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit. (Do not use solvent such as benzene, thinner or alcohol.)

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

• Do not subject this unit to excessive smoke or dust.
• Do not keep the phone 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 phone.
• Do not expose the phone to liquid or moisture.
• Use the accessories like earphones cautiously. Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.

Efficient phone operation

Electronics devices

All mobile phones may get interference, which could affect performance.

• Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without requesting permission. Avoid placing the phone over pacemakers, for example, in your breast pocket.
• Some hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile phones.
• Minor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs, etc.

Road safety

Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones in the areas when you drive.

• Do not use a hand-held phone while driving. - Give full attention to driving. - Use a hands-free kit, if available. - Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require. - RF energy may affect some electronic systems in your vehicle such as car stereos and safety equipment. - When your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do not obstruct with installed or portable wireless equipment. It can cause the air bag to fail or cause serious injury due to improper performance.

If you are listening to music whilst out and about, please ensure that the volume is at a reasonable level so that you are aware of your surroundings. This is particularly imperative when near roads.

Avoid damage to your hearing

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.

Blasting area

Do not use the phone where blasting is in progress. Observe restrictions, and follow any regulations or rules.

Potentially explosive atmospheres

• Do not use the phone at a refueling point. Do not use near fuel or chemicals.
• Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle as your mobile phone and accessories.

In aircraft

Wireless devices can cause interference in aircraft.

• Turn your mobile phone off before boarding any aircraft.
• Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew.

Children

Keep the phone 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 under all mobile networks. Therefore, you should never depend solely on the phone for emergency calls. Check with your local service provider.

Guidelines for safe and efficient use
