Guidelines for Safe and Effici cient Use

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy

Radio Wave Exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Information

This GU230 mobile phone model has been designed to comply with the applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves.

These requirements are based on scientific guidelines that include safety margins designed to ensure the safety of all users, regardless of age and health.

  • The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. SAR tests 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 for 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 phone model tested by DASY4 for use close to the ear is 0.716W / kg (10 g), and when worn on the body is 1.06W / kg (10 g).

  • 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 1.6W / kg averaged over 1 g of tissue.

  • 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.
    If your vehicle is equipped with an airbag, do not obstruct it with installed or portable wireless equipment. This may cause the airbag to fail or cause serious injury due to improper performance.
    If you are listening to music while 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.

Guidelines for Safe and Effici cient Use (Continued)

Avoid Damage to Your Hearing

Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed to loud sounds for long periods of time. We therefore recommend that you do not turn the handset on or off when it is 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 the rules and regulations.

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 same compartment of your vehicle as your mobile phone and accessories.

In Aircraft

Wireless devices can cause interference to aircraft.

  • Turn your mobile phone off before boarding any aircraft.
  • Do not use it on the aircraft 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. You should therefore never depend solely on the phone for emergency calls. Check with your local service provider.

Battery Information and Care

  • You do not need to completely discharge the battery before recharging. Unlike other battery systems, there is no memory effect that could compromise the battery's performance.
  • Use only LG batteries and chargers. LG chargers are designed to maximize the battery life.
  • Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery pack.
  • Keep the metal contacts of the battery pack clean.
  • Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. The battery pack maybe recharged hundreds of times until it needs replacing.

Guidelines for Safe and Effici cient Use (Continued)

  • Recharge the battery if it has not been used for a long time to maximize usability.
  • Do not expose the battery charger to direct sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as in the bathroom.
  • Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, as this may deteriorate the battery performance.
  • There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
  • Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose of batteries in the household waste.

If you need to replace the battery, take it to the nearest authorized LG Electronics service point or dealer for assistance.
Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to save unnecessary power consumption of the charger.
- Actual battery life will depend on network configuration, product settings, usage patterns, battery and environmental conditions.
