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. These logs are encrypted and can only be accessed by an authorised LG Repair centre should you need to return your device for repair.

Exposure to radio frequency energy

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

This mobile phone model LG-K520 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 standardised 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 2 W/kg averaged over 10 g of tissue.
• The highest SAR value for this model phone tested for use at the ear is 0.404 W/kg (10 g) and when worn on the body is 1.110 W/Kg (10 g).

- 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. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure the above separation distance instructions are followed until the transmission is completed.

Product care and maintenance

- Always use genuine LG 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.

- Some contents and illustrations may differ from your device without prior notice.

- Do not disassemble this unit. Take it to a qualified service technician when repair work is required.

- Repairs under warranty, at LG's discretion, may include replacement parts or boards that are either new or reconditioned, provided that they have functionality equal to that of the parts being replaced.

- 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.

- Switch off the phone in any area where you are required to by special regulations. For example, do not use your phone in hospitals as it may affect sensitive medical equipment.

- 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.

- Do not charge a handset near flammable material as the handset can become hot and create a fire hazard.

- 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 phone when it is on soft furnishings.

- The phone should be charged in a well ventilated area.

- 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 accessories like earphones cautiously. Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.

- Do not use, touch or attempt to remove or fix broken, chipped or cracked glass. Damage to the glass display due to abuse or misuse is not covered under the warranty.

- Your phone is an electronic device that generates heat during normal operation. Extremely prolonged, direct skin contact in the absence of adequate ventilation may result in discomfort or minor burns. Therefore, use care when handling your phone during or immediately after operation.

- If your phone gets wet, immediately unplug it to dry off completely. Do not attempt to accelerate the drying process with an external heating source, such as an oven, microwave or hair dryer.

- The liquid in your wet phone, changes the colour of the product label inside your phone. Damage to your device as a result of exposure to liquid is not covered under your warranty.

Efficient phone operation

Electronicsdevices

All mobile phones may receive 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.
• Use your phone in temperatures between 0 °C and 40 °C, if possible. Exposing your phone to extremely low or high temperatures may result in damage, malfunction, or even explosion.

Roadsafety

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

• Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.

• 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 of particular importance when near roads.

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. Make sure that you do not turn on or off the handset close to your ear. Also, make sure that music and call volumes are set to a reasonable level.

- When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people speaking near you, or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are listening to.

- Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.

GlassParts

Some parts of your mobile device are made of glass. This glass could break if your mobile device is dropped on a hard surface or receives a substantial impact. If the glass breaks, do not touch or attempt to remove it. Stop using your mobile device until the glass is replaced by an authorised service provider.

Blastingarea

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

Potentially explosive atmospheres

LG Mobile Phone software update via Over-the-Air (OTA)

First check the software version on your mobile phone:

Anti-TheftGuide

Set up your device to prevent other people from using it if it's been reset to factory settings without your permission. For example, if your device is lost, stolen, or wiped, only someone with your Google account or screen lock information can use the device.

All you need to make sure your device is protected is:

• Set a screen lock: If your device is lost or stolen but you have a screen lock set, the device can't be erased using the Settings menu unless your screen is unlocked.
• Add your Google account on your device: If your device is wiped but you have your Google account on it, the device can't finish the setup process until your Google account information is entered again.

After your device is protected, you'll need to either unlock your screen or enter your Google account password if you need to do a factory reset. This ensures that you or someone you trust is doing the reset.

- Do not forget your Google account and password you had added to your device prior to performing a factory reset. If you can't provide the account information during the setup process, you won't be able to use the device at all after performing the factory reset.
