Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Radio Wave Exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Information
This LG-A225 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 2 W/kg averaged over 10 g of tissue.
- The highest SAR value for this phone model tested by DASY4 for use close to the ear is 0.882 W/kg (10 g), and when worn on the body is 0.621 W/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 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 g of tissue.
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 subject this unit to mechanical vibration or shock.
-
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.
- 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.

Efficient Phone Operation
Electronic Devices
- Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without requesting permission. Avoid placing the phone over pacemakers, i.e. in your breast pocket.
• Some hearing aids might experience disturbance due to 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 where you drive.
- Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.
• Give your 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. - 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.
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.
Note: Excessive sound pressure from earphones can cause hearing loss.
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.

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.
