  • When the battery has reached the end of its life, dispose of it in accordance with environmental regulations. Do not dispose of your battery in household rubbish.
  • Do not immerse in water
  • Do not disassemble or modify the battery
  • Stop using the battery if abnormal heat, odour, discolouration, deformation, or abnormal conditions are detected during use, charge, or storage
  • Do not use damaged or deformed batteries. In the unlikely event of a battery leak, take care to keep the battery discharge away from your eyes or skin.
  • If the leakage does come into contact with the eyes or skin, please wash thoroughly in clean water and consult with a doctor
  • The earpiece may become warm during normal use. The handset itself may become warm while the battery is being charged
  • Use a damp or anti-static cloth to clean the handset. Do not use a dry cloth or electrostatically charged cloth. Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners as these could damage the phone
  • Retain the cardboard packing supplied with this handset. It should be used if the phone has to be returned for service. This packaging can be recycled when no longer required
  • Remember to make backup copies of all important data on your handset

Aircraft safety

In accordance with CAA regulations, you must switch off your phone on aircraft. Mobile phone signals can interfere with aircraft equipment. Follow the instructions given by airline staff at all times

Hospital safety

Switch off your phone in areas where the use of handsets is prohibited. Follow the instructions given by the respective medical facility regarding the use of handsets on their premises

General safety

  • Observe ‘Turn off 2-way radio’ signs, such as those near petrol stations, chemicals or explosives, and turn off your handset
  • Do not allow children to play with the handset, charger or batteries
  • Do not use the handset where blasting is in progress
  • The operation of some medical electronic devices, such as hearing aids and pacemakers, may be affected if a handset is used next to them. Observe any warning signs and the manufacturer's recommendations

Road safety

  • You MUST exercise the proper control of your vehicle at all times. Give your full attention to driving
  • Observe all laws in respect to the use of mobile phones when driving
  • Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call where it is safe to do so. UK law prohibits the use of hand held mobile phones when driving
  • You MUST NOT stop on the hard shoulder of a motorway to answer or make a call, except in an emergency
  • Switch off your handset at refueling points and petrol stations, even if you are not refueling your own car
  • Do not store or carry flammable or explosive materials near your handset
    • Electronic vehicle systems, such as anti-lock brakes, speed control and fuel injection systems are not normally affected by radio transmissions
  • The manufacturers of such equipment can advise if it is adequately shielded from radio transmissions. Consult your dealer and do not switch on the handset until it has been checked by qualified installers

Vehicles equipped with an air bag

An air bag inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including either installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result

Third party equipment

The use of third party equipment, cables or accessories, not made or authorized by LG, may invalidate the warranty of your handset and also adversely affect the handset's safety or operation

Service

The handset, batteries and charger contain no user-serviceable parts. LG recommend that your LG U8100 handset is serviced or repaired by an LG authorized service centre

Efficient use

The handset has an antenna. For optimum performance with minimum power consumption, please do not cover the antenna area with your hand. Covering the antenna affects call quality and may cause the handset to operate at a higher power level than required. This decreases talk and standby time.

Radio frequency energy

Your handset is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The system that handles the call (the network) controls the power level at which the handset transmits.

• Further detailed information is given in this manual.

Exposure to radio frequency energy

Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information

  • This handset model U8100 has been designed to comply with safety, requirements for exposure to radio waves. This requirement is 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 a standardized method 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 ten (10) gramme of tissue
  • The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by DASY3 for use at the ear is 1.1100 W/kg (10g)
  • The SAR limit recommended by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), which is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one (1) gramme of tissue (for example USA, Canada, Australia and Taiwan).
