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.
Important information about the device
• Device apps and services are subject to change or cancellation without notice,
depending on the provider’s situation and the software version.

place. The first booting time may be longer than usual.
Read before use
• To purchase optional items, contact the LG Customer Information Centre for
available dealers.
• The appearance and specifications of the device are subject to change without
notice.

6Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information.
This device 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 device transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all used frequency bands.
• While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various LG device
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 tested for use at the ear is 0.500 W/kg
(10 g) and when worn on the body is 1.360 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.

Driver Safety Tips
Your mobile telephone gives you the powerful ability to communicate almost
anywhere, anytime, but an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of
mobile phones, one that every user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is
your first responsibility. When using your mobile phone behind the wheel of a car,
practice good common sense and remember the following tips:
• Use a hands free device to add an additional layer of convenience and safety
to your wireless phone with one of the many hands free accessories available
today.
• Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary,
suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet,
snow, ice and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Typing up a “to
do” list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from your
primary responsibility of driving safely.
• Place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan
calls when you will not be driving.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting.
Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend
conversations that have the potential to divert your attention from the road.
• Use your mobile phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto
12Guidelines for safe and efficient use
accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in
danger, call the emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.
• If you see a broken down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic
signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you
know to be stolen, call roadside assistance, local traffic authority or police
station.
Precautions when using SIM cards
• Do not insert the SIM card into the device with the label or seal attached. This
may cause damage.
• Do not remove the SIM card while using the device. This may damage the SIM
card or the system.
• Take extra care to ensure that the SIM card is not scratched, bent, or damaged
by magnet. This may delete files saved on the SIM card or cause device
malfunctions.
Precautions when using memory cards
• Make sure that the orientation is correct when inserting the memory card.
Inserting using the wrong orientation may damage the card.
Securing personal information
• Make sure to protect your personal information to prevent data leakage or
misuse of sensitive information.
• Always back up important data while using the device. LG is not responsible for
any data loss.

Anti-Theft Guide
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.
