For more information about using this function, please visit
http://www.lg.com/common/index.jsp, select your country and language.
This feature allows you to conveniently update the firmware on your phone
to a newer version from the Internet without needing to visit a service
centre. This feature will only be available if and when LG makes a newer
firmware version available for your device.
Because the mobile phone firmware update requires the user’s full
attention for the duration of the update process, please make sure you
check all instructions and notes that appear at each step before proceeding.
Please note that removing the USB cable during the upgrade may seriously
damage your mobile phone.

Anti-Theft Guide
You can 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.
NOTE Do not forget the 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.

FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING! Read this information before operating the device.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the
United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted an
updated safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both
U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this device complies
with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
Safety
160
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical use with the back of the device kept 0.39
inches (1.0 cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) must
be maintained between the user’s body and the back of the device. Any
belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components
may not be used. Avoid the use of accessories that cannot maintain 0.39
inches (1.0 cm) distance between the user’s body and the back of the
device and have not been tested for compliance with FCC RF exposure
limits.
Consumer Information about Radio Frequency
Emissions
Your wireless device, which contains a radio transmitter and receiver,
emits radio frequency energy during use. The following consumer
information addresses commonly asked questions about the health
effects of wireless devices.
Are wireless devices safe?
Scientific research on the subject of wireless devices and radio frequency
(“RF”) energy has been conducted worldwide for many years, and
continues. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)
and the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) set policies and
procedures for wireless devices. The FDA issued a website publication on
health issues related to cell phone usage where it states, “The scientific
community at large… believes that the weight of scientific evidence does
not show an association between exposure to radiofrequency (RF) from cell
phones and adverse health outcomes. Still the scientific community does
recommend conducting additional research to address gaps in knowledge.”
That research is being conducted around the world and FDA continues to
monitor developments in this field. You can access the joint FDA/FCC
website at http://www.fda.gov (under “c” in the subject index, select Cell
Phones > Research). You can also contact the FDA toll-free at (888) 463-
6332 or (888) INFO-FDA.
Safety 161
In June 2000, the FDA entered into a cooperative research and
development agreement through which additional scientific research is
being conducted. The FCC issued its own website publication stating that
“there is no scientific evidence that proves that wireless device usage can
lead to cancer or a variety of other problems, including headaches, dizziness
or memory loss.” This publication is available at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/
cellular.html or through the FCC at (888) 225-5322 or (888) CALL-FCC.
What does “SAR” mean?
In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, and other agencies, established RF exposure safety guidelines for
wireless devices in the United States. Before a wireless device model is
available for sale to the public, it must be tested by the manufacturer and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed limits established by the FCC.
One of these limits is expressed as a Specific Absorption Rate, or “SAR.”
SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy in the body. Tests
for SAR are conducted with the device transmitting at its highest power
level in all tested frequency bands. Since 1996, the FCC has required that
the SAR of handheld wireless devices not exceed 1.6 watts per kilogram,
averaged over one gram of tissue.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest power level, the actual SAR
value of a wireless device while operating can be less than the reported
SAR value. This is because the SAR value may vary from call to call,
depending on factors such as proximity to a cell site, the proximity of the
device to the body while in use, and the use of hands-free devices.
For more information about SARs, visit the FCC website at https://www.fcc.
gov/consumers/guides/specific-absorption-ratesar-cell-phones-what-it-
means-you. You may also wish to contact the manufacturer of your device.
Can I minimize my RF exposure?
If you are concerned about RF, there are several simple steps you can take
to minimize your RF exposure. You can, of course, reduce your talk time.
You can place more distance between your body and the source of the RF,
as the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. The FDA/FCC
website states that “hands-free kits can be used with wireless devices for
Safety
162
convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF
energy in the head because the device, which is the source of the RF
emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the
device is mounted against the waist or other part of the body during use,
then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless devices
marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety requirements regardless
of whether they are used against the head or against the body. Either
configuration should result in compliance with the safety limit.” Also, if you
use your wireless device while in a car, you can use a device with an
antenna on the outside of the vehicle. You should also read and follow your
wireless device manufacturer’s instructions for the safe operation of your
device.
Do wireless devices pose any special risks to children?
The FDA/FCC website states that “the scientific evidence does not show a
danger to users of wireless communication devices, including children.” The
FDA/FCC website further states that “some groups sponsored by other
national governments have advised that children be discouraged from using
wireless devices at all.” For example, the Stewart Report from the United
Kingdom [“UK”] made such a recommendation in December 2000. In this
report a group of independent experts noted that no evidence exists that
using a cell phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. [The UK’s]
recommendation to limit cell phone use by children was strictly
precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health
hazard exists. A copy of the UK’s leaflet is available at http://www.dh.gov.uk
(search “mobile”), or you can write to: NRPB, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11
ORQ, United Kingdom. Copies of the UK’s annual reports on mobile phones
and RF are available online at http://www.hpa.org.uk/radiation/ (search
“mobile”). Parents who wish to reduce their children’s RF exposure may
choose to restrict their children’s wireless device use.

Consumer Information on SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate)
This model device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to
radio waves. Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure
to Radio Frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for
Safety
164
the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were
developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of
age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions specified by the FCC with the device transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the
device while operating can be well below the maximum value. Because the
device is designed to operate at multiple power levels to use only the
power required to reach the network, in general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a device
model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to
the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-
adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC for each model.
While there may be differences between SAR levels of various devices and
at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe
exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
emission guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with
the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.
fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID ZNFV450VM.
Additionally, the highest SAR values can also be found on the LG website:
https://www.lg.com/global/support/sar/sar
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on
the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at
http://www.ctia.org/.
Safety 165
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by
the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The
standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations in
measurements.
FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations
for Wireless Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Report and Order in WT Docket 01-309 modified the exception of wireless
devices under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to
require digital wireless devices be compatible with hearing-aids. The intent
of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable access to telecommunications
services for persons with hearing disabilities.
While some wireless devices are used near some hearing devices (hearing
aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or
whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this
interference noise, and devices also vary in the amount of interference they
generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for wireless
devices, to assist hearing device users to find devices that may be
compatible with their hearing devices. Not all devices have been rated.
Devices that are rated have the rating on their box or a label located on the
box.
The ratings are not guaranteed. Results will vary depending on the user’s
hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be
vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated device
successfully. Trying out the device with your hearing device is the best way
to evaluate it for your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Devices rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely
to generate less interference to hearing devices than devices that are not
labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
Safety
166
T-Ratings: Devices rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to
generate less interference to hearing devices than devices that are not
labeled. T4 is the better/ higher of the two ratings.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or
hearing health professional may help you find this rating. Higher ratings
mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to interference noise. The
hearing aid and wireless device rating values are then added together.
A sum of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is
considered for best use.
In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the
wireless device meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the two values equal
M5. This should provide the hearing aid user with “normal usage” while
using their hearing aid with the particular wireless device. “Normal usage”
in this context is defined as a signal quality that’s acceptable for normal
operation.
The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T mark is
intended to be synonymous with the UT mark. The M and T marks are
recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industries Solutions
(ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in Section 20.19 of the FCC
Rules. The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.
To ensure that the Hearing Aid Compatibility rating for your device is
maintained, secondary transmitters such as Bluetooth® and WLAN
components must be disabled during a call.

Caution! Avoid Potential Hearing Loss
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common
cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research suggests that
using portable audio devices, such as portable music players and cellular
telephones, at high volume settings for long durations may lead to
permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes the use of headphones
(including headsets, earbuds and Bluetooth or other wireless devices).
Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in some studies with
tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound and distorted
hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and other
potential hearing problems varies.
The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies depending
on the nature of the sound, the device, the device settings and the
headphones. You should follow some common sense recommendations
when using any portable audio device:
• Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at
which you can hear adequately.
Safety
168
• 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.
• Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose
to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, use noise-
cancelling headphones to block out background environmental noise.
• Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is
required before your hearing could be affected.
• Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as
rock concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary
hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.
• Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience
ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech or experience any temporary
hearing difficulty after listening to your portable audio device, discontinue
use and consult your doctor.
TIA Safety Information
The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless handheld
devices.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable device is a low power radio transmitter and
receiver. When ON, it receives and sends out Radio Frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted
RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless devices.
Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by
both U.S. and international standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
Safety 169
* American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection.
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of
the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers,
and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry
reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard
(C95.1).
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However,
certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless device.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6) inches be maintained between a handheld
wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent
research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the device more than six (6) inches from their
pacemaker when the device is turned ON;
• Should not carry the device in a breast pocket;
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference;
• Should turn the device OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect
that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider
(or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives).
Safety
170
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of
your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF
energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Health Care Facilities
Turn your device OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its
representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Turn your device OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your device while in the air. Switch OFF your
device before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device OFF when in
a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs
and instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn your device OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas
with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always marked
clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling areas (such as gasoline
stations); below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities;
Safety 171
vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal
powders); and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn
off your vehicle engine.
For 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.
Part 15.19 Statement
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
Part 15.21 Statement
Changes or modifications that are not expressly approved by the
manufacturer for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
Part 15.105 Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
Safety
172
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Safety 177
FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and
Radiological Health Consumer Update on Mobile Phones:
1. Do wireless devices pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems
are associated with using wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that
wireless devices are absolutely safe. Wireless devices emit low levels of
Radio Frequency (RF) energy in the microwave range while being used.
They also emit very low levels of RF when in standby mode. Whereas high
levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low
level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse
health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any
biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological
effects may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional
research. In some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in
reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons for inconsistent
results.
2. What is the FDA’s role concerning the safety of wireless devices?
Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting
consumer products such as wireless devices before they can be sold, as it
does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has
authority to take action if wireless devices are shown to emit Radio
Frequency (RF) energy at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a
case, the FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless devices to notify
users of the health hazard and to repair, replace, or recall the devices so
that the hazard no longer exists. Although the existing scientific data do not
justify FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the wireless device
industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
• Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type
emitted by wireless devices;
• Design wireless devices in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the
user that is not necessary for device function; and
Safety
178
• Cooperate in providing users of wireless devices with the best possible
information on possible effects of wireless device use on human health.
The FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies
that have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure
coordinated efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to
this working group:
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
• Environmental Protection Agency
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working
group activities, as well.
The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless devices with the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All devices that are sold in the
United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF
exposure. The FCC relies on the FDA and other health agencies for safety
questions about wireless devices.
The FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless device networks
rely upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the
wireless devices themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these
base stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they can
get from wireless devices. Base stations are thus not the subject of the
safety questions discussed in this document.
3. What kinds of devices are the subject of this update?
The term “wireless device” refers here to handheld wireless devices with
built-in antennas, often called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS” devices. These
types of wireless devices can expose the user to measurable Radio
Frequency (RF) energy because of the short distance between the device
and the user’s head.
These RF exposures are limited by FCC safety guidelines that were
developed with the advice of the FDA and other federal health and safety
Safety 179
agencies. When the device is located at greater distances from the user,
the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person’s RF exposure
decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source. The so-called
“cordless devices,” which have a base unit connected to the telephone
wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus
produce RF exposures far below the FCC safety limits.
4. What are the results of the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many
studies have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal
experiments investigating the effects of Radio Frequency (RF) energy
exposures characteristic of wireless devices have yielded conflicting results
that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies,
however, have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the
development of cancer in laboratory animals. However, many of the studies
that showed increased tumor development used animals that had been
genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to be
pre-disposed to develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure. Other
studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These
conditions are not similar to the conditions under which people use
wireless devices, so we do not know with certainty what the results of
such studies mean for human health. Three large epidemiology studies have
been published since December 2000. Between them, the studies
investigated any possible association between the use of wireless devices
and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma,
tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of
the studies demonstrated the existence of any harmful health effects from
wireless device RF exposures. However, none of the studies can answer
questions about long-term exposures, since the average period of device
use in these studies was around three years.
5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from wireless
devices poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people
actually using wireless devices would provide some of the data that are
needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few
Safety
180
years. However, very large numbers of animals would be needed to provide
reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological
studies can provide data that is directly applicable to human populations,
but ten or more years follow-up may be needed to provide answers about
some health effects, such as cancer. This is because the interval between
the time of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time tumors
develop — if they do — may be many, many years. The interpretation of
epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF
exposure during day-to-day use of wireless devices. Many factors affect this
measurement, such as the angle at which the device is held, or which
model of device is used.
6. What is the FDA doing to find out more about the possible health
effects of wireless device RF?
The FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with
groups of investigators around the world to ensure that high priority animal
studies are conducted to address important questions about the effects of
exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy.
The FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization
International Electro Magnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in
1996. An influential result of this work has been the development of a
detailed agenda of research needs that has driven the establishment of
new research programs around the world. The project has also helped
develop a series of public information documents on EMF issues.
The FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)
have a formal Cooperative Research And Development Agreement (CRADA)
to do research on wireless device safety. The FDA provides the scientific
oversight, obtaining input from experts in government, industry, and
academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through
contracts with independent investigators. The initial research will include
both laboratory studies and studies of wireless device users. The CRADA
will also include a broad assessment of additional research needs in the
context of the latest research developments around the world.
Safety 181
7. How can I find out how much Radio Frequency energy exposure I can
get by using my wireless device?
All devices sold in the United States must comply with Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit Radio Frequency
(RF) energy exposures. The FCC established these guidelines in
consultation with the FDA and the other federal health and safety agencies.
The FCC limit for RF exposure from wireless devices is set at a Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit is
consistent with the safety standards developed by the Institute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurement. The exposure limit takes into consideration
the body’s ability to remove heat from the tissues that absorb energy from
the wireless device and is set well below levels known to have effects.
Manufacturers of wireless devices must report the RF exposure level for
each model of device to the FCC. The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/
rfsafety) gives directions for locating the FCC identification number on your
device so you can find your device’s RF exposure level in the online listing.
8. What has the FDA done to measure the Radio Frequency energy
coming from wireless devices?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a
technical standard for measuring the Radio Frequency (RF) energy exposure
from wireless devices and other wireless handsets with the participation
and leadership of FDA scientists and engineers. The standard,
“Recommended Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human Body Due to Wireless
Communications Devices: Experimental Techniques,” sets forth the first
consistent test methodology for measuring the rate at which RF is
deposited in the heads of wireless device users. The test method uses a
tissue-simulating model of the human head.
Standardized SAR test methodology is expected to greatly improve the
consistency of measurements made at different laboratories on the same
device. SAR is the measurement of the amount of energy absorbed in
tissue, either by the whole body or a small part of the body. It is measured
Safety
182
in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of matter. This measurement is used to
determine whether a wireless device complies with safety guidelines.
9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to Radio Frequency
energy from my wireless device?
If there is a risk from these products — and at this point we do not know
that there is — it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about
avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize
your exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Since time is a key factor in
how much exposure a person receives, reducing the amount of time spent
using a wireless device will reduce RF exposure. If you must conduct
extended conversations by wireless device every day, you could place more
distance between your body and the source of the RF, since the exposure
level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you could use a
headset and carry the wireless device away from your body or use a
wireless device connected to a remote antenna. Again, the scientific data
does not demonstrate that wireless devices are harmful. But if you are
concerned about the RF exposure from these products, you can use
measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure from
wireless device use.
10. What about children using wireless devices?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless
devices, including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower
exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy, the measures described above
would apply to children and teenagers using wireless devices. Reducing the
time of wireless device use and increasing the distance between the user
and the RF source will reduce RF exposure. Some groups sponsored by
other national governments have advised that children be discouraged from
using wireless devices at all. For example, the government in the United
Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a recommendation in
December 2000.
They noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless device causes
brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless
Safety 183
device use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on
scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.
11. What about wireless device interference with medical equipment?
Radio Frequency (RF) energy from wireless devices can interact with some
electronic devices. For this reason, the FDA helped develop a detailed test
method to measure Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) of implanted
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test
method is now part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the
Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint
effort by the FDA, medical device manufacturers, and many other groups,
was completed in late 2000. This standard will allow manufacturers to
ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from wireless
device EMI.
The FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless
devices and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute
of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test
methods and performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless
devices so that no interference occurs when a person uses a “compatible”
device and a “compatible” hearing aid at the same time. This standard was
approved by the IEEE in 2000.
The FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless devices for possible
interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful interference be
found to occur, the FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference and
work to resolve the problem.

Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless devices in the areas
where you drive and always obey them. Also, if using your device while
driving, please observe the following:
• Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is your first responsibility;
• Use hands-free operation, if available;
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions or the law require it.
10 Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless device gives you the powerful ability to communicate by
voice almost anywhere, anytime. An important responsibility accompanies
the benefits of wireless devices, one that every user must uphold.
When operating a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your
wireless device behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense
and remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless device and its features, such as speed dial
and redial. Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take
advantage of valuable features most devices offer, including automatic
redial and memory. Also, work to memorize the device keypad so you
can use the speed dial function without taking your attention off the
road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. A number of hands-free
wireless device accessories are readily available today. Whether you
Safety 185
choose an installed mounted device for your wireless device or a speaker
phone accessory, take advantage of these devices if available to you.
3. Make sure you place your wireless device within easy reach and where
you can reach it without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an
incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible, let your voicemail
answer it for you.
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or situations.
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, and ice can be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver,
your first responsibility is to pay attention to the road.
5. Don’t take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If you are
reading an address book or business card, or writing a “to-do” list while
driving a car, you are not watching where you are going. It is common
sense. Do not get caught in a dangerous situation because you are
reading or writing and not paying attention to the road or nearby vehicles.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when you are
not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before you
begin your trip or attempt to coincide your calls with times you may be
stopped at a stop sign, red light, or otherwise stationary. But if you need
to dial while driving, follow this simple tip -- dial only a few numbers,
check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be
distracting. Stressful or emotional conversations and driving do not mix;
they are distracting and even dangerous when you are behind the wheel
of a car. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and if
necessary, suspend conversations which have the potential to divert your
attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless device to call for help. Your wireless device is one of
the greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in
dangerous situations -- with your device at your side, help is only three
numbers away. Dial 911 or another local emergency number in the case
of fire, traffic accident, road hazard, or medical emergency. Remember,
it’s a free call on your wireless device!
Safety
186
9. Use your wireless device to help others in emergencies. Your wireless
device provides you a perfect opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” in
your community. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other
serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 911 or another local
emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance
number when necessary. Certain situations you encounter while driving
may require attention, but are not urgent enough to merit a call for
emergency services. But you can still use your wireless device to lend a
hand. 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 or
other special non-emergency wireless number.
The above tips are meant as general guidelines. Before deciding to use your
mobile device while operating a vehicle, it is recommended that you consult
your applicable jurisdiction’s local laws or other regulations regarding such
use. Such laws or other regulations may prohibit or otherwise restrict the
manner in which a driver may use his or her device while operating a
vehicle.

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 of various LG
phone models, they're 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 10g
of tissue.
The highest SAR value for this model phone tested for use at the ear is:
0.437 W/Kg (10g) and when worn on the body is 1.467 W/kg (10g).
This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the
normal use position against the ear or when positioned at least 0.5 cm
away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for
bodyworn operation, it shouldn't contain metal and should position the
product at least 0.5 cm 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.

PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:
ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
IN ANY WAY TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT SHALL BE
RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, AND NOT
IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. BINDING ARBITRATION
MEANS THAT YOU AND LG ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY
TRIAL AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG
Electronics MobileComm U.S.A., Inc., its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates,
and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, beneficiaries,
predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and suppliers; references to
“dispute” or “claim” shall include any dispute, claim or controversy of any
kind whatsoever (whether based in contract, tort, statute, regulation,
ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory)
arising out of or relating in any way to the sale, condition or performance of
the product or this Limited Warranty.
Notice of Dispute. In the event you intend to commence an arbitration
proceeding, you must first notify LG in writing at least 30 days in advance
of initiating the arbitration by sending a letter to LG at LG Electronics U.S.A.,
Inc. Attn: Legal Department- Arbitration 1000 Sylvan Ave, Englewood Cliffs
07632. You and LG agree to engage in good faith discussions in an attempt
to amicably resolve your claim. The notice must provide your name,
address, and telephone number; identify the product that is the subject of
the claim; and describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought.
If you and LG are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days, either party
may proceed to file a claim for arbitration.
Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to
resolve the dispute during the 30 day period after sending written notice to
LG, you and LG agree to resolve any claims between us only by binding
arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt out as provided below. Any
dispute between you and LG shall not be combined or consolidated with a
dispute involving any other person’s or entity’s product or claim. More
specifically, without limitation of the foregoing, any dispute between you
and LG shall not under any circumstances proceed as part of a class or
LIMITED WARRANTY - USA 193
representative action. Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an
individual action in small claims court, but that small claims court action
may not be brought on a class or representative basis.
Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either
you or LG must make a written demand for arbitration. The arbitration
will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and
will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the AAA’s Consumer
Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated
(referred to as the “AAA Rules”) and under the procedures set forth in
this section. The AAA Rules are available online at
www.adr.org/consumer. Send a copy of your written demand for
arbitration, as well as a copy of this provision, to the AAA in the manner
described in the AAA Rules. You must also send a copy of your written
demand to LG at LG Electronics, U.S.A., Inc. Attn: Legal Department-
Arbitration 1000 Sylvan Avenue Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632. If there is a
conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this section,
the rules set forth in this section will govern. This arbitration provision is
governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment may be entered on
the arbitrator’s award in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues
are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope
and enforceability of the arbitration provision and to the arbitrability of
the dispute are for the court to decide. The arbitrator is bound by the
terms of this provision.
Governing Law. The law of the state of your residence shall govern this
Limited Warranty and any disputes between us except to the extent that
such law is preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal law.
Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon
receipt of your written demand for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all
arbitration filing fees to the AAA unless you seek more than $25,000 in
damages, in which case the payment of these fees will be governed by
the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for herein, LG will pay all
AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated
in accordance with the AAA Rules and this arbitration provision. If you
LIMITED WARRANTY - USA
194
prevail in the arbitration, LG will pay your attorneys’ fees and expenses
as long as they are reasonable, by considering factors including, but not
limited to, the purchase amount and claim amount. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if applicable law allows for an award of reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses, an arbitrator can award them to the same extent
that a court would. If the arbitrator finds either the substance of your
claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an
improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all arbitration fees
will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such a situation, you agree to
reimburse LG for all monies previously disbursed by it that are
otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Except as
otherwise provided for, LG waives any rights it may have to seek
attorneys’ fees and expenses from you if LG prevails in the arbitration.
Hearings and Location. If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may
choose to have the arbitration conducted solely on the basis of (1)
documents submitted to the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic hearing,
or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your
claim exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the
AAA Rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held at a location
within the federal judicial district in which you reside unless we both
agree to another location or we agree to a telephonic arbitration.
Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt
out, neither you nor LG can require the other to participate in an
arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must send notice to LG no later
than 30 calendar days from the date of the first consumer purchaser’s
purchase of the product by either: (i) sending an e-mail to optout@lge.
com, with the subject line: “Arbitration Opt Out” or (ii) calling 1-800-980-
2973. You must include in the opt out e-mail or provide by telephone: (a)
your name and address; (b) the date on which the product was
purchased; (c) the product model name or model number; and (d) the
IMEI or MEID or Serial Number, as applicable (the IMEI or MEID or
Serial Number can be found (i) on the product box; (ii) on a label on the
