suggestions below will help you fulfill any warranty obligations and allow you to enjoy this product for many years:
Keep your Mobile Device away from:
Liquids of any kind
Keep the mobile device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and liquids contain minerals that will corrode electronic
circuits. If the mobile device does get wet, do not accelerate drying with the use of an oven, microwave, or dryer,
because this may damage the mobile device and could cause a fire or explosion. Do not use the mobile device
with a wet hand. Doing so may cause an electric shock to you or damage to the mobile device.
Extreme heat or cold
• Avoid temperatures below 0°C /32°F or above 45°C /113°F.
• Use your phone in temperatures between 0°C /32°F and 40°C /104°F, if possible. Exposing your phone to
extremely low or high temperatures may result in damage, malfunction, or even explosion.
Microwaves
Do not try to dry your mobile device in a microwave oven. Doing so may cause a fire or explosion.
Dust and dirt

proper operation.
General Notice
• An emergency call can be made only within a service area. For an emergency call, make sure that you are
within a service area and that the phone is turned on.
• Do not place items containing magnetic components such as a credit card, phone card, bank book, or subway
ticket near your phone. The magnetism of the phone may damage the data stored in the magnetic strip.
• Talking on your phone for a long period of time may reduce call quality due to heat generated during use.
• When the phone is not used for a long period time, store it in a safe place with the power cord unplugged.
• Using the phone in proximity to receiving equipment (i.e., TV or radio) may cause interference to the phone.
• Do not use the phone if the antenna is damaged. If a damaged antenna contacts skin, it may cause a slight
burn. Please contact an LG Authorized Service Center to replace the damaged antenna.
• The data saved in your phone might be deleted due to careless use, repair of the phone, or upgrade of
the software. Please backup your important phone numbers. (Ringtones, text messages, voice messages,
pictures, and videos could also be deleted.) The manufacturer is not liable for damage due to the loss of data.
• When you use the phone in public places, set the ringtone to vibration so you don't disturb others.
• Do not turn your phone on or off when putting it to your ear.
• 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. Use accessories, such as
earphones and headsets, with caution. Ensure that cables are tucked away safely and do not touch the
antenna unnecessarily.
Part 15.19 statement
This device complies with part 15 of 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 causes undesired operation.
Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for typical use with the back of the phone kept 0.59 inches (1.5 cm) from the body. To
comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.59 inches (1.5 cm) must be
maintained between the user's body and the back of the phone. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar
accessories containing metallic components may not be used. Avoid the use of accessories that cannot maintain
0.59 inches (1.5 cm) distance between the user's body and the back of the phone and have not been tested for
compliance with FCC RF exposure limits.
Consumer Information About Radio Frequency Emissions
Your wireless phone, 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 phones.
Are wireless phones safe?
Scientific research on the subject of wireless phones 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 phones. 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. 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 phone 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 phones in the United States. Before a wireless phone
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
