    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 authorized LG Repair centre should you need to return your device for repair. Exposure to radio frequency energy Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information. This mobile phone model LG-H955 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 (SAR). Tests for SAR are conducted using standardised 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 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 10g of tissue. The highest SAR value for this model phone tested for use at the ear is 0.471 W/ • kg (10 g) and when worn on the body is 0.418 W/Kg (10 g). Guidelines for safe and efficient use...
