Safety Guidelines
• 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. (Ring tones, 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 ring tone to vibration so
as not to disturb others.
• Do not turn your phone on or off when
putting it near 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.
• Do not attempt to repair or modify the
device yourself. Your device is equipped
with an internal rechargeable battery
which should be replaced only by LG
or an authorized LG repair center.
You should never attempt to open or
disassemble this device yourself and
doing so may cause damage that voids
your warranty.

1. Do wireless phones pose a health
hazard?
The available scientific evidence does
not show that any health problems are
associated with using wireless phones.
There is no proof, however, that wireless
phones are absolutely safe. Wireless
phones emit low levels of radio frequency
energy (RF) in the microwave range while
being used. They also emit very low levels
of RF when in the 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.
