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 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 tablet device model LG-V500 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 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 device when worn on the
body, as described in this user guide, is 0.720 W/kg.
• This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used
either in the normal use position against the ear or when
positioned at least 0.00 cm away from the body. When
a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
• If you are listening to music whilst out and about, please
ensure that the volume is at a reasonable level so that
you are aware of your surroundings. This is of particular
importance when near roads.
Avoid damage to your hearing
NOTE: Excessive sound pressure from earphones and
headphones can cause hearing loss.
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen
at high volume levels for long periods.
• Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed
to loud sound for long periods of time. We therefore
recommend that you do not turn on or off the tablet close
to your ear. We also recommend that music volumes are set
to a reasonable level.
• 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.
Glass Parts
Some parts of your tablet device are made of glass. This glass
could break if your device is dropped on a hard surface or
receives a substantial impact. If the glass breaks, do not touch
or attempt to remove it. Stop using your device until the glass
is replaced by an authorised service provider.
Blasting area
Do not use the tablet where blasting is in progress. Observe
restrictions and follow any regulations or rules.
operation, it should not contain metal and should position
the product at least 0.00 cm away from your body.
In order to transmit data files, this device requires a quality
connection to the network. In some cases, transmission
of data files may be delayed until such a connection is
available. Ensure the above separation distance instructions
are followed until the transmission is completed.
