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;...
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 ZNFQ720QM. Additionally, the highest SAR values can also be found on the LG website: For Your Safety...
. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at http://www.ctia.org/ . * 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.

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.

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.
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.

• 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).

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.
Only use the battery for the system for which it is specified. (Can be removed) • Only use the device with an LG charging system that has been qualified with the device, per CTIA Certification Requirements for Battery System Compliance to IEEE1725.
• Insert the battery charger vertically into the wall power socket. • Only use the LG-approved battery charger. Otherwise, you may cause serious damage to your device. • Use the correct adapter for your device when using the battery charger abroad.
Your device has an internal battery. For your safety, do not remove the battery inside the product. If you need to replace the battery, take it to the nearest authorized LG Electronics service point or dealer for assistance. Explosion, Shock, and Fire Hazards •...
Using the device in proximity to receiving equipment (i.e., TV or radio) may cause interference to the device. • Do not immerse your device in water, liquid, or expose to high humidity. Immediately, take it to an LG Authorized Service Center. • Do not paint your device. •...
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.

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.
Page 156
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.
Page 157
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.
Page 158
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.

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.

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.
