  • Page 7: Guidelines For Safe And Efficient Use

    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-D315k 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 10 g of tissue. The highest SAR value for this model phone tested for use at the ear is 0.445 W/kg • (10 g) and when worn on the body is 0.523 W/Kg (10 g). This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position • against the ear or when positioned at least 1.5 cm away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn operation, it should not contain metal and...

  • Page 9 Do not charge a handset near flammable material as the handset can become hot and • create a fire hazard. Use a dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit (do not use solvents such as benzene, • thinner or alcohol). Do not charge the phone when it is on soft furnishings. • The phone should be charged in a well ventilated area. • Do not subject this unit to excessive smoke or dust. • Do not keep the phone next to credit cards or transport tickets; it can affect the • information on the magnetic strips. Do not tap the screen with a sharp object as it may damage the phone. • Do not expose the phone to liquid or moisture. • Use accessories like earphones cautiously. Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily. • Do not use, touch or attempt to remove or fix broken, chipped or cracked glass. Damage • to the glass display due to abuse or misuse is not covered under the warranty. 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. If your phone gets wet, immediately unplug it to dry off completely. Do not attempt • to accelerate the drying process with an external heating source, such as an oven, microwave or hair dryer. The liquid in your wet phone, changes the color of the product label inside your phone. • Damage to your device as a result of exposure to liquid is not covered under your warranty.

  • Page 10: Efficient Phone Operation

    Efficient phone operation Electronics devices All mobile phones may receive interference, which could affect performance. Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without requesting permission. • Avoid placing the phone over pacemakers, for example, in your breast pocket. Some hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile phones. • Minor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs etc. • Use your phone in temperatures between 0 ºC and 40 ºC, if possible.

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.

  • Page 11: Avoid Damage To Your Hearing

    Avoid damage to your hearing 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 handset close to your ear. We also recommend that music and call 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. NOTE: Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss Glass Parts Some parts of your mobile device are made of glass. This glass could break if your mobile 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 mobile device until the glass is replaced by an authorised service provider. Blasting area Do not use the phone where blasting is in progress. Observe restrictions and follow any regulations or rules.

  • Page 13: Battery Information And Care

    Battery information and care You do not need to completely discharge the battery before recharging. Unlike other • battery systems, there is no memory effect that could compromise the battery's performance. Use only LG batteries and chargers. LG chargers are designed to maximise the battery • life. Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery. • Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. The battery pack • may be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing. Recharge the battery if it has not been used for a long time to maximise usability. • Do not expose the battery charger to direct sunlight or use it in high humidity, such as in • the bathroom. Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, as this may deteriorate battery • performance. There is risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type. • Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. Please recycle • when possible. Do not dispose as household waste. If you need to replace the battery, take it to the nearest authorised LG Electronics service • point or dealer for assistance. Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to save • unnecessary power consumption of the charger.

  • Page 14: Driver Safety Tips

    Driver Safety Tips Your mobile telephone gives you the powerful ability to communicate almost anywhere, anytime, but an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of mobile phones, one that every user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When using your mobile phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and remember the following tips: Use a hands free device to add an additional layer of convenience and safety to your • wireless phone with one of the many hands free accessories available today. Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call • in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even heavy traffic can be hazardous. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Typing up a “to do” list or • flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility of driving safely. Place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when • you will not be driving. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make • people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that have the potential to divert your attention from the road. Use your mobile phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime • in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call the emergency number, as you would want others to do for you. If you see a broken down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a • minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance, local traffic authority or police station.
