For Your Safety

Explosion, Shock, and Fire Hazards

Do not put your phone in a place subject to excessive dust and keep

the minimum required distance between the power cord and heat
sources.

Unplug the power cord prior to cleaning your phone, and clean the

power plug pin when it’s dirty.

When using the power plug, ensure that it’s firmly connected. If not, it

may cause excessive heat or fire.

If you put your phone in a pocket or bag without covering the

receptacle of the phone (power plug pin), metallic articles (such as a
coin, paperclip or pen) may short-circuit the phone and may cause an
explosion. Always cover the receptacle when not in use.

General Notice

Do not place items containing magnetic components such as a credit

card, phone card, bank book, or subway ticket near your phone.
The magnetism of the phone may damage the data stored in the
magnetic strip.

Talking on your phone for a long period of time may reduce call quality

due to heat generated during use.

When the phone is not used for a long period time, store it in a safe

place with the power cord unplugged.

Using the phone in proximity to receiving equipment (i.e., TV or radio)

may cause interference to the phone.

Do not use the phone if the antenna is damaged. If a damaged

antenna contacts skin, it may cause a slight burn. Please contact an
LG Authorized Service Center to replace the damaged antenna.

Do not immerse your phone in water, liquid, or expose to high

humidity. Immediately, take it to an LG Authorized Service Center.

Do not paint your phone.

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 +
phone numbers. (Ringtones, text messages, voice messages, pictures,
