Declaration of Confirmation

FCC NOTICE TO USERS:

This device complies with part 15 of

 the FCC Rules.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference 

that may cause undesired operation.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer 

(or party responsible) for compliance could void the user’s authority to 

operate the equipment.

FCC Part 15.105 statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a 

Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful 

interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses 

and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in 

accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio 

communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a 

particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference 

to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning 

the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the 

interference by one or more of the following measures:

 -

Reorient or relocate the rece

iving antenna.

 -Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

 -

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to 

which the receiver is connected.

 -

Consult the dealer or an 

experienced radio/TV technician for help.

IMPORTANT NOTE: 

T

o comply with the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, no change 

to the antenna or the device is permitted. Any change to the antenna 

or the device could result in the device exceeding the RF exposure 

requirements and void the user’s authority to operate the device.

Additional Information

1. Radio frequency exposure

This 

Bluetooth

 LG Stereo Headset is a radio transmitter and receiver. When 

in operation, it communicates with a 

Bluetooth

-equipped mobile device 

by receiving and transmitting radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields 

(microwaves) in the frequency range 2402 to 2480 MHz. Your 

Bluetooth

 

headset is designed to operate in compliance with the RF exposure 

guidelines and limits set by national authorities and international health 

agencies when used with any compatible LG Electronics mobile phone.

2. 

Bluetooth connection precautions

The following environments affect the range and reception of 

Bluetooth

 signals:

 -

When walls, metal, human bodies, or other obstacles exist between the 

Bluetooth

 device and the connected device.

 -

When equipment that uses 2.4 GHz frequency signals (wireless LANs, wireless

phones, microwave ovens, etc.) is placed near the devices being used.

 -

When using a 

Bluetooth

 device (TV, laptop, etc.) other than the mobile 

phone, the sound quality may be affected by the specifications and 

performance of the device.

3. Potentially explosive atmosphere

Turn off your electronic device when in any area with a potentially 

explosive atmosphere. Although this is uncommon, your electronic device 

could generate sparks. 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 clearly marked.

4. Emergency calls

IMPORTANT!

This 

Bluetooth

 headset and the electronic device connected to the headset 

operate using radio signals and mobile and landline networks as well as 

user-programmed functions, which cannot guarantee connection under 

all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any electronic 

device for essential communications (e.g., medical emergencies). Remember,

in order to make or receive calls, the headset and the electronic device 

connected to the headset must be switched on and in a service area with 

adequate mobile signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on 

all mobile phone networks or when certain network services and/or phone 

features are in use. Check with your local service provider.

5. Battery information

A rechargeable battery has a long service life if treated properly. A new 

battery or one that has not been used for a long period of time could 

have reduced capacity the first few times it is used. Do not expose the 

battery to extreme temperatures, never above +50°C (+122°F) or below 

-10°C (+14°F). For maximum battery capacity, use the battery at room 

temperature. If the battery is used in low temperatures, the battery 

capacity will be reduced. The battery can only be charged in temperatures 

between 0°C (+32°F) and +45°C (+113°F).

6. Recycling the battery in your 

Bluetooth headset

The battery in your 

Bluetooth

 headset must be disposed of properly and 

should never be placed in municipal waste. The LG Electronics service partner 

that removes the battery will dispose of it according to local regulations.

In case rechargeable battery is included in this product, the entire device 

should be recycled in compliance with rechargeable battery recycling 

standards because of the internal battery. To dispose of properly, call 

(800) 822-8837 or visit www.call2recycle.org.

Important Safety Information

Avoiding hearing damage

Permanent hearing loss may occur if you use your headset at a high volume.

Set the volume to a safe level. Over time you can become accustomed to a 

higher volume that may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing.

If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and 

have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time that is 

required before your hearing could be affected.

Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:

• 

Limit the amount of time you use the headset at a high volume.

• 

Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.

• 

Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.

Using headsets safely

Use of headsets to listen to music while operating a vehicle is not 

recommended and is illegal in some areas. Be careful and attentive while 

driving. Stop using this device if you find it disruptive or distra

cting while 

operating any type of vehicle or performing any other activity that requires 

your full attention.
