• Do not use or leave the battery under the blazing sun or in heated car by sunshine. The battery may
generate heat, smoke or flame. And also, it might cause the deterioration of battery’s characteristics or
cycle life.
• The battery pack has protection circuit to avoid the danger. Do not use nearby the place where generates
static electricity more than 100V which gives damage to the protection circuit. If the protection circuit
were broken, the battery would generate smoke, rupture or flame.
• If the skin or cloth is smeared with liquid from the battery, wash with fresh water. It may cause the skin
inflammation.
• Please take your phone to an authorized service center immediately if this occurs.
• Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is being charged. It may cause an electric shock or
seriously damage your phone.
• Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may short-circuit the phone and/or cause
electric shock or fire.
• The charger and adapter are intended for indoor use only.
• Talking on your phone for a long period of time may reduce call quality due to heat generated during use.
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 important phone numbers. (Ringtones, text messages, voice messages,
pictures, and videos could also be deleted.) The manufacturer is not liable for damage due to the loss of data.
• When you use the phone in public places, set the ringtone to vibration so you don’t disturb others.
• Do not turn your phone on or off when putting it to your ear.
• Use accessories, such as earphones and headsets, with caution. Ensure that cables are tucked away
safely and do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.
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 phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using wireless
phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels
of Radio Frequency (RF) energy in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of
RF when in standby mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure
to low level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies
of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some
biological effects may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. In some
cases, other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons for
inconsistent results.
2. What is the FDA’s role concerning the safety of wireless phones?
Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products such as wireless
phones before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has
authority to take action if wireless phones are shown to emit Radio Frequency (RF) energy at a level that is
hazardous to the user. In such a case, the FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless phones to notify
users of the health hazard and to repair, replace, or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the wireless
phone industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
• Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless phones;
• Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that is not necessary for
device function; and
• Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible information on possible effects of
wireless phone use on human health.
The FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have responsibility for different
aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to this
working group:
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
• Environmental Protection Agency
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group activities, as well.
The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC). All phones that are sold in the United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF
exposure.
The FCC relies on the FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones. The FCC also
regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks rely upon. While these base stations operate
at higher power than do the wireless phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base
stations are typically thousands of times lower than those they can get from wireless phones. Base stations
are thus not the subject of the safety questions discussed in this document.
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term “wireless phone” refers here to handheld wireless phones with built-in antennas, often called
“cell”, “mobile”, or “PCS” phones. These types of wireless phones can expose the user to measurable Radio
Frequency (RF) energy because of the short distance between the phone and the user’s head.
These RF exposures are limited by FCC safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of the FDA and
other federal health and safety agencies. When the phone is located at greater distances from the user, the
exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person’s RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance
from the source. The so-called “cordless phones,” which have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring
