Efficient Phone Operation
Electronic Devices
• Do not use your mobile phone near medical
equipment without requesting permission. Avoid
placing the phone over pacemakers, i.e. in your breast
pocket.
• Some hearing aids might experience disturbance due
to mobile phones.
• Minor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs etc.
Road Safety
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile
phones in the areas where you drive.
• Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.
• Give your full attention to driving.
• Use a hands-free kit, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering
a call if driving conditions so require.
• RF energy may affect some electronic systems in your
vehicle, such as car stereos and safety equipment.
• If your vehicle is equipped with an airbag, do
not obstruct it with installed or portable wireless
equipment. This may cause the airbag to fail or cause
serious injury due to improper performance.
• If you are listening to music while out and about,
please ensure that the volume is at a reasonable level
so that you are aware of your surroundings. This is
particularly imperative when near roads.
Avoid Damage to Your Hearing
Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed
to loud sounds for long periods of time. We therefore
recommend that you do not turn the handset on or off
when it is close to your ear. We also recommend that
music and call volumes are set to a reasonable level.
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.
Ambient Temperatures
Max.:
+55°C
Min.:

Blasting Area
Do not use the phone where blasting is in progress.
Observe restrictions, and follow the rules and regulations.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
• Do not use the phone at a refueling point.
• Do not use near fuel or chemicals.
• Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or
explosives in the same compartment of your vehicle
as your mobile phone and accessories.
In Aircraft
Wireless devices can cause interference to aircraft.
• Turn your mobile phone off before boarding any
aircraft.
• Do not use it on the aircraft without permission from
the crew.
Children
Keep the phone in a safe place out of the reach of small
children.
It includes small parts which may cause a choking hazard
if detached.
Emergency calls
Emergency calls may not be available under all mobile
networks. Therefore, you should never depend solely on
the phone for emergency calls. Use your mobile phone to
call emergency services for yourself or others in the case
of fire, traffic accident or medical emergencies;
- Australia Dial (0-0-0)
- New Zealand Dial (1-1-1)
- International Dial (1-1-2)
- other local emergency number.
Remember, it is a free call when dialling emergency
services from your mobile phone in New Zealand.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient
Use
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Radio Wave Exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Information
This LG-A353 mobile phone model has been designed
to comply with the applicable safety requirements for
exposure to radio waves. These requirements are based
on scientific guidelines that include safety margins
designed to ensure the safety of all users, regardless of
age and health.
• The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR. SAR tests are conducted using standardized
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 for 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 phone model tested by
DASY4 for use close to the ear is 1.55 W/kg (10 g), and
when worn on the body is 1.29 W/kg (10 g).
• SAR data information for residents in countries/regions
that have adopted the SAR limit recommended by the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE),
which is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 g of tissue.
Product Care and Maintenance
WARNING:
Only use batteries, chargers and
accessories approved for use with this particular
phone model. The use of any other types may
invalidate any approval or warranty applying to the
phone, and may be dangerous.
• Do not disassemble this unit. Take it to a qualified
service technician when repair work is required.
