Warning! Important safety
information
Avoiding hearing damage
Permanent hearing loss may occur if you use your phone
and/or headset at a high volume. Set the volume to a safe
level. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound
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 is required before your hearing could be
affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:
•
Limit the amount of time you use your phone and/or
headset at 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.
For information about how to set a maximum volume limit on
your phone, see the features guide for your phone.
Using your phone safely
Use of your phone while operating a vehicle is not
recommended and is illegal in some areas. Be careful and
attentive while driving. Stop using your phone if you find it
disruptive or distracting while operating any type of vehicle
or performing any other activity that requires your full
attention.

10 Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to
communicate by voice almost anywhere, anytime. An
important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless
phones, one that every user must uphold.
When operating a car, driving is your first responsibility. When
using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice
good common sense and remember the following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as
speed dial and redial. Carefully read your instruction manual
and learn to take advantage of valuable features most
phones offer, including automatic redial and
memory. Also, work to memorize the phone keypad so you
can use the speed dial function without taking your
attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. A number of
hands-free wireless phone accessories are readily available
today. Whether you choose an installed mounted device for
your wireless phone or a speaker phone accessory, take
advantage of these devices if available to you.
3. Make sure you place your wireless phone within easy reach
and where you can reach it without removing your eyes
from the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient
time, if possible, let your voicemail answer it for you.
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions
or situations. 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, and ice
can be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver, your
first responsibility is to pay attention to the road.
5. Don’t take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If
you are reading an address book or business card, or writing
a “to-do” list while driving a car, you are not watching where
you are going. It is common sense. Do not get caught in a
dangerous situation because you are reading or writing and
not paying attention to the road or nearby vehicles.
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls
when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try
to plan your calls before you begin your trip or attempt to
coincide your calls with times you may be stopped at a stop
sign, red light, or otherwise stationary. But if you need to
dial while driving, follow this simple tip -- dial only a few
numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that
may be distracting. Stressful or emotional conversations and
driving do not mix; they are distracting and even dangerous
when you are behind the wheel of a car. Make people you
are talking with aware you are driving and if necessary,
suspend conversations which have the potential to divert
your attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wireless phone
is one of the greatest tools you can own to protect
❏

(Continued)
yourself and your family in dangerous situations -- with your
phone at your side, help is only three numbers away. Dial
100 for Police, 101 for Fire, 102 for Ambulance. Remember,
it’s a free call on your wireless phone!
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Your
wireless phone provides you a perfect opportunity to be a
“Good Samaritan” in your community. If you see an auto
accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency
where lives are in danger, call 100 for Police, 101 for Fire or
102 for Ambulance, as you would want others to do for
you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-
emergency assistance number when necessary. Certain
situations you encounter while driving may require
attention, but are not urgent enough to merit a call for
emergency services. But you can still use your wireless
phone to lend a hand. 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 or other
special non-emergency wireless number.
The above tips are meant as general guidelines. Before
deciding to use your mobile device while operating a vehicle, it
is recommended that you consult your applicable jurisdiction’s
local laws or other regulations regarding such use. Such laws
or other regulations may prohibit or otherwise restrict the
manner in which a driver may use his or her phone while
operating a vehicle.

The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue. And
the highest SAR value for this device when tested at the ear
was 1.12 W/kg and when tested at the body was 0.696 W/kg
from the test result of FCC(Federal Communications
Commission) in USA.
In view of the above results of test, mobile Model No. LG6160
is in full compliance with basic restrictions for limiting exposure
to EMF as per ICNIRP guidelines. Your wireless phone is a
radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured
not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government. These FCC
exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two
expert organizations, the National Counsel on Radiation
Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the
recommendations were developed by scientific and
engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and
academia after extensive reviews of the scientific literature
related to the biological effects of RF energy.
The exposure Limit for wireless mobile phones employs a unit
of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF
energy by the human body expressed in units of watts
per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless phones to
comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6
W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and
to account for any variations in measurements.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions specified by the FCC with the phone transmitting at
its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be
well below the maximum value. Because the phone is designed
to operate at multiple power levels to use only the power
required to reach the network, in general, the closer you are to
a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must
be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the
limit established by the government-adopted requirement for
safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and
locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC for each model.
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with
the back of the phone kept 0.79 inches (2.0 cm) between the
user’s body and the back of the phone. To comply with FCC
RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of
0.79 inches (2.0 cm) must be maintained between the user s
body and the back of the phone. Third-party belt-clips,
holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic
components should not be used. Body-worn accessories that
cannot maintain 0.79 inches (2.0 cm) separation distance
between the user's body and the back of the phone, and have
not been tested for typical body-worn operations may not
comply with FCC RF exposure limits and should be avoided.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines.
SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC
and can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID.
To find information that pertains to a particular model phone,
this site uses the phone FCC ID number which is usually printed
somewhere on the case of the phone. Sometimes it may be
necessary to remove the battery pack to find the number. Once
you have the FCC ID number for a particular phone, follow the
instructions on the website and it should provide values for
typical or maximum SAR for a particular phone.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can
be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry
Association (CTIA) website at http://www.ctia.org/
*In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged
over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for
the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
