Batteries should be disposed off in accordance with relevant legislation. 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 qualied service technician when repair work is required. The unit should be kept away from heat sources such as radiators or cookers. Use a dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit. (Do not use any solvents.) Do not keep the phone next to credit cards or transport tickets; it can affect the information on the magnetic strips. Guidelines for safe and efcient use (Continued) Exposure to radio frequency energy Radio wave exposure and Specic Absorption Rate (SAR) information This mobile phone model has been designed to comply with applicable safety requirement for exposure to radio waves. This requirement is based on scientic guidelines that include safety margins designed to ensure safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standardized methods with the phone transmitting at its highest certied power level in all used frequency bands. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of 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 2W/kg averaged over ten (10) gram of tissue. The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by DASY4 for use at the ear is 0.600 W/kg (10g). SAR data information for residents in countries/regions that have adopted the SAR limit recommended by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one (1) gram of tissue. Call history Menu 3 You can check the record of missed, received, and dialled calls only if the network supports the Calling Line Identication (CLI) within the service area.
