The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by DASY4 for use at the ear is X.XXX W/kg (10g) and when worn on the body is X.XXX W/Kg (10g). This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position against the ear or when positioned at least 1.5 cm away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn operation, it should not contain metal and should position the product at least 1.5 cm away from your body. In order to transmit data files or messages, this device requires a quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure the above separation distance instructions are followed until the transmission is completed. Guidelines for safe and ef cient use Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal. Exposure to radio frequency energy Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information. This mobile phone model LG-E975K has been designed to comply with applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. These requirements are based on scientific guidelines that include safety margins designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). Tests for SAR are conducted using standardised 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 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 4 FCC SAR information Your mobile device is also designed to meet the requirements for exposure to radio waves established by the Federal Communications Commission (USA) and Industry Canada. These requirements set a SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of tissue. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certifi cation for use at the ear is X.XX W/kg and when properly worn on the body is X.XX W/kg. Additionally, this device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 1cm (0.39 inches) between the users body and the back of the phone. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 1cm (0.39 inches) must be maintained between the users body and the back of the phone. This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position against the ear or when positioned at least 1.5 cm away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn operation, it should not contain metal and should position the product at least 1.5 cm away from your body. In order to transmit data files or messages, this device requires a quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure the above separation distance instructions are followed until the transmission is completed. The highest SAR value for this device when tested for use at the body is X.XXX W/kg.

* The SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0 watts/ kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of body tissue. The guidelines incorporate a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting requirements and the network band. 5 Guidelines for safe and ef cient use or fix broken, chipped or cracked glass. Damage to the glass display due to abuse or misuse is not covered under the warranty. Your phone is an electronic device that generates heat during normal operation. Extremely prolonged, direct skin contact in the absence of adequate ventilation may result in discomfort or minor burns. Therefore, use care when handling your phone during or immediately after operation. If your phone gets wet, immediately unplug it to dry off completely. Do not attempt to accelerate the drying process with an external heating source,such as an oven, microwave or hair dryer. The liquid in your wet phone, changes the color of the product label inside your phone. Damage to your device as a result of exposure to liquid is not covered under your warranty. Efficient phone operation Electronics devices All mobile phones may receive interference, which could affect performance. Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without requesting permission. Avoid placing the phone over pacemakers, for example, in your breast pocket. Some hearing aids might be disturbed by 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 area when you drive. Do not use a hand-held phone while driving. Give full attention to driving. 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. When your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do not obstruct with installed or portable wireless equipment. It can cause the air bag to fail or cause serious injury due to improper performance. If you are listening to music whilst out and about, please ensure that the volume is at a reasonable level so that 6 you are aware of your surroundings. This is of particular importance when near roads. Avoid damage to your hearing To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed to loud sound for long periods of time. We therefore recommend that you do not turn on or off the handset close to your ear. We also recommend that music and call volumes are set to a reasonable level. When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people speaking near you, or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are listening to. NOTE: Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss Glass Parts Some parts of your mobile device are made of glass. This glass could break if your mobile device is dropped on a hard surface or receives a substantial impact. If the glass breaks, do not touch or attempt to remove it. Stop using your mobile device until the glass is replaced by an authorised service provider. Blasting area Do not use the phone where blasting is in progress. Observe restrictions and follow any regulations or rules. Potentially explosive atmospheres Do not use your 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 or accessories. In aircraft Wireless devices can cause interference in aircraft. Turn your mobile phone off before boarding any aircraft. Do not use it on the ground without permission from the crew. 7 Guidelines for safe and ef cient use 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 on all mobile networks. Therefore you should never depend solely on your phone for emergency calls. Check with your local service provider. Battery information and care You do not need to completely discharge the battery before recharging. Unlike other battery systems, there is no memory effect that could compromise the battery's performance. Use only LG batteries and chargers. LG chargers are designed to maximise the battery life. Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery. Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. The battery pack may be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing. Recharge the battery if it has not been used for a long time to maximise usability. Do not expose the battery charger to direct sunlight or use it in high humidity, such as in the bathroom. Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, as this may deteriorate battery performance. There is risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste. If you need to replace the battery, take it to the nearest authorised LG Electronics service point or dealer for assistance. Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to save unnecessary power consumption of the charger. Actual battery life will depend on network configuration, product settings, usage patterns, battery and environmental conditions. Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animals teeth or nails, come into contact with the battery. This could cause a fire. 8 Notice!
