Consumer Information on SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate) This model device meets the governments requirements for exposure to radio waves. Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the device 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 device while operating can be well below the maximum value. Because the device 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 device 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 governmentadopted 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. While there may be differences between SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this model device 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 ZNFV601V.
* 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. Body-worn operation This device was tested for typical use with the back of the device kept 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.39 inches
(1.0 cm) must be maintained between the users body and the back of the device. Any belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components may not be used. Avoid the use of accessories that cannot maintain 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) distance between the users body and the back of the device and have not been tested for compliance with FCC RF exposure limits. MBM67454402 (1.0) Printed in Korea Part15.19 statement This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Part15.21 statement Changes or modifications that are not expressly approved by the manufacturer for compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment.

Custom-designed Features Fingerprint recognition Fingerprint recognition overview You must register your fingerprint on your device first before using the fingerprint recognition function. You can use the fingerprint recognition function in the following cases:
To unlock the screen. To access locked contents in Gallery or QuickMemo+. Confirm a purchase by signing in to an app or identifying yourself with your fingerprint. You can use fingerprint data for user authentication. There is a possibility that the fingerprint sensor might recognize a different but very similar fingerprint as the same registered fingerprint. To strengthen security, it is recommended that you use the pattern, PIN, or password method for unlocking the screen. If the device cannot detect your fingerprint, or you forgot the value specified for registration, visit the nearest LG Customer Service Center with your device and ID card. Precautions for fingerprint recognition Fingerprint recognition accuracy may decrease due to a number of reasons. To maximize the recognition accuracy, check the following before using the device. At the bottom center of the products screen, there is a built-in sensor that recognizes fingerprints. Be careful not to scratch or damage the fingerprint sensor with metal objects such as coins or keys. If you replace the protective film on the product with a polarized film that diffuses the light or a film that is too thick, it may decrease the fingerprint recognition rate. Custom-designed Features If there are foreign substances (sweat, lotion, water, dirt, grease, etc.) on the fingerprint sensor or on the finger to be put on the sensor, fingerprint recognition may not work properly. Wipe the sensor and the finger clean and remove all moisture before putting the finger on the sensor. If the fingers surface is rough due to it being scarred or pruney from water, the sensor may not be able to recognize the fingerprint. In such a case, register another fingers fingerprint. If you bend your finger or use the fingertip only, your fingerprint may not be recognized. Make sure that your finger covers the entire surface of the fingerprint sensor. Scan only one finger for each registration. Scanning more than one finger may affect fingerprint registration and recognition. The device may generate static electricity if the surrounding air is dry. If the surrounding air is dry, avoid scanning fingerprints, or touch a metallic object such as a coin or a key before scanning fingerprints to remove static electricity. Registering fingerprints You can register and save your fingerprint on the device to use fingerprint identification. 1 Tap Lock screen & security Fingerprints. Settings A lock screen must be set in order to be able to use this feature. If the screen lock is not active, configure the lock screen by following the on-screen instructions. See Setting a screen lock for details. 2 Check the location of the fingerprint sensor at the bottom center of the screen, and lightly place your finger on the sensor. Make sure that the finger fully covers the fingerprint sensor. Custom-designed Features 3 Follow the on-screen instructions. Place your finger on the sensor and hold it until you feel a vibration. Move the same finger around on the sensor a little by little until the fingerprint registration is complete. 4 When the fingerprint registration is done, tap OK. Tap ADD MORE to register another fingerprint. Since the fingerprint recognition success rate depends on the condition of the registered fingerprint, it is recommended that you register several different fingerprints. Managing fingerprints You can edit or delete registered fingerprints. 1 Tap Lock screen & security 2 Unlock according to the specified lock method. 3 From the fingerprint list, tap a fingerprint to rename it. To delete it, tap Fingerprints. Settings
