Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain 
electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless 
phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation 
of six (6”) inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker 
to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are 
consistent with the independent research by and...

14
Health Care Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these 
areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use equipment that 
could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems 
in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your 
vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added...

15
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and 
obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire 
resulting in bodily injury or even death. 
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, marked clearly. 
Potential areas may include: fueling areas (such as gasoline stations); below deck on 
boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied...

Battery Information and Care
• Please dispose of your battery properly or take it to your local wireless carrier for 
recycling.
• The battery does not need to be fully discharged before recharging.• Use only LG-approved chargers specific to your phone model since they are designed 
to maximize battery life.
• Do not disassemble or impact the battery as it may cause electric shock, short-circuit, 
and fire. Store the battery in a place out of reach of children.
• Replace the battery when it no longer...

• If you put your phone in a pocket or bag without covering the receptacle of the phone 
(power plug pin), metallic articles (such as a coin, paperclip or pen) may short-circuit 
the phone. Always cover the receptacle when not in use.
• Do not short-circuit the battery. Metallic articles such as a coin, paperclip or pen in 
your pocket or bag may short-circuit the + and – terminals of the battery (metal strips 
on the battery) upon moving. Short-circuiting of the terminal may damage the battery 
and...

FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration Centre for Devices and Radiological Health 
Consumer Update on Mobile Phones.
1.  Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated 
with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are 
absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the 
microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels...

20
Although the existing scientific data does not justify FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has 
urged the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
• Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type emitted by 
wireless phones;
• Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that is 
not necessary for device function; and
• Cooperate in providing wireless phones with the best possible information on possible 
effects...
