General information Important safety information Radio frequency energy Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When the phone is turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. Depending on the type of mobile phone you posses, it operates on different frequency ranges and employs commonly used modulation techniques. The system that handles your call when you are using your phone controls the power level at which your phone transmits. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information. Your phone has been designed to comply with applicable safety requirement for exposure to radio waves. This requirement is based on scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines include safety margins designed to assure this 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, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standardized method with the phone transmitting at this 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), which is 2W/kg averaged over then (10) gram of tissue. ► The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by SGS for use at the ear is 0.680 W/kg (10g) and when worn on the body is 0.794 W/kg (10g). ► SAR data information for residents in countries/regions that have adopted the SAR limit recommended by the Institute 7
