●
Do not immerse your phone in
water, liquid, or expose to high
humidity. If this happens, turn it
off immediately and remove the
battery. Immediately, take it to an
LG Authorized Service Center.
●
Do not paint your phone.
●
The data saved in your phone
might be deleted due to careless
use, repair of the phone, or
upgrade of the software. Please
backup your important phone
numbers. (Ringtones, text
messages, voice messages,
pictures, and videos could also be
deleted.) The manufacturer is not
liable for damage due to the loss
of data.
●
When you use the phone in public
places, set the ringtone to
vibration so you don't disturb
others.
●
Do not turn your phone on or off
when putting it to your ear.
●
Use accessories, such as
earphones and headsets, with
caution. Ensure that cables are
tucked away safely and do not
touch the antenna unnecessarily.

Center 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 (RF)
energy in the microwave range
while being used. They also emit
very low levels of RF when in idle
mode. Whereas high levels of RF
can produce health effects (by
heating tissue), exposure to low
level RF that does not produce
heating effects causes no known
adverse health effects. Many
studies of low level RF exposures
have not found any biological
effects. Some studies have
suggested that some biological
effects may occur, but such
findings have not been confirmed
by additional research. In some
cases, other researchers have had
difficulty in reproducing those
studies, or in determining the
reasons for inconsistent results.
2. What is the FDA’s role
concerning the safety of
wireless phones?
Under the law, the FDA does not
review the safety of radiation-
emitting consumer products
such as wireless phones before
they can be sold, as it does
with new drugs or medical
devices. However, the agency has
authority to take action if wireless
phones are shown to emit Radio
Frequency (RF) energy at a level
that is hazardous to the user.
In such a case, the FDA could
require the manufacturers of
wireless phones to notify users of
the health hazard and to repair,
