please do not cover the antenna area with your hand. Covering the antenna affects call quality and may cause the handset to operate at a higher power level than required. This decreases talk and standby time.

Radio frequency energy

Your handset is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The system that handles the call (the network) controls the power level at which the handset transmits.

AFurther detailed information is given in this manual.

Exposure to radio frequency energy

Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information

AThis handset model U400 has been designed to comply with safety, requirements for exposure to radio waves. This requirement is based on scientific guidelines that include

safety margins designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health

AThe radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using a standardised method with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used frequency bands

AWhile 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

AThe SAR limit recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), is 2W/kg averaged over ten (10) gramme of tissue

AThe highest SAR value for this model phone tested by DASY3 for use at the ear is 0.772 W/kg (10g)

AThe SAR limit recommended by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), which is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one (1) gramme of tissue (for example USA, Canada, Australia and Taiwan).
