Health and safety information Health and safety information
Vehicles equipped with an air bag
>An air bag inflates with great force. Do not place
objects, including either installed or portable
wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag
or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle
wireless equipment is improperly installed and
the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Third party equipment
>The use of third party equipment, cables or
accessories, not made or authorised by LG, may
invalidate the warranty of your handset and also
adversely affect the handset’s safety or operation.
Service
>The handset, batteries and charger contain no
user-serviceable parts. LG recommend that your
LG U8360 handset is serviced or repaired by an
LG authorised service centre.
Efficient use
>The handset has an antenna. For optimum
performance with minimum power consumption,
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.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR) information:
>This handset model LG U8360 has been designed to
comply with safety requirements for exposure to
radio waves. The requirement is based on scientific
guidelines that include safety margins designed to
assure the 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 a
standardised method with the mobile transmitting
at its highest certified power level in all used
frequency bands.
While there may be differences between the SAR
levels of various LG handset 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-Ionising Radiation Protection
(CNIRP), is 2W/kg averaged over ten (10) grams
of tissue.
The highest SAR value for this model mobile tested
by SASY3 for use at the ear is 0.904 W/KG (10g).
The SAR limit recommended by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), which is
1.6 W/kg averaged over one (1) grams of tissue
(for example USA, Canada, Australia and Taiwan).
