Safety

Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting, pulling, or heating. Do not use the plug if it is loose as it may cause a fire or electric shock.

When using the power plug, ensure that it is firmly connected. If it is not, it may cause excessive heat or fire.

Do not place any heavy items on the power cord. Do not allow the power cord to be crimped as it may cause fire or electric shock.

Do not disassemble the phone.

Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may short-circuit the phone and/or cause electric shock or fire.

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-circuit of the terminal may damage the battery and cause an explosion.

Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will cause the battery to explode.

General Warnings and Cautions

Store the battery in a place out of reach of children.

Using a damaged battery or placing a battery in your mouth may cause serious injury.

Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your body during a call.

Talking on your phone for a long period of time may reduce call quality due to heat generated during use.

When the phone is not used for a long period time, store it in a safe place with the power cord unplugged.

Only authorized personnel should service the phone and its accessories. Faulty installation or service may result in accidents and consequently invalidate the warranty.

Do not use the phone if the antenna is damaged. If a damaged antenna contacts skin, it may cause a slight burn. Please contact an LG Authorized Service Center to replace the damaged antenna.

Do not use the phone in areas where its use is prohibited. (For example: aircraft).

Do not immerse your phone in water. If this happens, turn it off immediately and remove the battery. If the phone does not work, take it to an LG Authorized Service Center.
