LG KG810: Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

This mobile phone model KG810 has been designed to comply with applicable safety

requirement for exposure to radio waves. This requirement is based on scientific

guidelines the 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 standardized

methods with the phone transmitting at its 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 ten (10) gram of

tissue.

] The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by DASY4 for use at the ear is

0.380 W/kg (10g).

] SAR data information for residents in countries/ regions that have adopted the

SAR limit recommended by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

(IEEE), which is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one (1) gram of tissue.

Avoid damage to your hearing

Guidelines for safe and efficient use

] Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed to loud sound for long

periods of time. We therefore recommend that you do not turn on or off the

handset close to your ear. We also recommend that music and call volumes are set

to a reasonable level.

] If you are listening to music whilst out and about, please ensure that the volume is

at a reasonable level so that you are aware of your surroundings.

This is particularly imperative when attempting to cross the street.

For optimal call performance, please do not obstruct the

internal antenna.
