Guidelines for safe and efficient  
use  
Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be  
dangerous or illegal.  
Should a fault occur, a software tool is built into your device that will gather a  
fault log. This tool gathers only data specific to the fault, such as signal strength,  
cell ID position in sudden call drop and applications loaded. The log is used only to  
help determine the cause of the fault. These logs are encrypted and can only be  
accessed by an authorised LG Repair centre should you need to return your device  
for repair.  
Important information about the device  
Device apps and services are subject to change or cancellation without notice,  
depending on the provider’s situation and the software version.  
When the device is turned on for the first time, an initial configuration takes  
place. The first booting time may be longer than usual.  
Read before use  
To purchase optional items, contact the LG Customer Information Centre for  
available dealers.  
The appearance and specifications of the device are subject to change without  
notice.  
Do not use LG products for other purposes than those originally intended.  
Using non-certified apps or software may damage the device and this is not  
covered by warranty.  
Exposure to radio frequency energy  
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information.  
This mobile phone model LG-K500n has been designed to comply with applicable  
safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. These requirements are based  
on scientific guidelines that include safety margins designed to assure the safety  
of all persons, regardless of age and health.  
5
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known  
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using  
standardised 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) is 2 W/kg averaged over 10 g of tissue.  
The highest SAR value for this model phone tested for use at the ear is  
0.552 W/kg (10 g) and when worn on the body is 1.500 W/Kg (10 g).  
This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use  
position against the ear or when positioned at least 5 mm away from the  
body. When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn operation, it  
should not contain metal and should position the product at least 5 mm away  
from your body. In order to transmit data files or messages, this device requires  
a quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data files  
or messages may be delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure the  
above separation distance instructions are followed until the transmission is  
completed.  
Product care and maintenance  
Always use genuine LG batteries, chargers and accessories approved for use  
with this particular phone model. The use of any other types may invalidate any  
approval or warranty applying to the phone and may be dangerous.  
Some contents and illustrations may differ from your device without prior  
notice.  
Do not disassemble this unit. Take it to a qualified service technician when  
repair work is required.  
Repairs under warranty, at LG’s discretion, may include replacement parts  
or boards that are either new or reconditioned, provided that they have  
functionality equal to that of the parts being replaced.  
Keep away from electrical appliances such as TVs, radios and personal  
computers.  
The unit should be kept away from heat sources such as radiators or cookers.  
Do not drop.  
Guidelines for safe and efficient use  
6
Do not subject this unit to mechanical vibration or shock.  
Switch off the phone in any area where you are required to by special  
regulations. For example, do not use your phone in hospitals as it may affect  
sensitive medical equipment.  
Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is being charged. It may cause  
an electric shock and can seriously damage your phone.  
Do not charge a handset near flammable material as the handset can become  
hot and create a fire hazard.  
Use a dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit (do not use solvents such as  
benzene, thinner or alcohol).  
Do not charge the phone when it is on soft furnishings.  
The phone should be charged in a well ventilated area.  
Do not subject this unit to excessive smoke or dust.  
Do not keep the phone next to credit cards or transport tickets; it can affect  
the information on the magnetic strips.  
Do not tap the screen with a sharp object as it may damage the phone.  
Do not expose the phone to liquid or moisture.  
Use accessories like earphones cautiously. Do not touch the antenna  
unnecessarily.  
Do not use, touch or attempt to remove or fix broken, chipped or cracked glass.  
Damage to the glass display due to abuse or misuse is not covered under the  
warranty.  
Your phone is an electronic device that generates heat during normal  
operation. Extremely prolonged, direct skin contact in the absence of adequate  
ventilation may result in discomfort or minor burns. Therefore, use care when  
handling your phone during or immediately after operation.  
If your phone gets wet, immediately unplug it to dry off completely. Do not  
attempt to accelerate the drying process with an external heating source, such  
as an oven, microwave or hair dryer.  
The liquid in your wet phone, changes the colour of the product label inside  
your phone. Damage to your device as a result of exposure to liquid is not  
covered under your warranty.  
Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Efficient phone operation  
Electronics devices  
All mobile phones may receive interference, which could affect performance.  
Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without requesting  
permission. Avoid placing the phone over pacemakers, for example, in your  
breast pocket.  
Some hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile phones.  
Minor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs etc.  
Use your phone in temperatures between 0 ºC and 40 ºC, if possible. Exposing  
your phone to extremely low or high temperatures may result in damage,  
malfunction, or even explosion.  
Road safety  
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones in the area when you  
drive.  
Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.  
Give full attention to driving.  
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving  
conditions so require.  
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in your vehicle such as car  
stereos and safety equipment.  
When your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do not obstruct with installed  
or portable wireless equipment. It can cause the air bag to fail or cause serious  
injury due to improper performance.  
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 of particular importance when near roads.  
Guidelines for safe and efficient use  
8
Avoid damage to your hearing  
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume  
levels for long periods.  
Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed to loud sound for long  
periods of time. Make sure that you do not turn on or off the handset close to  
your ear. Also, make sure that music and call volumes are set to a reasonable level.  
When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people  
speaking near you, or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are  
listening to.  
Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause  
hearing loss.  
Glass Parts  
Some parts of your mobile device are made of glass. This glass could break if your  
mobile device is dropped on a hard surface or receives a substantial impact. If the  
glass breaks, do not touch or attempt to remove it. Stop using your mobile device  
until the glass is replaced by an authorised service provider.

charged to save unnecessary power consumption of the charger.  
Actual battery life will depend on network configuration, product settings,  
usage patterns, battery and environmental conditions.  
Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal’s teeth or nails, come into  
contact with the battery. This could cause a fire.  
Precautions when using SIM cards  
Do not insert the SIM card into the device with the label or seal attached. This  
may cause damage.  
Do not remove the SIM card while using the device. This may damage the SIM  
card or the system.  
Take extra care to ensure that the SIM card is not scratched, bent, or damaged  
by magnet. This may delete files saved on the SIM card or cause device  
malfunctions.  
Precautions when using memory cards  
Make sure that the orientation is correct when inserting the memory card.  
Inserting using the wrong orientation may damage the card.

For more information about using this function, please visit  
http://www.lg.com/common/index.jsp, select your country and language.  
This feature allows you to conveniently update the firmware on your  
phone to a newer version from the Internet without needing to visit a  
service centre. This feature will only be available if and when LG makes a  
newer firmware version available for your device.  
Because the mobile phone firmware update requires the user’s full  
attention for the duration of the update process, please make sure  
you check all instructions and notes that appear at each step before  
proceeding. Please note that removing the USB cable during the upgrade  
may seriously damage your mobile phone.  
LG reserves the right to make firmware updates available only for  
selected models at its own discretion and does not guarantee the  
availability of the newer version of the firmware for all handset models.

Your personal data from internal phone storage—including information  
about your Google account and any other accounts, your system/  
application data and settings, any downloaded applications and your  
DRM licence—might be lost in the process of updating your phone’s  
software. Therefore, LG recommends that you backup your personal  
data before updating your phone’s software. LG does not take  
responsibility for any loss of personal data.  
This feature depends on your network service provider, region and

Anti-Theft Guide  
Set up your device to prevent other people from using it if it's been reset  
to factory settings without your permission. For example, if your device is  
lost, stolen, or wiped, only someone with your Google account or screen  
lock information can use the device.  
All you need to make sure your device is protected is:  
Set a screen lock: If your device is lost or stolen but you have a screen  
lock set, the device can't be erased using the Settings menu unless  
your screen is unlocked.  
Add your Google account on your device: If your device is wiped but  
you have your Google account on it, the device can't finish the setup  
process until your Google account information is entered again.  
After your device is protected, you'll need to either unlock your screen or  
enter your Google account password if you need to do a factory reset.  
This ensures that you or someone you trust is doing the reset.  
Do not forget your Google account and password you had added to  
your device prior to performing a factory reset. If you can't provide the  
account information during the setup process, you won't be able to use  
the device at all after performing the factory reset.
