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 2W/kg averaged over 10g  
of tissue.  
The highest SAR value for this  
model phone tested by DASY4  
for use at the ear is 0.927 W/  
kg (10 g) and when worn on  
the body is 0.699 W/kg(10 g).

(SAR) information. This mobile  
phone model LG-P500 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.  
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 1g of tissue.  
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

computers.  
Product care and  
maintenance  
The unit should be kept away  
from heat sources such as  
radiators or cookers.  
WARNING  
Only use 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.  
Do not drop.  
Do not subject this unit to  
mechanical vibration or shock.  
Switch off the phone in any  
area where you are required  
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 disassemble this unit.  
Take it to a qualified service  
technician when repair work is  
required.  
Repairs under warranty, at  
LG’s option, 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

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 the accessories like  
earphones cautiously. Do  
not touch the antenna  
unnecessarily.  
Minor interference may affect  
TVs, radios, PCs, etc.  
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.  
Efficient phone operation  
Electronics devices  
RF energy may affect some  
electronic systems in your  
vehicle such as car stereos  
and safety equipment.  
All mobile phones may get  
interference, which could affect  
performance.  
80  
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.  
NOTE: Excessive sound and  
pressure from earphones can  
causing 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.  
Stop using your mobile device  
until the glass is replaced by an  
authorised service provider.  
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  
near roads.  
Avoid damage to your  
hearing  
Blasting area  
Do not use the phone where  
blasting is in progress. Observe  
restrictions, and follow any  
regulations or rules.  
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.  
Potentially explosive  
atmospheres  
Do not use the phone at a  
refueling point.  
81  
Guidelines for safe and efficient use  
Do not use near fuel or  
chemicals.  
Emergency calls  
Emergency calls may not be  
available under all mobile  
networks. Therefore, you should  
never depend solely on the  
phone for emergency calls.  
Check with your local service  
provider.  
Do not transport or store  
flammable gas, liquid, or  
explosives in the same  
compartment of your vehicle  
as your mobile phone and  
accessories.  
In aircraft  
Wireless devices can cause  
interference in aircraft.  
Turn your mobile phone off  
before boarding any aircraft.  
Do not use it on the ground  
without permission from the  
crew.  
Battery information and  
care  
You do not need to completely  
discharge the battery before  
recharging. Unlike other  
battery systems, there is no  
memory effect that could  
compromise the battery’s  
performance.  
Children  
Use only LG batteries and  
chargers. LG chargers are  
designed to maximise the  
battery life.  
Do not disassemble or short-  
circuit the battery pack.  
Keep the phone in a safe  
place out of the reach of small  
children. It includes small parts  
which may cause a choking  
hazard if detached.  
Keep the metal contacts of the  
battery pack clean.  
82  
Replace the battery when it  
no longer provides acceptable  
performance. The battery pack  
maybe recharged hundreds of  
times until it needs replacing.  
If you need to replace the  
battery, take it to the nearest  
authorised LG Electronics  
service point or dealer for  
assistance.  
Recharge the battery if it has  
not been used for a long time  
to maximise usability.  
Do not expose the battery  
charger to direct sunlight or  
Always unplug the charger  
from the wall socket after  
the phone is fully charged  
to save unnecessary power
