Safety
●
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
●
Only use the batteries, antennas, and chargers
provided by LG. The warranty will not be applied
to products provided by other suppliers.
●
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 place items containing magnetic
components such as a credit card, phone card,
bank book or subway ticket near your phone. The
magnetism of the phone may damage the data
stored in the magnetic strip.
●
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.
●
Using the phone in proximity to receiving
equipment (i.e., TV or radio) may cause
interference to the phone.
●
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.
