LG Electronics 8500 Camera Accessories User Manual


 
Use accessories, such as earphones and
headsets, with caution. Ensure that cables are
tucked away safely and do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily.
If you are listening to music while 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.
Avoid damage to your hearing
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.

Health Consumer Update on Mobile
Phones:
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that
any health problems are associated with using
wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that
wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless
phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF)
in the microwave range while being used. They also
emit very low levels of RF when in the Main Menu
Screen. Whereas high levels of RF can produce
health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low
level RF that does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health effects. Many
studies of low level RF exposures have not found any
biological effects. Some studies have suggested that
some biological effects may occur, but such findings
have not been confirmed by additional research. In
some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in
reproducing those studies, or in determining the
reasons for inconsistent results.
