Fingerprint recognition
Fingerprint recognition overview
You must register your fingerprint on your device first before using the
fingerprint recognition function.
You can use the fingerprint recognition function in the following cases:
• To unlock the screen.
• To view locked contents in Gallery or QuickMemo+.
• Confirm a purchase by signing in to an app or identifying yourself with
your fingerprint.
• Your fingerprint can be used by the device for user identification. Very
similar fingerprints from different users may be recognized by the
fingerprint sensor as the same fingerprint. To ensure security, set the
screen lock using a Knock Code, pattern, PIN or Password.
Precautions for fingerprint recognition
Fingerprint recognition accuracy may decrease due to a number of
reasons. To maximize the recognition accuracy, check the following before
using the device.
• The device’s Power/Lock key has a fingerprint sensor. Ensure that the
Power/Lock key is not damaged by a metallic object, such as coin or
key.
• When water, dust or other foreign substance is on the Power/Lock key
or your finger, the fingerprint registration or recognition may not work.
Clean and dry your finger before using the fingerprint sensor.
• A fingerprint may not be recognized properly if the surface of your
finger has a scar or is not smooth due to being soaked in water.
• If you bend your finger or use the fingertip only, your fingerprint may
not be recognized. Make sure that your finger covers the entire surface
of the Power/Lock key.
Custom-designed Features 22
• Scan only one finger for each registration. Scanning more than one
finger may affect fingerprint registration and recognition.
• The device may generate static electricity if the surrounding air is dry.
If the surrounding air is dry, avoid scanning fingerprints, or touch a
metallic object, such as coin or key, to remove static electricity before
scanning fingerprints.
Registering fingerprints
You can register and save your fingerprint on the device to use fingerprint
identification.
1
Tap Settings General Lock screen & security Fingerprints.

fingerprint. If you press the Power/Lock key with an excessive force, the
screen lock function may start or the screen may turn off.
• Ensure that your fingertip covers the entire surface of the sensor on the
Power/Lock key.
Custom-designed Features 23

Follow the on-screen instructions.
• Repeat scanning the fingerprint by moving your finger little by little
until the fingerprint registers.

preventive measure against this kind of situation, register multiple
fingerprints.

Anti-Theft Guide
You can 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 the 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.

Consumer Information About Radio Frequency
Emissions
Your wireless phone, which contains a radio transmitter and receiver, emits
radio frequency energy during use. The following consumer information
addresses commonly asked questions about the health effects of wireless
phones.
Are wireless phones safe?
Scientific research on the subject of wireless phones and radio frequency (“RF”)
energy has been conducted worldwide for many years, and continues. In the United
States, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the Federal Communications
Commission (“FCC”) set policies and procedures for wireless phones. The FDA
issued a website publication on health issues related to cell phone usage where it
states, “The scientific community at large … believes that the weight of scientific
evidence does not show an association between exposure to radiofrequency (RF)
from cell phones and adverse health outcomes. Still the scientific community
does recommend conducting additional research to address gaps in knowledge.
That research is being conducted around the world and FDA continues to
monitor developments in this field. You can access the joint FDA/FCC website at
http://www.fda.gov
(under “c”in the subject index, select Cell Phones > Research).
YoucanalsocontacttheFDAtoll-freeat(888)463-6332or(888)INFO-FDA.
For Your Safety 162
InJune2000,theFDAenteredintoacooperativeresearchanddevelopment
agreement through which additional scientific research is being conducted. The FCC
issued its own website publication stating that “there is no scientific evidence that
proves that wireless phone usage can lead to cancer or a variety of other problems,
including headaches, dizziness or memory loss.” This publication is available at
http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/cellular.html
orthroughtheFCCat(888)225-5322or
(888) CALL-FCC.
What does “SAR” mean?
In1996,theFCC,workingwiththeFDA,theU.S.EnvironmentalProtectionAgency,
and other agencies, established RF exposure safety guidelines for wireless phones
in the United States. Before a wireless phone model is available for sale to the
public, it must be tested by the manufacturer and certified to the FCC that it does
not exceed limits established by the FCC. One of these limits is expressed as a
Specific Absorption Rate, or “SAR.” SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF
energy in the body. Tests for SAR are conducted with the phone transmitting at its
highestpowerlevelinalltestedfrequencybands.Since1996,theFCChasrequired
thattheSARofhandheldwirelessphonesnotexceed1.6wattsperkilogram,
averaged over one gram of tissue. Although the SAR is determined at the highest
power level, the actual SAR value of a wireless phone while operating can be less
than the reported SAR value. This is because the SAR value may vary from call to
call, depending on factors such as proximity to a cell site, the proximity of the phone
to the body while in use, and the use of hands-free devices.
FormoreinformationaboutSARs,seetheFCC’sOETBulletins56and65

http://ww.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins
or visit the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association website at
http://www.ctia.org/consumer_info/index.cfm/AID/10371
. You may also wish to
contact the manufacturer of your phone.
For Your Safety 163
Can I minimize my RF exposure?
If you are concerned about RF, there are several simple steps you can take to
minimize your RF exposure. You can, of course, reduce your talk time.
You can place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, as the
exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. The FDA/FCC website states
that “hands-free kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience and
comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the head because
the phone, which is the source of the RF emissions, will not be placed against the
head. On the other hand, if the phone is mounted against the waist or other part
of the body during use, then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy.
Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety requirements
regardless of whether they are used against the head or against the body. Either
configuration should result in compliance with the safety limit.” Also, if you use your
wireless phone while in a car, you can use a phone with an antenna on the outside
of the vehicle. You should also read and follow your wireless phone manufacturer’s
instructions for the safe operation of your phone.
Do wireless phones pose any special risks to children?
The FDA/FCC website states that “the scientific evidence does not show a
danger to users of wireless communication devices, including children.” The FDA/
FCC website further states that “some groups sponsored by other national
governments have advised that children be discouraged from using wireless phones
at all”. For example, the Stewart Report from the United Kingdom [“UK”] made
sucharecommendationinDecember2000.Inthisreportagroupofindependent
experts noted that no evidence exists that using a cell phone causes brain tumors
or other ill effects. [The UK’s] recommendation to limit cell phone use by children
was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health
hazard exists. A copy of the UK’s leaflet is available at
http://www.dh.gov.uk
(search
“mobile”),oryoucanwriteto:NRPB,Chilton,Didcot,OxonOX11ORQ,United
Kingdom. Copies of the UK’s annual reports on mobile phones and RF are available
online at
www.iegmp.org.uk
and
http://www.hpa.org.uk/radiation/
(search “mobile”).
Parents who wish to reduce their children’s RF exposure may choose to restrict
their children’s wireless phone use.

Consumer Information on SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate)
This model phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio
waves. Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to Radio
Frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the
U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based
on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of
age and health.
For Your Safety 166
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
knownastheSpecificAbsorptionRate,orSAR.TheSARlimitsetbytheFCCis1.6
W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by
the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at the highest certified power level,
the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum
value. Because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels to use
only the power required to reach the network, in general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a phone model
is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it
does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for
safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear
and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR values are:
*Head:0.70W/kg
*Body(Body-worn/Hotspot):1.07W/kg
(Body measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC requirements).
While there may be differences between SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can
be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
after
searchingonFCCIDZNFLS993.AdditionalinformationonSpecificAbsorption
Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association
(CTIA) website at
http://www.ctia.org/
.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the
publicis1.6watts/kg(W/kg)averagedoveronegramoftissue.Thestandard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the
public and to account for any variations in measurements.

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC)
Regulations for Wireless Devices
OnJuly10,2003,theU.S.FederalCommunicationsCommission(FCC)Reportand
OrderinWTDocket01-309modifiedtheexceptionofwirelessphonesunderthe
HearingAidCompatibilityActof1988(HACAct)torequiredigitalwirelessphones
be compatible with hearingaids. The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable
access to telecommunications services for persons with hearing disabilities. While
some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and
cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some
hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and
phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for wireless phones,
to assist hearing device users to find phones that may be compatible with their
hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that are rated have the
rating on their box or a label located on the box.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing
device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to
interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the
phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal

Caution:
Avoid potential hearing loss.
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common
cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research suggests that using
portable audio devices, such as portable music players and cellular telephones, at
high volume settings for long durations may lead to permanent noise-induced
hearing loss. This includes the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds and
Bluetooth or other wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been
associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to
sound and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss
and other potential hearing problems varies.
The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies depending on
the nature of the sound, the device, the device settings and the headphones. You
should follow some commonsense recommendations when using any portable
audio device:
• Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at which
you can hear adequately.
• 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.
• Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose
to listen to your portable device in a noisy environment, use noise-canceling
headphones to block out background environmental noise.
• Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is
required before your hearing could be affected.
• Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as rock
concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss
might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.
• Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience
ringing in your ears, hear muffled speech or experience any temporary hearing
difficulty after listening to your portable audio device, discontinue use and
consult your doctor.
For Your Safety 170
TIA Safety Information
The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless handheld phones.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable phone is a low power radio transmitter and
receiver. When ON, it receives and sends out Radio Frequency (RF) signals.
InAugust,1996,theFederalCommunicationsCommissions(FCC)adopted
RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies:
ANSIC95.1(1992)*
NCRPReport86(1986)
ICNIRP(1996)
* American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection
and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection.
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the
relevantscientificliterature.Forexample,over120scientists,engineers,and
physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed
theavailablebodyofresearchtodeveloptheANSIStandard(C95.1).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
Don’t touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the
antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power
level than otherwise needed.
For Your Safety 171
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain
electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless
phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separationofsix(6)inchesbemaintainedbetweenahandheldwireless
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• ShouldALWAYSkeepthephonemorethansix(6)inchesfromtheirpacemaker
when the phone is turned ON;
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference;
• Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event
of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider (or call the
customer service line to discuss alternatives).
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Health Care Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these
areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use equipment
that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
For Your Safety 172
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative
regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment
that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your phone
before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a
“blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and
instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere
and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion
or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere are often, but not always marked clearly. Potential areas may include:
fueling areas (such as gasoline stations); below deck on boats; fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as
propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as
grain, dust, or metal powders); and any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including either installed
or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air
bag inflates, serious injury could result.

FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological 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 Radio Frequency
(RF) energy in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low
levels of RF when in standby mode. 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.
For Your Safety 178
2. What is the FDA’s role concerning the safety of wireless
phones?
Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer
products such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does with new
drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if
wireless phones are shown to emit Radio Frequency (RF) energy at a level that is
hazardous to the user. In such a case, the FDA could require the manufacturers of
wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace, or recall
the phones so that the hazard no longer exists. Although the existing scientific
data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the wireless phone
industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
• Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type
emitted by wireless phones;
• Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user
that is not necessary for device function; and
• Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible
information on possible effects of wireless phone use on human health.
The FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that
have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts
at the federal level. The following agencies belong to this working group:
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
• Environmental Protection Agency
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group
activities, as well.
The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United States
must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. The FCC relies on
the FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones.
The FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks rely
upon. While these base stations operate at higher power than do the wireless
phones themselves, the RF exposures that people get from these base stations are
typically thousands of times lower than those they can get from wireless phones.
Base stations are thus not the subject of the safety questions discussed in this
document.
For Your Safety 179
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term “wireless phone” refers here to handheld wireless phones with built-in
antennas, often called “cell”, “mobile”, or “PCS” phones. These types of wireless
phones can expose the user to measurable Radio Frequency (RF) energy because
of the short distance between the phone and the user’s head.
These RF exposures are limited by FCC safety guidelines that were developed with
the advice of the FDA and other federal health and safety agencies. When the
phone is located at greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is drastically
lower because a person’s RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance
from the source. The so-called “cordless phones,” which have a base unit connected
to the telephone wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and
thus produce RF exposures far below the FCC safety limits.
4. What are the results of the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies have
suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating
the effects of Radio Frequency (RF) energy exposures characteristic of wireless
phones have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in other
laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have suggested that low levels of RF
could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals. However, many
of the studies that showed increased tumor development used animals that had
been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to
be pre-disposed to develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure. Other studies
exposedtheanimalstoRFforupto22hoursperday.Theseconditionsarenot
similar to the conditions under which people use wireless phones, so we do not
know with certainty what the results of such studies mean for human health. Three
largeepidemiologystudieshavebeenpublishedsinceDecember2000.Between
them, the studies investigated any possible association between the use of wireless
phones and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors
of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. None of the studies
demonstrated the existence of any harmful health effects from wireless phone RF
exposures. However, none of the studies can answer questions about long-term
exposures, since the average period of phone use in these studies was around three
years.
For Your Safety 180
5. What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure
from wireless phones poses a health risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people
actually using wireless phones would provide some of the data that are needed.
Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few years. However,
very large numbers of animals would be needed to provide reliable proof of a
cancer promoting effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data
that is directly applicable to human populations, but ten or more years follow-up
may be needed to provide answers about some health effects, such as cancer.
This is because the interval between the time of exposure to a cancer-causing
agent and the time tumors develop — if they do — may be many, many years. The
interpretation of epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring
actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many factors affect
this measurement, such as the angle at which the phone is held, or which model of
phone is used.
6. What is the FDA doing to find out more about the possible
health effects of wireless phone RF?
The FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups
of investigators around the world to ensure that high priority animal studies are
conducted to address important questions about the effects of exposure to Radio
Frequency (RF) energy.
The FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization
InternationalElectroMagneticFields(EMF)Projectsinceitsinceptionin1996.
An influential result of this work has been the development of a detailed agenda
of research needs that has driven the establishment of new research programs
around the world. The project has also helped develop a series of public information
documents on EMF issues. The FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications &
Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research And Development
Agreement (CRADA) to do research on wireless phone safety. The FDA provides
the scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in government, industry, and
academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through contracts
with independent investigators. The initial research will include both laboratory
studies and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include a broad
assessment of additional research needs in the context of the latest research
developments around the world.
For Your Safety 181
7. How can I find out how much Radio Frequency energy
exposure I can get by using my wireless phone?
All phones sold in the United States must comply with Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit Radio Frequency (RF) energy exposures.
The FCC established these guidelines in consultation with the FDA and the other
federal health and safety agencies. The FCC limit for RF exposure from wireless
phonesissetataSpecificAbsorptionRate(SAR)of1.6wattsperkilogram(1.6
W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent with the safety standards developed by the
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the National Council on
Radiation Protection and Measurement. The exposure limit takes into consideration
the body’s ability to remove heat from the tissues that absorb energy from the
wireless phone and is set well below levels known to have effects. Manufacturers
of wireless phones must report the RF exposure level for each model of phone to
the FCC. The FCC website (
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety
) gives directions for
locating the FCC identification number on your phone so you can find your phone’s
RF exposure level in the online listing.
8. What has the FDA done to measure the Radio Frequency
energy coming from wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical
standard for measuring the Radio Frequency (RF) energy exposure from wireless
phones and other wireless handsets with the participation and leadership of FDA
scientists and engineers. The standard, “Recommended Practice for Determining
the Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human Body Due to
Wireless Communications Devices: Experimental Techniques”, sets forth the first
consistent test methodology for measuring the rate at which RF is deposited in the
heads of wireless phone users. The test method uses a tissue-simulating model of
the human head.
Standardized SAR test methodology is expected to greatly improve the consistency
of measurements made at different laboratories on the same phone. SAR is the
measurement of the amount of energy absorbed in tissue, either by the whole
body or a small part of the body. It is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of
matter. This measurement is used to determine whether a wireless phone complies
with safety guidelines.
For Your Safety 182
9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to Radio
Frequency energy from my wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these products — and at this point we do not know that
there is — it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding even
potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to Radio
Frequency (RF) energy. Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a person
receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF
exposure. If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every
day, you could place more distance between your body and the source of the RF,
since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you
could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a
wireless phone connected to a remote antenna. Again, the scientific data does not
demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful. But if you are concerned about the
RF exposure from these products, you can use measures like those described above
to reduce your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
10. What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless phones,
including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure
to Radio Frequency (RF) energy, the measures described above would apply to
children and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the time of wireless
phone use and increasing the distance between the user and the RF source will
reduce RF exposure. Some groups sponsored by other national governments have
advised that children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For example,
the government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a
recommendationinDecember2000.
They noted that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain
tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use by
children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any
health hazard exists.
For Your Safety 183
11. What about wireless phone interference with medical
equipment?
Radio Frequency (RF) energy from wireless phones can interact with some
electronic devices. For this reason, the FDA helped develop a detailed test
method to measure Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) of implanted cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test method is now
part of a standard sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Medical
Instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by the FDA, medical device
manufacturers,andmanyothergroups,wascompletedinlate2000.Thisstandard
will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are
safe from wireless phone EMI.
The FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless
phones and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard specifies test methods
and performance requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones so that no
interference occurs when a person uses a “compatible” phone and a “compatible”
hearingaidatthesametime.ThisstandardwasapprovedbytheIEEEin2000.
The FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible interactions
with other medical devices. Should harmful interference be found to occur, the FDA
will conduct testing to assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.

Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless phones in the areas where
you drive and always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please
observe the following:
• Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is your first responsibility;
• Use hands-free operation, if available;
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions
or the law require it.
10 Driver Safety Tips
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by voice almost
anywhere, anytime. An important responsibility accompanies the benefits of
wireless phones, one that every user must uphold. When operating a car, driving is
your first responsibility. When using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car,
practice good common sense and remember the following tips:
1.Gettoknowyourwirelessphoneanditsfeaturessuchasspeeddialandredial.
Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take advantage of valuable
features most phones offer, including automatic redial and memory. Also, work
to memorize the phone keypad so you can use the speed dial function without
taking your attention off the road.
2.Whenavailable,useahands-freedevice.Anumberofhands-freewirelessphone

device for your wireless phone or a speaker phone accessory, take advantage of
these devices if available to you.
3.Makesureyouplaceyourwirelessphonewithineasyreachandwhereyoucan

an inconvenient time, if possible, let your voicemail answer it for you.
4.Suspendconversationsduringhazardousdrivingconditionsorsituations.Letthe
person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call
in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, and ice can
be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver, your first responsibility is to pay
attention to the road.
5.Don’ttakenotesorlookupphonenumberswhiledriving.Ifyouarereadingan
address book or business card, or writing a “to-do” list while driving a car, you are
not watching where you are going. It is common sense. Do not get caught in a
dangerous situation because you are reading or writing and not paying attention
to the road or nearby vehicles.
For Your Safety 185
6.Dialsensiblyandassessthetraffic;ifpossible,placecallswhenyouarenot
moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before you begin your
trip or attempt to coincide your calls with times you may be stopped at a stop
sign, red light, or otherwise stationary. But if you need to dial while driving, follow
this simple tip -- dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then
continue.
7.Donotengageinstressfuloremotionalconversationsthatmaybedistracting.
Stressful or emotional conversations and driving do not mix; they are distracting
and even dangerous when you are behind the wheel of a car. Make people you
are talking with aware you are driving and if necessary, suspend conversations
which have the potential to divert your attention from the road.
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wireless phone is one of the
greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and your family in dangerous
situations -- with your phone at your side, help is only three numbers away. Dial
911orotherlocalemergencynumberinthecaseoffire,trafficaccident,road

others to do for you.
10.Callroadsideassistanceoraspecialwirelessnon-emergencyassistance
number when necessary. Certain situations you encounter while driving may
require attention, but are not urgent enough to merit a call for emergency
services. But you can still use your wireless phone to lend a hand. If you see
a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a
minor traffic accident where no one appears injured or a vehicle you know to
be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-emergency wireless
number.

Limited Warranty Statement
Warranty Laws
The following laws govern warranties that arise in retail sales of consumer goods:
• The California Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act [CC §§1790 et seq],
• The California Uniform Commercial Code, Division Two [Com C §§2101 et seq],
and
• The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Federal Trade Commission Improvement
Act [15 USC §§2301 et seq; 16 CFR Parts 701– 703]. A typical Magnuson-
Moss Act warranty is a written promise that the product is free of defects
or a written promise to refund, repair, or replace defective goods. [See 15
USC §2301(6).] Remedies include damages for failing to honor a written
warranty or service contract or for violating disclosure provisions. [See 15 USC
§2310(d).] Except for some labeling and disclosure requirements, the federal
Act does not preempt state law. [See 15 USC §2311.]

or absent valid proof of purchase, FIFTEEN (15) MONTHS from date of

Territories and Canada.
LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT 188
(4) The external housing and cosmetic parts shall be free of defects at the time

terms.
(5) Upon request from LG, the consumer must provide information to reasonably
prove the date of purchase.
(6) The customer shall bear the cost of shipping the product to the Customer
Service Department of LG. LG shall bear the cost of shipping the product back
to the consumer after the completion of service under this limited warranty.
2. WHAT THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER:
(1) Defects or damages resulting from use of the product in other than its normal
and customary manner.
(2) Defects or damages from abnormal use, abnormal conditions, improper storage,
exposure to moisture or dampness, unauthorized modifications, unauthorized
connections, unauthorized repair, misuse, neglect, abuse, accident, alteration,
improper installation, or other acts which are not the fault of LG, including
damage caused by shipping, blown fuses, spills of food or liquid.
(3) Breakage or damage to antennas unless caused directly by defects in material
or workmanship.
(4) That the Customer Service Department at LG was not notified by consumer of
the alleged defect or malfunction of the product during the applicable limited
warranty period.
(5) Products which have had the serial number removed or made illegible.
(6) This limited warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied either in
fact or by operations of law, statutory or otherwise, including, but not limited to

LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT 189
3. WHAT LG WILL DO:
LG will, at its sole option, either repair, replace or refund the purchase price of any
unit that is covered under this limited warranty. LG may choose at its option to
use functionally equivalent re-conditioned, refurbished or new units or parts or
any units. In addition, LG will not re-install or back-up any data, applications or
software that you have added to your phone. It is therefore recommended that you
back-up any such data or information prior to sending the unit to LG to avoid the
permanent loss of such information.
4. STATE LAW RIGHTS:
No other express warranty is applicable to this product. THE DURATION OF ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MARKETABILITY
OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IS LIMITED TO
THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESS WARRANTY HEREIN. LG SHALL NOT BE LIABLE
FOR THE LOSS OF THE USE OF THE PRODUCT, INCONVENIENCE, LOSS OR ANY
OTHER DAMAGES, DIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL, ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF,
OR INABILITY TO USE, THIS PRODUCT OR FOR ANY BREACH OF ANY EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED WARRANTY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MARKETABILITY
OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE APPLICABLE
TO THIS PRODUCT.
Some states do not allow the exclusive limitation of incidental or consequential
damages or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts; so these limitations
or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and
you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT 190
PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES:
ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LG ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY
WAY TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR THE PRODUCT SHALL BE RESOLVED
EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, AND NOT IN A COURT OF
GENERAL JURISDICTION. BINDING ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU AND LG ARE
EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN
A CLASS ACTION.
Definitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG
Electronics MobileComm U.S.A., its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of
their officers, directors, employees, agents, beneficiaries, predecessors in interest,
successors, assigns and suppliers; references to “dispute” or “claim” shall include any
dispute, claim or controversy of any kind whatsoever (whether based in contract,
tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal
or equitable theory) arising out of or relating in any way to the sale, condition or
performance of the product or this Limited Warranty.
Notice of Dispute. In the event you intend to commence an arbitration proceeding,
you must first notify LG in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the
arbitration by sending a letter to LG at LG Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn: Legal
Department- Arbitration 1000 Sylvan Ave, Englewood Cliffs 07632. You and LG
agree to engage in good faith discussions in an attempt to amicably resolve your
claim. The notice must provide your name, address, and telephone number; identify
the product that is the subject of the claim; and describe the nature of the claim
and the relief being sought. If you and LG are unable to resolve the dispute within
30 days, either party may proceed to file a claim for arbitration.
Agreement to Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Upon failure to resolve
the dispute during the 30 day period after sending written notice to LG, you and LG
agree to resolve any claims between us only by binding arbitration on an individual
basis, unless you opt out as provided below. Any dispute between you and LG shall
not be combined or consolidated with a dispute involving any other person’s or
entity’s product or claim. More specifically, without limitation of the foregoing, any
dispute between you and LG shall not under any circumstances proceed as part
of a class or representative action. Instead of arbitration, either party may bring an
individual action in small claims court, but that small claims court action may not be
brought on a class or representative basis.
Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To begin arbitration of a claim, either you or LG
must make a written demand for arbitration. The arbitration will be administered
by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be conducted before a
single arbitrator under the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at
the time the arbitration is initiated (referred to as the “AAA Rules”) and under the
LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT 191
procedures set forth in this section. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.
org/consumer. Send a copy of your written demand for arbitration, as well as a copy
of this provision, to the AAA in the manner described in the AAA Rules. You must
also send a copy of your written demand to LG at LG Electronics, USA, Inc. Attn:
Legal Department- Arbitration 1000 Sylvan Avenue Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632.
If there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this section,
the rules set forth in this section will govern. This arbitration provision is governed
by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award
in any court of competent jurisdiction. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide,
except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration
provision and to the arbitrability of the dispute are for the court to decide. The
arbitrator is bound by the terms of this provision.
Governing Law. The law of the state of your residence shall govern this Limited
Warranty and any disputes between us except to the extent that such law is
preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal law.
Fees/Costs. You do not need to pay any fee to begin an arbitration. Upon receipt
of your written demand for arbitration, LG will promptly pay all arbitration filing
fees to the AAA unless you seek more than $25,000 in damages, in which case
the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise
provided for herein, LG will pay all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees
for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the AAA Rules and this arbitration
provision. If you prevail in the arbitration, LG will pay your attorneys’ fees and
expenses as long as they are reasonable, by considering factors including, but not
limited to, the purchase amount and claim amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if applicable law allows for an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, an
arbitrator can award them to the same extent that a court would. If the arbitrator
finds either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is
frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set
forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all arbitration
fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such a situation, you agree to reimburse
LG for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to
pay under the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for, LG waives any rights
it may have to seek attorneys’ fees and expenses from you if LG prevails in the
arbitration.
Hearings and Location. If your claim is for $25,000 or less, you may choose to
have the arbitration conducted solely on the basis of (1) documents submitted to
the arbitrator, (2) through a telephonic hearing, or (3) by an in-person hearing as
established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $25,000, the right to a hearing
will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any in-person arbitration hearings will be held
LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT 192
at a location within the federal judicial district in which you reside unless we both
agree to another location or we agree to a telephonic arbitration.
Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt out,
neither you nor LG can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding.
To opt out, you must send notice to LG no later than 30 calendar days from the
date of the first consumer purchaser’s purchase of the product by either: (i) sending
an e-mail to [email protected]om, with the subject line: “Arbitration Opt Out” or (ii)
calling 1-800-980-2973. You must include in the opt out e-mail or provide by
telephone: (a) your name and address; (b) the date on which the product was
purchased; (c) the product model name or model number; and (d) the IMEI or MEID
or Serial Number, as applicable (the IMEI or MEID or Serial Number can be found (i)
on the product box; (ii) on a label on the back of the product beneath the battery,
if the battery is removable; or (iii) from the settings menu via the following path:
Settings
General About phone Status).
You may only opt out of the dispute resolution procedure in the manner described
above (that is, by e-mail or telephone); no other form of notice will be effective to
opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. Opting out of this dispute resolution
procedure will not affect the coverage of the Limited Warranty in any way, and
you will continue to enjoy the full benefits of the Limited Warranty. If you keep
this product and do not opt out, then you accept all terms and conditions of the
arbitration provision described above.
