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 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,theFoodandDrugAdministration(“FDA”)andtheFederalCommunications
Commission(“FCC”)setpoliciesandproceduresforwirelessphones.TheFDA
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
monitordevelopmentsinthisfield.YoucanaccessthejointFDA/FCCwebsiteat

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

(888)CALL-FCC.
What does “SAR” mean?
In1996,theFCC,workingwiththeFDA,theU.S.EnvironmentalProtection
Agency, 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
FCCthatitdoesnotexceedlimitsestablishedbytheFCC.Oneoftheselimitsis
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 highest power level in all tested frequency bands. Since
For Your Safety 147
1996,theFCChasrequiredthattheSARofhandheldwirelessphonesnotexceed
1.6wattsperkilogram,averagedoveronegramoftissue.AlthoughtheSARis
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’sOETBulletins56and

orvisittheCellularTelecommunicationsIndustryAssociationwebsiteat
http://www.ctia.org/consumer_info/index.cfm/AID/10371
. You may also wish to
contact the manufacturer of your phone.
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
exposureleveldropsoffdramaticallywithdistance.TheFDA/FCCwebsitestates
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?
TheFDA/FCCwebsitestatesthat“thescientificevidencedoesnotshowa
danger to users of wireless communication devices, including children.” The FDA/
FCCwebsitefurtherstatesthat“somegroupssponsoredbyothernational
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

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)energysetbytheFederalCommunicationsCommissionofthe
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.
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
theFCCwiththephonetransmittingatitshighestcertifiedpowerlevelinalltested
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
isavailableforsaletothepublic,itmustbetestedandcertifiedtotheFCCthatit
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
andwornonthebody)asrequiredbytheFCCforeachmodel.
The highest SAR values are:
*Head:1.02W/kg
*Body(Body-worn/Hotspot):1.12W/kg
(Body measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available
accessoriesandFCCrequirements).
While there may be differences between SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.

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
needs.

Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing
health professional may help you find this rating. Higher ratings mean that the
hearing device is relatively immune to interference noise. The hearing aid and
wireless phone rating values are then added together.

For Your Safety 153
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.

level than otherwise needed.
For Your Safety 155
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 156
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systemsinmotorvehicles.Checkwiththemanufactureroritsrepresentative
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
FCCregulationsprohibitusingyourphonewhileintheair.SwitchOFFyourphone
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
TheU.S.FoodandDrugAdministration’sCenterforDevicesandRadiologicalHealth
ConsumerUpdateonMobilePhones:
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
For Your Safety 162
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.
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
• Cooperateinprovidingusersofwirelessphoneswiththebestpossible
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
CommunicationsCommission(FCC).AllphonesthataresoldintheUnitedStates
mustcomplywithFCCsafetyguidelinesthatlimitRFexposure.TheFCCrelieson
the FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones.
For Your Safety 163
TheFCCalsoregulatesthebasestationsthatthewirelessphonenetworksrely
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.
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,oftencalled“cell”,“mobile”,or“PCS”phones.Thesetypesofwireless
phones can expose the user to measurable Radio Frequency (RF) energy because
of the short distance between the phone and the user’s head.
TheseRFexposuresarelimitedbyFCCsafetyguidelinesthatweredevelopedwith
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
thusproduceRFexposuresfarbelowtheFCCsafetylimits.
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
For Your Safety 164
exposures, since the average period of phone use in these studies was around three
years.
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
documentsonEMFissues.TheFDAandtheCellularTelecommunications&
InternetAssociation(CTIA)haveaformalCooperativeResearchAndDevelopment

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
WirelessCommunicationsDevices:ExperimentalTechniques”,setsforththefirst
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 wir
eless phone complies with safety guidelines.
For Your Safety 166
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.
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
For Your Safety 167
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.

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.
Carefullyreadyourinstructionmanualandlearntotakeadvantageofvaluable
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
accessories are readily available today. Whether you choose an installed mounted
device for your wireless phone or a speaker phone accessory, take advantage of
these devices if available to you.
3.Makesureyouplaceyourwirelessphonewithineasyreachandwhereyoucan
reach it without removing your eyes from the road. If you get an incoming call at
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.
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
For Your Safety 169
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

10.Callroadsideassistanceoraspecialwirelessnon-emergencyassistance
numberwhennecessary.Certainsituationsyouencounterwhiledrivingmay
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.
The above tips are meant as general guidelines. Before deciding to use your mobile
device while operating a vehicle, it is recommended that you consult your applicable
jurisdiction’s local laws or other regulations regarding such use. Such laws or other
regulations may prohibit or otherwise restrict the manner in which a driver may use
his or her phone while operating a vehicle.

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., Inc., 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 U.S.A., 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

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.
LIMITED WARRANTY - USA 175
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 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,
U.S.A., 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.
LIMITED WARRANTY - USA 176
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
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
