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.  Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as 
speed dial and redial. 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.  When available, use a hands- free device. A number of 
hands-free wireless phone 
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.  Make sure you place your  wireless phone within easy 
reach and where you can 
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.  Suspend conversations during  hazardous driving conditions 
or situations. Let the 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’t take notes or look up  phone numbers while driving. 
If you are reading an 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.  Dial sensibly and assess the  traffic; if possible, place calls 
when you are not 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.  Do not engage in stressful or  emotional conversations that 
may be distracting. 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 
911 or other local emergency 
number in the case of fire, 
traffic accident, road hazard, or 
medical emergency. Remember, 
it’s a free call on your wireless 
phone! 
9.  Use your wireless phone to  help others in emergencies. 
Your wireless phone provides 
you a perfect opportunity to 
be a “Good Samaritan” in your 
community. If you see an auto 
accident, crime in progress or 
other serious emergency where 
lives are in danger, call 911 or 
other local emergency number, 
as you would want others to do 
for you.
10. Call roadside assistance or a  special wireless non-emergency 
assistance 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  
						

							  111
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.

performance of the product or this 
Limited Warranty.
Agreement to Binding Arbitration 
and Class Action Waiver. 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 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  
						

							  117
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 
reasonable attorneys’ fees and 
expenses to the extent required 
by applicable law. 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 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
