10  Call roadside assistance or a special wireless nonemergency 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 broken traffi c signal, a minor traffi c accident where no 
one appears injured or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or 
other special nonemergency 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.

Precautions for use of leather back cover
• This product is made of cattle hide and may have different creases and patterns 
due to the properties of natural leather. If the product gets wet with any liquid 
(water, soda, seawater, rain, sweat, sunscreen, cosmetics, moisture, etc.), it may 
lose color, change color, or deform in shape.
• When this product gets wet or contaminated, get rid of the water by pressing it 
gently with a dry towel, or wipe it with leather cream and leave it to dry in shade. 
When the product is exposed to a wet environment for a long time, it may cause 
creases or mold. The shape of the leather may not be restored to its original state 
after cleaning because of the properties of leather, and any contamination or 
deformity may get worse when using regular detergent or an organic solvent.
• When the leather is wet with rain or sweat, use caution and avoid contact with 
clothes. It can cause any dye to become a stain.
• Due to the nature of leather, friction for long periods of time or excessive force may 
damage the surface of the leather.
NOTE: The back cover type may differ from your device depending on the 
region, service provider without prior notice.

Limited Warranty Statement
 ARBITRATION NOTICE: THIS LIMITED WARRANTY CONTAINS AN ARBITRATION 
PROVISION THAT REQUIRES YOU AND LG TO RESOLVE DISPUTES BY BINDING 
ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF IN COURT, UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO OPT OUT. IN 
ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTIONS AND JURY TRIALS ARE NOT PERMITTED. PLEASE SEE 
THE SECTION TITLED “PROCEDURE FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES” BELOW.
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.]

LG offers you a limited warranty that the enclosed subscriber unit and its enclosed 
accessories will be free from defects in material and workmanship, according to the 
following terms and conditions:

warranty period as long as it is in the U.S., including Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. Territories 
and Canada.
(4)  The external housing and cosmetic parts shall be free of defects at the time of 
shipment and, therefore, shall not be covered under these limited warranty 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

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.

workmanship.

							126Safety

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 WARRANTY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MARKETABILITY OR 
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE APPLICABLE TO

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.
Defi nitions. For the purposes of this section, references to “LG” mean LG 
Electronics MobileComm U.S.A., Inc., its parents, subsidiaries and affi liates, and 
each of their offi cers, directors, employees, agents, benefi ciaries, 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.
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 specifi cally, 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  
						

							129Safety
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 confl ict 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 fi ling 
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 fi ling, 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 fi nds 
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
