LG G5 User Guide

							For Your Safety151
A sum of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered 
for best use.
In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating 
and the wireless phone meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the 
two values equal M5. This should provide the hearing aid user with 
“normal usage” while using their hearing aid with the particular 
wireless phone. “Normal usage” in this context is defined as a signal 
quality that’s acceptable for normal operation.
The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T mark 
is intended to be synonymous with the UT mark. The M and T marks are 
recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industries Solutions 
(ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules. 
The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the American 
National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.
To ensure that the Hearing Aid Compatibility rating for your phone 
is maintained, secondary transmitters such as Bluetooth and WLAN 
components must be disabled during a call.

Caution:  
Av oid 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.

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.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (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:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (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 relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, 
and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry 
reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those 
standards).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized 
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and may 
violate FCC regulations.  
						

							For Your Safety154
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.
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 
separation of six (6) inches be maintained between a handheld wireless 
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:
•	 Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches from their 
pacemaker 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.  
						

							For Your Safety155
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.
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.  
						

							For Your Safety156
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.
