Guidelines for safe and e cient use
Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Speci c Absorption Rate (SAR) information This mobile phone model KP170
has been designed to comply with applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. These
requirements are based on scienti c guidelines that include safety margins designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
• The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Speci c
Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standardised methods with the phone
transmitting at its highest certi ed power level in all used frequency bands.
• While there may be di erences between the SAR levels of various LG phone models, they are all designed
to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
• The SAR limit recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) is 2W/kg averaged over 10g of tissue.
• The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by DASY4 for use at the ear is 1.14 W/kg (10g)
and when worn on the body is 0.897 W/Kg(10g).
• SAR data information for residents in countries/regions that have adopted the SAR limit
recommended by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), which is 1.6 W/kg
averaged over 1g of tissue.
