Proximity Sensor
Microphone
Charger/USB Port
NOTE: Proximity sensor
When receiving and making calls, the proximity sensor automatically turns
the backlight off and locks the touch screen by sensing when the phone is
near your ear. This extends battery life and prevents you from unintentionally
activating the touch screen during calls.
WARNING
Placing a heavy object on the phone or sitting on it can damage the display
and touch screen functions. Do not cover the proximity sensor with screen
protectors or any other type of protective film. This could cause the sensor to
malfunction.

• Some applications, such as Calendar, work only with the first Google Account
you add. If you plan to use more than one Google Account with your phone,
be sure to sign into the one you want to use with such applications first. When
you sign in, your contacts, Gmail messages, Calendar events, and other
information from these applications and services on the web are synchronized
with your phone. If you don't sign into a Google Account during setup, you will
be prompted to sign in or to create a Google Account the first time you start an
application that requires one, such as Gmail or Play Store.
• If you have an enterprise account through your company or other organization,
your IT department may have special instructions on how to sign into that
account.

What does “SAR” mean?
In1996,theFCC,workingwiththeFDA,theU.S.EnvironmentalProtectionAgency,and
otheragencies,establishedRFexposuresafetyguidelinesforwirelessphonesinthe
UnitedStates.Beforeawirelessphonemodelisavailableforsaletothepublic,itmust

3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
Theterm“wirelessphone”refersheretohandheldwirelessphoneswithbuilt-in
antennas,oftencalled“cell”,“mobile”,or“PCS”phones.Thesetypesofwireless
phonescanexposetheusertomeasurableRadioFrequency(RF)energybecauseof
theshortdistancebetweenthephoneandtheuser’shead.
TheseRFexposuresarelimitedbyFCCsafetyguidelinesthatweredevelopedwith
theadviceoftheFDAandotherfederalhealthandsafetyagencies.Whenthephone
islocatedatgreaterdistancesfromtheuser,theexposuretoRFisdrasticallylower
becauseaperson’sRFexposuredecreasesrapidlywithincreasingdistancefrom
thesource.Theso-called“cordlessphones,”whichhaveabaseunitconnectedto
thetelephonewiringinahouse,typicallyoperateatfarlowerpowerlevels,andthus
produceRFexposuresfarbelowtheFCCsafetylimits.
4. What are the results of the research done already?
Theresearchdonethusfarhasproducedconflictingresults,andmanystudieshave
sufferedfromflawsintheirresearchmethods.Animalexperimentsinvestigatingthe

7. How can I find out how much Radio Frequency energy exposure I can get by
using my wireless phone?
AllphonessoldintheUnitedStatesmustcomplywithFederalCommunications

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.]
1. WHAT THIS WARRANTY COVERS:
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:
(1) The limited warranty for the product extends for TWELVE (12) MONTHS beginning on the date of
purchase of the product with valid proof of purchase, or absent valid proof of purchase, FIFTEEN
(15) MONTHS from date of manufacture as determined by the unit’s manufacture date code.
(2) The limited warranty extends only to the original purchaser of the product and is not assignable
or transferable to any subsequent purchaser/end user.
(3) This warranty is good only to the original purchaser of the product during the 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 consumer after the completion
of service under this limited warranty.

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.
(3) Breakage or damage to antennas unless caused directly by defects in material or workmanship.
(4) That the Customer Service Department at LG was not notified by consumer of the alleged defect
or malfunction of the product during the applicable limited warranty period.
(5) Products which have had the serial number removed or made illegible.
(6) This limited warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied either in fact or by
operations of law, statutory or otherwise, including, but not limited to any implied warranty of
marketability or fitness for a particular use.
(7) Damage resulting from use of non LG approved accessories.
(8) All plastic surfaces and all other externally exposed parts that are scratched or damaged due to
normal customer use.
(9) Products operated outside published maximum ratings.
(10) Products used or obtained in a rental program.
(11) Consumables (such as fuses).
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
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MARKETABILITY OR
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IS LIMITED TO THE DURATION
OF THE EXPRESS WARRANTY HEREIN. LG SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE LOSS OF THE
USE OF THE PRODUCT, INCONVENIENCE, LOSS OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, DIRECT OR
CONSEQUENTIAL, ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THIS PRODUCT
OR FOR ANY BREACH OF ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED
WARRANTY OF MARKETABILITY OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE APPLICABLE TO THIS PRODUCT.
Some states do not allow the exclusive limitation of incidental or consequential damages or
limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts; so these limitations or exclusions may not apply to
you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from
state to state.

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.
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 DepartmentArbitration1000 Sylvan AvenueEnglewood 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 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 purchaser’s purchase of the product by either: (i) sending
an e-mail to [email protected], with the subject line: “Arbitration Opt Out” or (ii) calling 1-800-980-2973.
You must include in the opt out e-mail or provide by telephone: (a) your name and address; (b) the date
on which the product was purchased; (c) the product model name or model number; and (d) the IMEI or
MEID or Serial Number, as applicable (the IMEI or MEID or Serial Number can be found (i) on the product
box; (ii) on a label on the back of the product beneath the battery, if the battery is removable; or (iii) from
the settings menu via the following path: Settings > About phone > Status). You may only opt out of the
dispute resolution procedure in the manner described above (that is, by e-mail or telephone); no other form
of notice will be effective to opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. Opting out of this dispute resolution
procedure will not affect the coverage of the Limited Warranty in any way, and you will continue to enjoy the
full benefits of the Limited Warranty. If you keep this product and do not opt out, then you accept all terms
and conditions of the arbitration provision described above.
