Additional Information

1. Radio frequency exposure

This 

Bluetooth

 LG Stereo Headset is a radio transmitter and receiver. When 

in operation, it communicates with a 

Bluetooth

-equipped mobile device 

by receiving and transmitting radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields 

(microwaves) in the frequency range 2402 to 2480 MHz. Your 

Bluetooth

 

headset is designed to operate in compliance with the RF exposure 

guidelines and limits set by national authorities and international health 

agencies when used with any compatible LG Electronics mobile phone.

2. 

Bluetooth

 connection precautions

The following environments affect the range and reception of 

Bluetooth

 signals:

- When walls, metal, human bodies, or other obstacles exist between the 

Bluetooth

 device and the connected device.

- When equipment that uses 2.4 GHz frequency signals (wireless LANs, 

wireless phones, microwave ovens, etc.) is placed near the devices being used.

- When using a 

Bluetooth

 device (TV, laptop, etc.) other than the mobile 

phone, the sound quality may be affected by the specifications and 

performance of the device.

3. Potentially explosive atmosphere

Turn off your electronic device when in any area with a potentially 

explosive atmosphere. Although this is uncommon, your electronic device 

could generate sparks. 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 clearly marked.

4. Battery information

A rechargeable battery has a long service life if treated properly. A new 

battery or one that has not been used for a long period of time could have 

reduced capacity the first few times it is used. Do not expose the battery to 

extreme temperatures, never above +50°C or below -10°C. For maximum 

battery capacity, use the battery at room temperature. If the battery is 

used in low temperatures, the battery capacity will be reduced. The battery 

can only be charged in temperatures between 0°C and +45°C.

5. Recycling the battery in your 

Bluetooth

 Headset

The battery in your 

Bluetooth

 Headset must be disposed of properly and 

should never be placed in municipal waste.

Important Safety Information

Avoiding hearing damage

Permanent hearing loss may occur if you use your headset at a high volume.

Set the volume to a safe level. Over time you can become accustomed to a 

higher volume that may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing.

If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and 

have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time that is 

required before your hearing could be affected.
Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:
•  Limit the amount of time you use the headset at a high volume.
•  Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
•  Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking 

near you.

Using headsets safely

Use of headsets to listen to music while operating a vehicle is not 

recommended and is illegal in some areas. Be careful and attentive while 

driving. Stop using this device if you find it disruptive or distracting while 

operating any type of vehicle or performing any other activity that requires 

your full attention.
