Some parts of your tablet device are made of glass. This glass 

could break if your device is dropped on a hard surface or receives 

a substantial impact. If the glass breaks, do not touch or attempt to 

remove it. Stop using your device until the glass is replaced by an 

authorised service provider.

Keep the device in a safe place out of the reach of small children. It 

includes small parts which may cause a choking hazard if detached. 

This device also contains an internal battery that can be hazardous if 

the device is not used or maintained properly.

•  You do not need to completely discharge the battery before 

recharging. Unlike other battery systems, there is no memory effect 

that could compromise the battery’s performance.

•  Use only LG batteries and chargers. LG chargers are designed to 

maximise the battery life.

•  Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
•  Recharge the battery if it has not been used for a long time to 

maximise usability.

•  Do not expose the battery charger to direct sunlight or use it in 

high humidity, such as in the bathroom. 

Do not leave the device in hot or cold places, as this may 

deteriorate battery performance.

•  There is risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect 

type.

•  Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s 

instructions. Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as 

household waste.

•  If you need to replace the battery, take it to the nearest authorised 

LG Electronics service point or dealer for assistance.

•  Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the tablet 

is fully charged to save unnecessary power consumption of the 

charger.

•  Actual battery life will depend on network configuration, product 

settings, usage patterns, battery and environmental conditions.

•  Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal’s teeth or 

nails, come into contact with the battery. This could cause a fire.

•  For your safety, do not remove the battery incorporated in the 

product.

Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless devices in the 

areas where you drive and always obey them. Also, if using your device 

while driving, please observe the following:

Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information. 
This tablet device model LG-V500 has been designed to comply with 

applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. These 

requirements are based on scientific 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 Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). Tests for SAR are 

conducted using standardised methods with the device transmitting 

at its highest certified power level in all used frequency bands.

•  While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various 

LG device 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 2 W/kg averaged 

over 10 g of tissue.

•  The highest SAR value for this device when worn on the body, as 

described in this user guide, is 0.720 W/kg.

•  This device meets RF exposure guidelines.

you do not turn on or off the tablet close to your ear. We also 

recommend that music volumes are set to a reasonable level.

•  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.
