Guidelines for safe and efficient
use
Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be
dangerous or illegal.
Should a fault occur, a software tool is built into your device that will gather a
fault log. This tool gathers only data specific to the fault, such as signal strength,
cell ID position in sudden call drop and applications loaded. The log is used only to
help determine the cause of the fault. These logs are encrypted and can only be
accessed by an authorised LG Repair centre should you need to return your device
for repair.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information.
This mobile phone model LG-M250dsF 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, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standardised methods with the phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all used frequency bands.
• While there may be differences 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 2 W/kg averaged over 10 g of tissue.
• The highest SAR value for this model phone tested for use at the ear is
0.000 W/kg (10 g) and when worn on the body is 0.000 W/Kg (10 g).
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
• This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use
position against the ear or when positioned at least 5 mm away from the
body. When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn operation, it
should not contain metal and should position the product at least 5 mm away
from your body. In order to transmit data files or messages, this device requires
a quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data files
or messages may be delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure the
above separation distance instructions are followed until the transmission is
completed.
Information about the RF exposure from FCC
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the
United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted
an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF)
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both
international and U.S. standards. The design of this device complies with
FCC guidelines and these international standards.
Part 15.19 statement
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
Part 15.21 Statement
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical bodyworn operations with the back of the device
kept 0.39 inches (1cm) between the user’s body and the back of the device. To
comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of
0.39 inches (1cm) must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of
the device.
Any beltclips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components
may not be used. Body-worn accessories that cannot maintain 0.39 inches (1cm)
separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the device, and have
not been tested for typical body-worn operations may not comply with FCC RF
exposure limits and should be avoided.
Part 15.105 Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Fingerprint recognition overview
Register your fingerprint on your device first before using the fingerprint
recognition function.
You can use the fingerprint recognition function in the following cases:
• To unlock the screen
• To view the locked content in Gallery or QuickMemo+
When confirming a purchase or signing in to an app, identify yourself by
simply touching the fingerprint sensor.
• Your fingerprint never changes for your whole life, and everyone has a
unique fingerprint. Therefore, your fingerprint can be used by the device
for user identification. Very similar fingerprints from different users
may be recognised by the fingerprint sensor as the same fingerprint.
To enhance the device security, set the screen lock to a pattern, PIN or
password.
• If your fingerprint is unrecognised or if you forget the backup PIN,
bring your device to the nearest LG Customer Service Centre and both
register a fingerprint and create a new backup PIN.
Precautions for fingerprint recognition
Fingerprint recognition accuracy may decrease. To maximise recognition
accuracy, check the following before using the device.
• The device's Power/Lock key has a fingerprint sensor. Ensure that the
Power/Lock key is not damaged by a metallic object, such as coin or
key.
• When water, dust or other foreign substance are on the Power/Lock
key or your finger, the fingerprint registration or recognition may
not work. Clean and dry your finger before having the fingerprint
recognised.
• A fingerprint may not be recognised properly if the surface of your
finger has a scar or is not smooth due to being soaked in water.
• If you bend your finger or use the fingertip only, your fingerprint
may not be recognised. Make sure that your finger covers the entire
surface of the Power/Lock key.
• Scan only one finger for each registration. Scanning more than one
finger may affect fingerprint registration and recognition.
• The device may generate static electricity if the surrounding air is dry.
If the surrounding air is dry, avoid scanning fingerprints, or touch a
metallic object such as a coin or key before scanning fingerprints to
remove static electricity.
Registering fingerprints
You can register and save your fingerprint on the device to use
fingerprint identification.
1 Tap
Settings General Fingerprints & security
Fingerprints.
• To use this feature, make sure that screen lock is set. If a screen lock
is not set, set the screen lock. See Configuring screen lock settings for
details.
2 Locate the Power/Lock key on the back of the device and gently put
your finger on it to register the fingerprint.
• Gently press the Power/Lock key so that the sensor can recognise your
fingerprint. If you press the Power/Lock key with an excessive force, the
screen lock function may start or the screen may be turned off.
• Ensure that your fingertip covers the entire surface of the sensor of
the Power/Lock key.
3 Follow the on-screen instructions.
• Repeat scanning the fingerprint by moving your finger little by little
until the fingerprint registers.
4 When the fingerprint registration is done, tap OK.
• Tap ADD MORE to register another fingerprint. If you register
only one fingerprint and the corresponding finger is not in a good
condition, the fingerprint recognition may not work well. As the
preventive measure against this kind of situation, register multiple
fingerprints.
Managing fingerprints
You can edit or delete registered fingerprints.
