Important Safety Precautions
1. Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct
sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as
a bathroom.
2. Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene,
thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean your phone. This
could cause a fire.
3. Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. It
may harm the internal circuit boards of the phone.
4. Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as the
phone may generate sparks.
5. Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting,
pulling, or heating. Do not use the plug if it is loose as
it may cause a fire or electric shock.
6. Do not place any heavy items on the power cord. Do
not allow the power cord to be crimped as it may
cause electric shock or fire.
7. Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is
being charged. It may cause an electric shock or
seriously damage your phone.
8. Do not disassemble the phone.

Important Safety Precautions
1. Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may
short-circuit the phone and/or cause electric shock or fire.
2. Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your body
during a call.
3. 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.
4. Store the battery out of reach of children.
5. Be careful that children do not swallow any parts (such as
rubber plugs, earphone, connection parts of the phone, etc.)
This could cause asphyxiation or suffocation resulting in serious
injury or death.
6. Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning storms to
avoid electric shock or fire.
7. Only use the batteries and chargers provided by LG. The
warranty will not be applied to products provided by other
suppliers.
8. Only authorized personnel should service the phone and its
accessories. Faulty installation or service may result in accidents
and consequently invalidate the warranty.
9. Your service provider programs one or more emergency phone
numbers, such as 911, that you can call under any
circumstances, even when your phone is locked. Your phone’s
preprogrammed emergency number(s) may not work in all
locations, and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed
due to network, environmental, or interference issues.

FCC Part 15 Class B
Compliance
This device and its accessories
comply with part 15 of FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This
device and its accessories may not
cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device and its accessories
must accept any interference
received, including interference
that causes undesired operation.
Technical Details
The is a trimode
phone that operates on both
(Code Division Multiple Access
CDMA) frequencies: cellular
services at 800 MHz and
(Personal Communication Services
PCS) at 1.9 GHz.
CDMA technology uses a feature
called DSSS (Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum) that enables
the phone to keep communication
from being crossed and to use one
frequency channel by multiple
users in the same specific area.
This results in a 10-fold capacity
increase when compared with
analog mode. In addition, features
such as soft / softer handoff, hard
handoff, and dynamic RF power
control technologies combine to
reduce call interruptions.
The Cellular and PCS CDMA
networks consist of MSO
(Mobile Switching Office), BSC
(Base Station Controller), BTS
(Base Station Transmission
System), and MS (Mobile
Station).

IS-95A system and ANSI J-

FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING! Read this
information before operating
the phone.
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
U.S. and international standards
bodies. The design of this phone
complies with the FCC guidelines
and these international
standards.
Bodily Contact During
Operation
This device was tested for typical
use with the back of the phone
kept 0.79 inches (2.0 cm) from
the body. To comply with FCC
RF exposure requirements, a
minimum separation distance of
0.79 inches (2.0 cm) must be
maintained between the user’s
body and the back of the phone,
including the antenna, whether
extended or retracted. Third-
party belt-clips, holsters, and
similar accessories containing
metallic components should not
be used. Avoid the use of
accessories that cannot maintain
0.79 inches (2.0 cm) distance
between the user’s body and the
back of the phone and have not
been tested for compliance with
FCC RF exposure limits.

Technical Details
Vehicle-Mounted the External
Antenna
(Optional, if available.)
To satisfy FCC RF exposure
requirements, keep 8 inches (20
cm) between the user /
bystander and vehicle-mounted
the external antenna. For more
information about RF exposure,
visit the FCC website at
www.fcc.gov.
FCC Notice and Cautions
This device and its accessories
comply with part 15 of FCC
rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1)
This device and its accessories
may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device
and its accessories must accept
any interference received,
including interference that
causes undesired operation.
Any changes or modifications
not expressly approved in this
user guide could void your
warranty for this equipment. Use
only the supplied antenna. Use
of unauthorized antennas (or
modifications to the antenna)
could impair call quality, damage
the phone, void your warranty
and/or violate FCC regulations.
Don't use the phone with a
damaged antenna. A damaged
antenna could cause a minor skin
burn. Contact your local dealer
for a replacement antenna.
