Important Information
This user’s guide provides
important information on the use
and operation of your phone.
Please read all the information
carefully prior to using the
phone for the best performance
and to prevent any damage to or
misuse of the phone. Any
unapproved changes or
modifications will void your
warranty.
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 LG Bliss is an all digital 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).

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 guidelinesare
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-
partybelt-clips, holsters, and
similar accessories containing
metallic componentsshould not
be used. Avoid the use of
accessories that cannot maintain
0.79inches (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.
