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.
Industry Canada
Compliance
This phone complies with Industry
Canada RSS 133. This phone complies
with the Class B limits for radio noise
emissions as set out in the interference
causing standard entitled "Digital
Apparatus"
(ICES-003) of Industry Canada.
Technical Details
The LG 800 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
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 0.6
inches (1.5 cm) from the body. To
comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation
distance of 0.6 inches (1.5 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 0.6
inches (1.5 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.

12
Technical Details
Technical Details
Vehicle-Mounted External
Antenna
(Optional, if available.)
A minimum separation distance of 8
inches (20 cm) must be maintained
between the user/ bystander and the
vehicle-mounted external antenna to
satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements.
For more information about RF
exposure, visit the FCC website at
www.fcc.gov.
Caution
Use only the supplied and approved
antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas
or modifications could impair call
quality, damage the phone, void your
warranty and/or result in violation of
FCC and IC regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged
antenna. If a damaged antenna comes
into contact with the skin a minor burn
may result. Contact your local dealer
for a replacement antenna.

Using the Touch Sensitive Keys
The LG 800 unique touchpad looks great and is fun to use. Get the most out of your
Chocolate touch keys by following these tips.
●
A light touch with clean and dry fingers work best for the heat sensitive
touchpad. Press directly in the center of the key to activate the key. Using
gloves or a phone case with a protective plastic covering may make the keypad
more difficult to use.
●
Protect your phone from severe impact because touchpad sensors may
become damaged from harsh use.
●
When your LG 800 screen and touchpad lights are off, it is deactivated. Simply
press Camera Key on the side of your Chocolate twice to activate the screen
and touch keypad.
●
During a call, the touchpad is automatically deactivated to prevent accidental
key presses. To access phone content while in a call press Camera Key twice
to reactivate the keys.
●
Keep metal and other conductive material away from the surface of the
touchpad because contact may cause electronic interference.
