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.
Technical Details
The LG Converse™ 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).
* TSB-74: Protocol between an IS-95A system and ANSI J-STD-008
Its battery life is twice as long as IS-95. High-speed data transmission is also
possible.

and international standards bodies. The design of this phone complies with
the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
