WARNING! To reduce the possibility of electric
shock, do not expose your phone to high humidity
areas, such as a bathroom, swimming area, etc.
Caution: Use only LG-approved batteries and
desktop chargers to avoid the damage to the
phone. Using other batteries or chargers voids
your warranty and may cause the explosion.
Caution: Do not use batteries and desktop
chargers for purposes other than the intended use.
Never store your phone in temperatures less than
-20°C or greater than 50°C, such as outside during
a snowstorm or in your car on a hot day. Exposure
to excessive cold or heat may result in phone
malfunction, damage and/or failure.
Use caution when using your phone near other
electronic devices. RF emissions from your mobile
phone may affect nearby inadequately shielded
electronic equipment. Consult manufacturers of
any personal medical devices such as pacemakers
and hearing aides to determine if they are
susceptible to interference from your mobile
phone. Turn off your phone in a medical facility or
at a gas station.
IMPORTANT! Please read the TIA safety information in
chapter 6 before using your phone.

F CC RF Exposure Information
WARNING! Read this information before
operating the phone.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications (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.
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 regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If the
damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin a
minor burn may result. Contact your local dealer for a
replacement of antenna.
Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for typical usage with the back of
the phone kept 3/4 in (2 cm) from the body. To comply
with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 3/4 inches (2 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 3/4 in (2 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.
Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna
(Optional, if available.)
Aminimum distance of 8 in (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.
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 cause undesired operation.
Battery Safety
Do not disassemble.
Do not short-circuit.
Do not expose to high temperatures :60 °C (140 °F)
Do not incinerate.
