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 toprevent any damage to or
misuse of the phone. Any
unapproved changes or
modifications will void your
warranty.
Technical Details
The LG Exchange is an all digital
phone that operates on both
Code Division Multiple Access
(CDMA) frequencies: Cellular
services at800 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).

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.
Vehicle-Mounted the External
Antenna
(Optional, if available.)
To satisfy FCC RF exposure
requirements, keep 8 inches (20
cm) between the user /
