changes or modifications not expressly approved in this user's guide could
void your warranty for this equipment.
Before you begin
Safety Guidelines
WARNING
•
To reduce the possibility of electric shock, do not expose your product to high
humidity areas, such as bathroom or swimming pool.
Keep the phone away from heat. Never store your phone in environment
that may expose it to temperatures below 0°C or above 40°C, such as
outdoor during snowstorm, or in your car in hot days. Exposure to cold or
heat will result in malfunction, damage or permanent failure. Be careful
when using your phone near other electronic devices. The RF emissions
from mobile phones may affect nearby electronic equipment that not
adequately shielded. You should consult manufacturers of any personal
medical devices, as in the case of pacemakers and hearing aides, to
determine whether they are susceptible to interference from cell phones.
Turn off your phone in medical facilities or at gas stations. Never place
your phone in microwaves, as it will cause the battery to explode.
Important
•
Before using your phone, please read the SAFETY INFORMATION OF THE
TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION (TIA).

6
Safety Information
Read these simple guidelines. Breaking the rules may be illegal or
dangerous.
More detailed information is provided in this user's guide.
•
Never use an unapproved battery that could cause damages to the
phone or the battery itself, or even explode.
•
Never place your phone in a microwave oven, as this will result in an
explosion of the battery.
•
Do not dispose of your battery in fire or with hazardous or flammable
materials.
•
Make sure the battery does not come into contact with sharp-edged
items, such as animal teeth or claws. This could cause a fire.
•
Store the battery in a place out of the reach of children.
•
Be careful so that children do not swallow any parts of the phone,
such as rubber plugs (earpiece, parts that connect to the phone, etc.).
This could cause asphyxiation or suffocation.
•
Disconnect the plug and charger from the outlet when the phone
shows that the battery has been fully charged, because it may cause
electric shock or fire hazard.
•
When in the car, do not leave your phone, or install a hands-free kit,
near the airbag. If wireless equipment is improperly installed, you can
be seriously injured if the airbag is deployed.
•
Do not use mobile phone while driving.
•
Do not use the phone in areas where its usage is prohibited. (For
example: in airplanes).
•
Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct sunlight, or
use it in places with high humidity, such as bathroom.
•
Never store your phone in temperatures lower than -20°C or higher
than 50°C.

7
•
Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene, solvents, etc.)
or detergents to clean the phone. This could cause fire.
•
Do not drop the phone, strike it, or shake it hard.
Such actions may harm the phone's internal circuit boards.
•
Do not use your phone in high explosive areas, as this may generate
sparks.
•
Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting, pulling, or
heating it. Do not use the plug if it is loose as it may cause fire or
electric shock.
•
Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is charging. This can
cause electric shock or seriously damage your phone.
•
Do not disassemble the phone.
•
Do not make or answer calls while charging the phone, which can
cause a short circuit, electric shock, or fire.
•
Use only batteries and chargers provided by LG. The warranty does
not apply to products provided by other providers.
•
Only authorized personnel should service the phone and its
accessories.
Installation or service may result in accidents and consequently
invalidate the warranty.
•
Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your body during
a call.
•
Emergency calls can be made only within a service area. To make
an emergency call, make sure you are within a service area and the
phone is on.
•
Use your accessories, such as headphones or headsets, with caution,
ensuring that the cables are plugged properly and that they do not
touch the antenna unnecessarily.

Information about the RF exposure from FCC
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 96-502, 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
international and U.S. standards.
The design of this phone complies with FCC guidelines and these
international standards.
Caution
Use only the supplied antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas, or
modifications, could impair call quality, damage the phone, void your
warranty, or result in a violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna.
A damaged antenna in contact with the skin could cause a singe. Contact
your local dealer for an antenna replacement.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body operation, keeping a distance of
1cm (0.39inch) between the user's body and the back of the phone. To
comply with RF exposure requirements of the FCC standards, a minimum
distance of 1cm (0.39inch) between the user's body and the back of the
phone is required.
Belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components
from others manufacturers should not be used.
Accessories worn close to the body, without keeping a minimum distance
of 1cm (0.39inch) between the user's body and the back of the phone,
and that have not been tested for typical body operation, may not comply
with FCC's RF exposure limits and should be avoided.

9
