Important Information
This user guide contains important
information on the use and operation of
this phone. Please read all the information
carefully for optimal performance and to
prevent any damage to or misuse of the
phone. Any changes or modifications not
expressly approved in this user guide could
void your warranty for this equipment.
Before You Start
Safety Instructions
WARNING!
To reduce the possibility of electric
shock, do not expose your phone to high
humidity areas, such as the bathroom,
swimming pool, etc.
Always store your phone away from heat.
Never store your phone in settings that
may expose it to temperatures less than
32°F (0°C) or greater than 104°F (40°C),
such as outside during extreme weather
conditions or in your car on a hot day.
Exposure to excessive cold or heat will result
in malfunction, damage and/or catastrophic
failure.
Be careful when using your phone near
other electronic devices.
RF emissions from your mobile phone
may affect nearby in adequately shielded
electronic equipment. You should consult
with 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. Never place your phone
in a microwave oven as this will cause the
battery to explode.
Safety Information
Read these simple guidelines. Breaking the
rules may be dangerous or illegal. Further
detailed information is given in this user
guide.
• Never use an unapproved battery since
this could damage the phone and/or
battery and could cause the battery to
explode.
For Your Safety

For Your Safety
• Never place your phone in a microwave
oven as it will cause the battery to
explode.
• Your phone contains an internal battery. Do
not dispose of your battery by fire or with
hazardous or flammable materials.
• Make sure that no sharpedged items
come into contact with the battery. There
is a risk of this causing a fire.
• Store the battery in a place out of reach
of children.
• Be careful that children do not swallow
any parts such as rubber plugs (earphone,
connection parts of the phone, etc.). This
could cause asphyxiation or suffocation.
• Unplug the power cord and charger during
lightning storms to avoid electric shock
or fire.
• When riding in a car, do not leave your
phone or set up the hands-free kit near
to the air bag. If wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the air bag is
activated, you may be seriously injured.
• Do not use a hand-held phone while
driving.
• Do not use the phone in areas where its
use is prohibited. (For example: aircraft).
• Do not expose the battery charger or
adapter to direct sunlight or use it in
places with high humidity, such as a
bathroom.
• Never store your phone in temperatures
less than -4°F (-20°C) or greater than
122°F (50°C).
• Do not use harsh chemicals (such as
alcohol, benzene, thinners, etc.) or
detergents to clean your phone. There is a
risk of this causing a fire.
• Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone
severely. Such actions may harm the
internal circuit boards of the phone.
• Do not use your phone in high explosive
areas as the phone may generate sparks.
• Do not damage the power cord by
bending, twisting, pulling, or heating.
• Do not use the plug if it is loose as it may
cause a fire or electric shock.
• Do not place any heavy items on the
power cord. Do not allow the power cord

7
to be crimped as it may cause fire or
electric shock.
• Do not handle the phone with wet hands
while it is being charged. It may cause an
electric shock or seriously damage your
phone.
• Do not disassemble the phone.
• Do not place or answer calls while
charging the phone as it may short-circuit
the phone and/or cause electric shock
or fire.
• Only use the batteries, antennas, and
chargers provided by LG. The warranty
will not be applied to products provided by
other suppliers.
• Only authorized personnel should service
the phone and its accessories. Faulty
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.
• An emergency call can be made only
within a service area. For an emergency
call, make sure that you are within a
service area and that the phone is turned
on.
• Use accessories, such as earphones and
headsets, with caution. Ensure that cables
are tucked away safely and do not touch
the antenna unnecessarily.
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.

For Your Safety
CAUTION
Use only the supplied and approved antenna.
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority
to operate the equipment. Do not use
the phone with a damaged antenna. If a
damaged antenna comes into contact with
skin, a minor burn may result. Contact your
local dealer for a replacement antenna.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn
operations with the back of the phone kept
1.5 cm (0.59 inches) between the user’s
body and the back of the phone. To comply
with FCC/IC RF exposure requirements, a
minimum separation distance of 1.5 cm
(0.59 inches) must be maintained between
the user’s body and the back of the phone.
Any belt-clips, holsters, and similar
accessories containing metallic components
may not be used.
Body-worn accessories that cannot maintain
1.5 cm (0.59 inches) separation distance
between the user’s body and the back of the
phone, and have not been tested for typical
bodyworn operations may not comply with
FCC/IC RF exposure limits and should be
avoided.
FCC Part 15 Class B Compliance
This device complies with part 15 of FCC
rules and IC license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that my
cause undesired operation.
