For Your Safety
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
• 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.

6For Your Safety
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.
• 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.

7For Your Safety

• 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 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

• Only authorized personnel should service the phone and its accessories.
Faulty installation or service may result in accidents and consequently

• 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
• 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.

8For Your Safety
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the
phone kept 1 cm (0.39 inches) between the user’s body and the back of the
phone. To comply with FCC/ISEDC RF exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 1 cm (0.39 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 cm (0.39 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/ISEDC
RF exposure limits and should be avoided.
FCC Part 15 Class B Compliance
This device complies with part 15 of FCC rules and ISEDC license-exempt RSS
standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Part 15.105 statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference with radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you
can try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.

9For Your Safety
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Cautions for Battery
• Do not disassemble.
• Do not short-circuit.
• Do not expose to high temperature: 140°F (60°C).
• Do not incinerate.
Battery Disposal
• Please dispose of your battery properly or bring to your local wireless
carrier for recycling.
• Your phone contains an internal battery. Do not dispose of your battery by
fire or with hazardous or flammable materials.
Adapter (Charger) Cautions
• Using the wrong battery charger could damage your phone and void your
warranty.
• The adapter or battery charger is intended for indoor use only.
• Do not expose the adapter or battery charger to direct sunlight or use it in
places with high humidity, such as the bathroom.
Avoid damage to your hearing
• Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed to loud sounds for
long periods of time. We therefore recommend that you do not turn on or
off the handset close to your ear. We also recommend that music and call
volumes are set to a reasonable level.
• If you are listening to music whilst out and about, please ensure that the
volume is at a reasonable level so that you are aware of your surroundings.
This is particularly imperative when attempting to cross the street.
