IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Important Safety Precautions
1. Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct
sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as a
bathroom.
2. Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene,
thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean your phone. This could
cause a fire.
3. Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. It may harm
the internal circuit boards of the phone.
4. Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as the phone
may generate sparks.
5. 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.
6. Do not place any heavy items on the power cord. Do not
allow the power cord to be crimped as it may cause electric
shock or fire.
7. Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is being
charged. It may cause an electric shock or seriously damage
your phone.
8. Do not disassemble the phone.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may
short-circuit the phone and/or cause electric shock or fire.
2. Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your
body during a call.
3.
Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal’s teeth or
nails, come into contact with the battery. This could cause a fire.
4. Store the battery out of reach of children.
5. 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 resulting in
serious injury or death.
6. Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning storms
to avoid electric shock or fire.
7.
Only use the batteries and chargers provided by LG. The warranty
will not be applied to products provided by other suppliers.
8. Only authorized personnel should service the phone and
its accessories. Faulty installation or service may result in
accidents and consequently invalidate the warranty.
9. Your service provider programs one or more emergency
phone numbers, such as 911, that you can call under any
circumstances, even when your phone is locked. Your phone’s
preprogrammed emergency number(s) may not work in all
locations, and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed
due to network, environmental, or interference issues.

TECHNICAL DETAILS
Important Information
This user’s guide provides important
information on the use and
operation of your phone. Please
read this guide carefully prior to
using the phone to be able to
use your phone to its greatest
advantage and to prevent any
accidental damage or misuse.
Any unapproved changes or
modifications will void your
warranty.
Technical Details
The LG9600 is an all digital phone
that operates on both Code Division
Multiple Access (CDMA) frequencies:
cellular services at 800 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).
1xRTT system receives twice as
many subscribers in the wireless
section as IS-95. Its battery life is
twice as long as IS-95. High-speed
data transmission is also possible.
EV-DO system is optimized for data
service and is much faster than
1xRTT system in applicable area.
The table on the following page lists
some major CDMA standards.
