Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will cause the battery to explode.
Do not dispose of your battery by fire or with hazardous or flammable materials.
Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal’s teeth, nails, come into contact with the
battery. There is a risk of this causing a fire.

Important Safety Precautions
Warning

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 or greater than 122°F.
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.

Important Safety Precautions

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 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 serious-
ly 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 with-
in a service area and that the phone is turned on.

Welcome

Technical Details
The VX6100 is a tri-mode phone (1.9 GHz CDMA, 800 MHz
CDMA/AMPS) that operates on both Code Division Multiple
Access (CDMA) frequencies: cellular services at 800 MHz and
Personal Communication Services (PCS) at 1.9 GHz. Also, the
VX6100 works on Advanced Mobile Phone Service(AMPS).
CDMA technology uses a feature called DSSS (Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum) that enables the phone to keep communica-
tion 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 addi-
tion, 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). The fol-
lowing table lists some major CDMA standards.
* TSB -74: Protocol between an IS-95A system and ANSI J-
STD-008
1xRTT system receives twice as many subscribers in the wire-
less section as IS-95. Its battery life is twice as long as IS-95.
High-speed data transmission is also possible.

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.
Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for typical use with the back of the
phone kept 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) from the body. To comply with
FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance
of 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) must be maintained between the user’s
body and the back of the phone, including the antenna, whether
extended or retracted. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and simi-
lar accessories containing metallic components should not be
used. Avoid the use of accessories that cannot maintain 0.6
inches (1.5 cm) distance between the user’s body and the back
of the phone and have not been tested for compliance with FCC
RF exposure limits.
Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna
(Optional, if available.)
A minimum separation distance of 8 inches (20 cm) must be
maintained between the user / bystander and the vehicle-
mounted external antenna to satisfy FCC RF exposure require-
ments. For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC
website at www.fcc.gov.
Caution
Use only the supplied and approved antenna. Use of unautho-
rized antennas or modifications could impair call quality, dam-
age the phone, void your warranty and/or result in violation of
FCC regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with the skin a minor burn may
result. Contact your local dealer for a replacement antenna.
