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.
UX280_Eng_081205.qxd 12/5/08 5:05 PM Page 2

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.

interference, and (2) this device
and its accessories must accept
any interference received,
including interference that causes
undesired operation.
Industry Canada Compliance
This phone complies with
Industry Canada RSS 133. This
phone complies with the Class B
limits for radio noise emissions as
set out in the interference
causing standard entitled "Digital

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 0.9 inches (2.0 cm) from
the body. To comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements, a
minimum separation distance of
0.9 inches (2.0 cm) must be
maintained between the user’s
body and the back of the phone,
including the antenna, whether

similar accessories containing
metallic components should not
be used. Avoid the use of
accessories that cannot maintain
0.9 inches (2.0 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 requirements. For more
information about RF exposure,
visit the FCC website at
www.fcc.gov.
Caution
Use only the supplied and
approved antenna. Use of
unauthorized antennas or
modifications could impair call
quality, damage the phone, void
your warranty and/or result in
violation of FCC and IC
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
