Important Safety Precautions
Read these simple guidelines. Breaking the rules may be dangerous or illegal. Further detailed information is given in this
user guide.
Violation of the instructions may cause serious injury or death.
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.
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.
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.

Important Safety Precautions
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.

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
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.

Welcome
Thank you for choosing the advanced and compact VX4700
cellular phone, designed to operate with the latest digital
mobile communication technology, Code Division Multiple
Access (CDMA) and Advanced Mobile Phone Service
(AMPS). Along with the many advanced features of the
CDMA system, such as greatly enhanced voice clarity, this
phone offers:
Large, easy-to-read, 7-line backlight LCD with status
icons.
Paging, messaging, voice mail, and caller ID.
18-key keypad.
Speaker phone feature.
Menu-driven interface with prompts for easy operation
and configuration.
Any key answer, auto answer, auto retry, one-touch and
speed dialing with 99 memory locations.
Bilingual (English and Spanish) capabilities.
Push to Talk function.
Important Information
This user’s guide provides important information on the use
and operation of your phone. Please read all the information
carefully prior to using the phone for the best performance
and to prevent any damage to or misuse of the phone. Any
unapproved changes or modifications will void your
warranty.
FCC Part 15 Class B Compliance
This device and its accessories comply with part 15 of FCC
rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device and its accessories may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device and its accessories must
accept any interference received, including interference
that causes undesired operation.
Technical Details
The VX4700 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. Also, the VX4700 works on
Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS). We call it a tri-
mode phone. Since the phone operates on Cellular, PCS
and AMPS, the call fail rate is less than on a conventional
dual-mode or singlemode phone.
CDMA technology uses a feature called DSSS (Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum) that enables the phone to
VX4700_Eng_1.4_HAC.qxd 9/29/05 11:04 AM Page 7

8VX4700
Welcome
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). The following 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
wireless 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 3/4 inches (2 cm) from the body. To comply with
FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation
distance of 3/4 inches (2 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 similar accessories containing metallic
components should not be used. Avoid the use of
accessories that cannot maintain 3/4 inches (2 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 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 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.
