Read these simple guidelines. Breaking the rules may be dangerous or illegal. Further detalied 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.

voice clarity, this phone offers:
●Large, easy-to-read, 8-line backlight LCD with
status icons.
●Paging, messaging, voice mail, and caller ID.
●Camera
●20-key keypad.
●Long battery standby and talk time.
●Menu-driven interface with prompts for easy
operation and configuration.
●Any key answer, auto answer, auto retry, one-touch
, speed dialing with 99 memory locations and voice
commands.
●Bilingual (English and Spanish) capabilities.
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 VX6100 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 VX6100 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.
Welcome

VX6100 9
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). 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 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 similar
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 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.
