Important Safety Precautions
Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct
sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as
a bathroom.
Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol,
benzene, thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean your
phone. This could cause a fire.
Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. It
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 electric shock or fire.
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.
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.

VX9600_Eng_1.0.qxd 1/19/09 9:35 AM Page 2

Do not place or answer calls while charging the
phone as it may short-circuit the phone and/or cause
electric shock or fire.
Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with
your body during a call.
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.
Store the battery out of reach of children.
Be careful that children do not swallow any parts
(such as earphone, connection parts of the phone,
etc.) This could cause asphyxiation or suffocation
resulting in serious injury or death.
Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning
storms to avoid electric shock or fire.
Only use the batteries 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.
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.
