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.
●Never store your phone in temperatures less than -4°F or greater than 122°F.
●Do not dispose of your battery by fire or with hazardous or flammable materials.
●When riding in a car, do not leave your phone or set up the hands-free kit near to the air

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 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 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.

●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 rubber plugs, 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.
●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.

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
accidental damage or misuse. 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 VX3400 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 VX3400 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 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).
*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.
