WARNING! To reduce the possibility of electric
shock, do not expose your phone to high
humidity areas, such as a bathroom,
swimming area, etc.
Caution: Use only LG-approved batteries and
desktop chargers to avoid the damage to the
phone. Using other batteries or chargers
voids your warranty and may cause an
explosion.
Caution: Do not use batteries and desktop
chargers for other than the intended
purposes.
Never store your phone in temperatures less
than -4° F or greater than 122° F, such as
outside during a snowstorm or in your car on
a hot day. Exposure to excessive cold or heat
may result in phone malfunction, damage
and/or failure.
Use caution when using your phone near
other electronic devices. RF emissions from
your mobile phone may affect nearby
inadequately shielded electronic equipment.
Consult manufacturers of any personal
medical devices such as pacemakers and
hearing aides to determine if they are
susceptible to interference from your mobile
phone. Turn off your phone in a medical
facility or at a gas station.
IMPORTANT! Please read the TIA safety
information in chapter 5 before using your phone.

FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING! Read this information
before operating the phone.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications
(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.
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 of antenna.
Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for typical use with the back
of the phone kept 3/4 in (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 in (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.)
Aminimum distance of 8 in (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.
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.
Battery Safety
Do not disassemble.
Do not short-circuit.
Do not expose to high temperatures :60 °C (140 °F)
Do not incinerate.

Talking on your phone for a long period of time may
reduce the call quality due to heat generated during
use.
When the phone is not used for a long period time,
store it in a safe place with the power cord unplugged.
Only use the batteries, antennas, and chargers
provided by LG. The warranty will not be applied to
products provided by other suppliers.
Using the phone in proximity to receiving equipment
(i.e., TV or radio) may cause interference in this phone.
Only authorized personnel should service the phone
and its accessories. Faulty installation or service may
result in accidents and consequently invalidate the
warranty.
Use only the antenna provided or approved by LG.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments
may affect the quality of phone call, damage the phone
or result in a violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the cellular phone if the antenna is
damaged. If the damaged antenna gets in contact with
the skin, it may cause a slight burn. Please contact LG
Authorized Service Center to replace the damaged
antenna.
Do not use the cellular phone in areas where its use is
prohibited. (For example: aircraft).

as a credit card, phone card, bank book or a subway ticket
near your phone. The magnetism of the phone may
damage the data stored in the magnetic strip.
Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with
your body during a call.
The power cord on this product will expose you to lead,
a chemical known to the State of California to cause
(cancer, and) birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.

Technical
Details
The VX6000 is a dual-band 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.
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.
