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.

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
