Subject
The VX4400B phone has been designed to operate on
the latest digital mobile communication technology,
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). This CDMA
digital technology has greatly enhanced voice clarity and
can provide a variety of advanced features. Currently,
CDMA mobile communication technology has been
commercially used in Cellular and Personal
Communication Service (PCS).
The difference between Cellular and PCS is operating
frequency. Cellular uses 800Mhz and PCS uses 1.9Ghz.
Also, the VX4400B works on Advanced Mobile Phone
Service (AMPS). We call it a tri-mode phone. Since the
phone operates on Cellular, PCS andAMPS, the call fail
rate is less than on a conventional dual-mode or single-
mode phone.
CDMA technology adopts DSSS (Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum). DSSS enables the phone to keep
communication from being crossed and enables multiple
users in the same specific area to use one frequency
channel, resulting in a 10 fold increase in capacity when
compared with the analog mode currently used.
Soft/Softer Handoff, Hard Handoff, and Dynamic RF
power Control technologies are combined into this phone
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.
(6) This limited warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied
either in fact or by operations of law, statutory or otherwise, including but not
limitedtoanyimplied warrantyofmarketabilitymerchantability or fitnessfor
a particular use.
(7) Damage resulting from use of non-LG approved accessories.
(8) All plastic surfaces and all other externally exposed parts that are scratched or
damaged due to normal customer use.
(9) Products operated outside published maximum ratings.
(10) Products used or obtained in a rental program.
(11) Consumables (such as fuses).
3. STATE LAW RIGHTS:
N o other express warranty is applicable to this product. THE DURATION OF
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED
WARRANTY OF MARKETABILITY OR MERCHANTABILITY, IS
LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESS WARRANTY
HEREIN. LG INFOCOMM U.S.A., INC. SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR
THE LOSS OF THE USE OF THE PRODUCT, INCONVENIENCE, LOSS
OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, DIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL,
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THIS
PRODUCT OR FOR ANY BREACH OF ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
WARRANTY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MARKETABILITY OR MERCHANTABILITY APPLICABLE TO THIS
PRODUCT.
Some states do not allow the exclusive of limitation of incidental or
consequential damages or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts; so
these limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you
specific legal rights and you may also have other rights, which vary from state
to state.

anywhere in the continental United States:

Before You Start
Safety Instructions
WARNING! To reduce the possibility of electric shock, do
not expose your phone to high humidity areas, such as the
bathroom, swimming pool, etc.
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 the explosion. Do not use
batteries and desktop chargers for the other purposes other
than their original purpose of using for the phone.
Using other batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may
cause damage.
Always store your phone away from heat. Never store your
phone in settings that may expose it to temperatures less than
32°F or greater than 104°F, such as outside during a snow
storm or in your car on a hot day. Exposure to excessive cold
or heat will result in malfunction, damage and/or catastrophic
failure.
Be careful when using your phone near other electronic
devices. RF emissions from your mobile phone may affect
inadequately shielded electronic equipment nearby.You should
consult with 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. Never
place your phone in a microwave oven as it will cause the
battery to explode.
IMPORTANT! Please read the TIA SAFETY
INFORMATION on page 111 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.

components should not be used. Body-worn accessories that
cannot maintain 3/4inch (2 cm) separation distance between
the user’s body and the back of the phone, and have not been
tested for typical body-worn operations may not comply with
FCC RF exposure limits and should be avoided.
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.
