To reduce the possibility of electric shock,
Be careful when using your phone near other
electronic devices. RF emissions from your mobile
phone may affect nearby inadequately shielded
electronic equipment. 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 this will cause the battery to explode.
IMPORTANT!
INFORMATION on page 72 before using your phone.
Safety Information
Please read and observe the following information for
the safe and proper use of your phone and to prevent
any unanticipated damage. Also, keep the user’s manual
in an accessible place at all times after reading it.
• Unplug the power cord and charger during a
lightning storm to avoid electric shock or fire.
• Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as the
phone may generate sparks.
Please read the TIA SAFETY
LG240 Canada Rogers ENG_0825 2006.8.25 4:23 PM ˘`7
• Do not put your phone in a place subject to
excessive dust, and keep the minimum required
distance between the power cord and heat sources.
• Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting,
pulling, or subjecting it to heat. Do not use the plug
if it is loose as it may cause fire or electric shock.
• Hold the power cord plug firmly to plug and unplug
the power cord. Ensure the plug is firmly connected.
If it is not firmly connected, it may cause excessive
heat or fire.
• Do not place a heavy item on the power cord. Do not
allow the power cord to be crimped as it may cause
fire or electric shock.
• Be careful not to let the battery contact metal
conductors such as a necklace or coins. When

such as a credit card, phone card or a subway ticket,
near your phone. The magnetic strip can be
damaged by the phone.
• Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with
your body during a call.
• Talking on your phone for a long period of time may
reduce the call quality due to heat generated during
the use of the phone.

FCC RF Exposure Information
For Your Safety
WARNING!
the phone.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications (FCC)

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.
Read this information before operating
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 skin, a
minor burn may result. Contact your local dealer for a
replacement antenna.

accessories containing metallic components should
not be used. Body-worn accessories that cannot
maintain 3/4 inch (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.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC
website at www.fcc.gov
