Technical Details
Technical Details
The LG 285 is a trimode 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 LG 285 works on Advanced
Mobile Phone Service (Amps). Since
this phone operates on these three
Wireless networks the call fail rate is
less than on a conventional dual-mode
or single-mode 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. High-speed
data transmission is also possible.

FCC RF Exposure
Information
WARNING! Read this
information before operating the
phone.
In August 1996, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
of the United States, with its action
in Report and Order FCC 96-326,
adopted an updated safety
standard for human exposure to
Technical Details
Radio Frequency (RF)
electromagnetic energy emitted by
FCC regulated transmitters. Those
guidelines are consistent with the
safety standard previously set by
U.S, Canada and international
standards bodies.
The design of this phone complies
with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards.
14
Bodily Contact During
Operation
This device was tested for typical
use with the back of the phone
kept 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) from the
body. To comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 0.6 inches
(1.5 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 0.6 inches (1.5 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.
Page 15
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.
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 in contact with the
skin a minor burn may result.
Contact your local dealer for a
replacement antenna.

TIA(Telecommunications
Industry Association)
Safety Information
The following is the complete
TIA Safety Information for
wireless handheld phones.
Exposure to Radio Frequency
Signal
Your wireless handheld portable
phone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it
is ON, it receives and also sends
out Radio Frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal
Communications Commissions
(FCC) adopted RF exposure
guidelines with safety levels for
handheld wireless phones.
Those guidelines are consistent
with the safety standards
previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies:
l
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
Safety
l
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
l
ICNIRP (1996)
l
Health Canada, Safety Code 6,
1999.
Those standards were based on
comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant
scientific literature. For example,
over 120 scientists, engineers,
and physicians from universities,
government health agencies,
and industry reviewed the
available body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard
(C95.1).
The design of your phone
complies with the FCC
guidelines, IC Regulations (and
those standards).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an
approved replacement antenna.
Safety
67
Page 68
Safety
Unauthorised antennas,
modifications, or attachments
could damage the phone and
may violate FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the
phone as you would any other
telephone with the antenna
pointed up and over your
shoulder.
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most
Safety
efficiently:
Do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily when the phone is
in use. Contact with the antenna
affects call quality and may
cause the phone to operate at a
higher power level than
otherwise needed.
68
Driving
Check the laws and regulations
on the use of wireless phones in
the areas where you drive and
always obey them. Also, if using
your phone while driving, please
observe the following:
l
Give full attention to driving -driving safely is your first
responsibility;
l
Use hands-free operation, if
available;
l
Pull off the road and park before
making or answering
a call if
driving conditions or the law
so require.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic
equipment is shielded from RF
signals. However, certain
electronic equipment may not be
shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless phone.
Page 69
Pacemakers
The Health Industry
Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum
separation of six inches be
maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a
pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are
consistent with the independent
research by and
recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research.
Persons with Pacemakers:
l
Should ALWAYS keep the
phone more than six inches
from their pacemaker when
the phone is turned ON;
l
Should not carry the phone in
a breast pocket;
l
Should use the ear opposite
the pacemaker to minimize
the potential for interference;
l
Should turn the phone OFF
immediately if there is any
reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones
may interfere with some hearing
aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to
consult your service provider (or
call the customer service line to
discuss alternatives.) Optional
for each phone manufacturer.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal
medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately
shielded from external RF
energy. Your physician may be
able to assist you in obtaining
this information.
Health Care Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in health
care facilities when any
Safety
69
Page 70
Safety
regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or
health care facilities may use
equipment that could be sensitive
to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly
installed or inadequately
shielded electronic systems in
motor vehicles. Check with the
manufacturer or its
representative regarding your
vehicle. You should also consult
the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added
Safety
to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any
facility where posted notices so
require.
Aircraft
FCC and Transport Canada
regulations prohibit using your
phone while in the air. Switch
70
OFF your phone before boarding
an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting
operations, turn your phone OFF
when in a “blasting area” or in
areas posted: “Turn off two-way
radio”. Obey all signs and
instructions.
Potentially Explosive
Atmosphere
Turn your phone OFF when in any
area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs
and instructions. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or
fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere are often, but not
always marked clearly. Potential
areas may include: fueling areas
(such as gasoline stations); below
deck on boats; fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities;
Page 71
vehicles using liquefied
petroleum gas (such as propane
or butane); areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles
(such as grain, dust, or metal
powders); and any other area
where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle
engine.
For Vehicles Equipped with an
Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great
force. DO NOT place objects,
including either installed or
portable wireless equipment, in
the area over the air bag or in
the air bag deployment area. If
in-vehicle wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the air
bag inflates, serious injury could
result.
Charger and Adapter Safety
l
The charger and adapter are
intended for indoor use only.
l
Do not expose the battery
charger or adapter to direct
sunlight or use it in places
with high humidity, such as a
bathroom.

1. Do wireless phones pose a
health hazard?
The available scientific evidence
does not show that any health
problems are associated with
using wireless phones. There is
no proof, however, that wireless
phones are absolutely safe.
Wireless phones emit low levels
of radiofrequency energy (RF) in
the microwave range while
being used. They also emit very
low levels of RF when in the
Main Menu Screen. Whereas
high levels of RF can produce
health effects (by heating tissue),
exposure to low level RF that
Page 77
does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health
effects. Many studies of low
level RF exposures have not
found any biological effects.
Some studies have suggested
that some biological effects may
occur, but such findings have not
been confirmed by additional
research. In some cases, other
researchers have had difficulty
in reproducing those studies, or
in determining the reasons for
inconsistent results.
2. What is the FDA's role
concerning the safety of
wireless phones?
Under the law, the FDA does not
review the safety of radiationemitting consumer products such
as wireless phones before they
can be sold, as it does with new
drugs or medical devices.
However, the agency has
authority to take action if
wireless phones are shown to
emit radiofrequency energy (RF)
at a level that is hazardous to the
user. In such a case, the FDA
could require the manufacturers
of wireless phones to notify
users of the health hazard and to
repair, replace, or recall the
phones so that the hazard no
longer exists.
Although the existing scientific
data do not justify FDA
regulatory actions, the FDA has
urged the wireless phone
industry to take a number of
steps, including the following:
l
Support needed research into
possible biological effects of
RF of the type emitted by
wireless phones.
l
Design wireless phones in a
way that minimizes any RF
exposure to the user that is
not necessary for device
function; and cooperate in
Safety
77
Page 78
Safety
providing users of wireless
phones with the best possible
information on possible
effects of wireless phone use
on human health.
The FDA belongs to an
interagency working group of the
federal agencies that have
responsibility for different
aspects of RF safety to ensure
coordinated efforts at the federal
level. The following agencies
belong to this working group:
l
National Institute for
Safety
Occupational Safety and
Health
l
Environmental Protection
Agency
l
Occupational Safety and
Health Administration
l
National Telecommunications
and Information
Administration
The National Institutes of Health
participates in some interagency
78
working group activities, as well.
The FDA shares regulatory
responsibilities for wireless
phones with the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC). All phones that are sold in
the United States must comply
with FCC safety guidelines that
limit RF exposure.
The FCC relies on the FDA and
other health agencies for safety
questions about wireless
phones.
The FCC also regulates the base
stations that the wireless phone
networks rely upon. While these
base stations operate at higher
power than do the wireless
phones themselves, the RF
exposures that people get from
these base stations are typically
thousands of times lower than
those they can get from wireless
phones. Base stations are thus
not the subject of the safety
questions discussed in this
document.
Page 79
3. What kinds of phones are the
subject of this update?
The term “wireless phone”
refers here to handheld wireless
phones with built-in antennas,
often called “cell”, “mobile”, or
“PCS” phones. These types of
wireless phones can expose the
user to measurable
radiofrequency energy (RF)
because of the short distance
between the phone and the
user’s head. These RF exposures
are limited by FCC safety
guidelines that were developed
with the advice of the FDA and
other federal health and safety
agencies. When the phone is
located at greater distances
from the user, the exposure to RF
is drastically lower because a
person's RF exposure decreases
rapidly with increasing distance
from the source. The so called
“cordless phones,” which have
a base unit connected to the
telephone wiring in a house,
typically operate at far lower
power levels, and thus produce
RF exposures far below the FCC
safety limits.
4. What are the results of the
research done already?
The research done thus far has
produced conflicting results, and
many studies have suffered from
flaws in their research methods.
Animal experiments investigating
the effects of radiofrequency
energy (RF) exposures
characteristic of wireless
phones have yielded conflicting
results that often cannot be
repeated in other laboratories. A
few animal studies, however,
have suggested that low levels
of RF could accelerate the
development of cancer in
laboratory animals. However,
many of the studies that showed
increased tumor development
Safety
79
Page 80
Safety
used animals that had been
genetically engineered or
treated with cancer-causing
chemicals so as to be predisposed to develop cancer in
the absence of RF exposure.
Other studies exposed the
animals to RF for up to 22 hours
per day. These conditions are
not similar to the conditions
under which people use wireless
phones, so we don’t know with
certainty what the results of
such studies mean for human
health. Three large epidemiology
Safety
studies have been published
since December 2000. Between
them, the studies investigated
any possible association
between the use of wireless
phones and primary brain
cancer, glioma, meningioma, or
acoustic neuroma, tumors of the
brain or salivary gland, leukemia,
or other cancers. None of the
studies demonstrated the
80
existence of any harmful health
effects from wireless phone RF
exposures. However, none of the
studies can answer questions
about long-term exposures,
since the average period of
phone use in these studies was
around three years.
5. What research is needed to
decide whether RF exposure
from wireless phones poses a
health risk?
A combination of laboratory
studies and epidemiological
studies of people actually using
wireless phones would provide
some of the data that are
needed. Lifetime animal
exposure studies could be
completed in a few years.
However, very large numbers of
animals would be needed to
provide reliable proof of a
cancer promoting effect if one
exists. Epidemiological studies
can provide data that is directly
Page 81
applicable to human populations,
but 10 or more years follow-up
may be needed to provide
answers about some health
effects, such as cancer. This is
because the interval between
the time of exposure to a cancercausing agent and the time
tumors develop — if they do —
may be many, many years. The
interpretation of epidemiological
studies is hampered by
difficulties in measuring actual
RF exposure during day-to-day
use of wireless phones. Many
factors affect this measurement,
such as the angle at which the
phone is held, or which model of
phone is used.
6. What is the FDA doing to find
out more about the possible
health effects of wireless
phone RF?
The FDA is working with the U.S.
National Toxicology Program and
with groups of investigators
around the world to ensure that
high priority animal studies are
conducted to address important
questions about the effects of
exposure to radio frequency
energy (RF). The FDA has been a
leading participant in the World
Health Organization International
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)
Project since its inception in
1996. An influential result of this
work has been the development
of a detailed agenda of research
needs that has driven the
establishment of new research
programs around the world. The
project has also helped develop
a series of public information
documents on EMF issues. The
FDA and the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet
Association (CTIA) have a formal
Cooperative Research and
Development Agreement
(CRADA) to do research on
Safety
81
Page 82
Safety
wireless phone safety. The FDA
provides the scientific oversight,
obtaining input from experts in
government, industry, and
academic organizations. CTIAfunded research is conducted
through contracts with
independent investigators. The
initial research will include both
laboratory studies and studies of
wireless phone users. The
CRADA will also include a broad
assessment of additional
research needs in the context of
the latest research
Safety
developments around the world.
7. How can I find out how much
radio frequency energy
exposure I can get by using my
wireless phone?
All phones sold in the United
States must comply with Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC) guidelines that limit radio
frequency energy (RF)
82
exposures. The FCC established
these guidelines in consultation
with the FDA and the other
federal health and safety
agencies. The FCC limit for RF
exposure from wireless
telephones is set at a Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6
watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
The FCC limit is consistent with
the safety standards developed
by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineering (IEEE)
and the National Council on
Radiation Protection and
Measurement. The exposure
limit takes into consideration the
body’s ability to remove heat
from the tissues that absorb
energy from the wireless phone
and is set well below levels
known to have effects.
Manufacturers of wireless
phones must report the RF
exposure level for each model of
phone to the FCC. The FCC
Page 83
website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/
rfsafety) gives directions for
locating the FCC identification
number on your phone so you
can find your phone’s RF
exposure level in the online
listing.
8. What has the FDA done to
measure the radio frequency
energy coming from wireless
phones?
The Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is
developing a technical standard
for measuring the radio
frequency energy (RF) exposure
from wireless phones and other
wireless handsets with the
participation and leadership of
FDA scientists and engineers.
The standard, “Recommended
Practice for Determining the
Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR) in the Human Body
Due to Wireless Communications
Devices: Experimental
Techniques” sets forth the first
consistent test methodology for
measuring the rate at which RF
is deposited in the heads of
wireless phone users. The test
method uses a tissue-simulating
model of the human head.
Standardized SAR test
methodology is expected to
greatly improve the consistency
of measurements made at
different laboratories on the
same phone. SAR is the
measurement of the amount of
energy absorbed in tissue, either
by the whole body or a small part
of the body. It is measured in
watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of
matter. This measurement is
used to determine whether a
wireless phone complies with
safety guidelines.

9. What steps can I take to
reduce my exposure to radio
frequency energy from my
wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these
products — and at this point we
do not know that there is — it is
probably very small. But if you
are concerned about avoiding
even potential risks, you can
take a few simple steps to
minimize your exposure to radio
frequency energy (RF). Since
time is a key factor in how much
exposure a person receives,
Safety
reducing the amount of time
spent using a wireless phone
will reduce RF exposure. If you
must conduct extended
conversations by wireless phone
every day, you could place more
distance between your body and
the source of the RF, since the
exposure level drops off
dramatically with distance. For
example, you could use a
84
headset and carry the wireless
phone away from your body or
use a wireless phone connected
to a remote antenna. Again, the
scientific data do not
demonstrate that wireless
phones are harmful. But if you
are concerned about the RF
exposure from these products,
you can use measures like those
described above to reduce your
RF exposure from wireless
phone use.
10. What about children using
wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not
show a danger to users of
wireless phones, including
children and teenagers. If you
want to take steps to lower
exposure to radio frequency
energy (RF), the measures
described above would apply to
children and teenagers using
wireless phones. Reducing the
Page 85
time of wireless phone use and
increasing the distance between
the user and the RF source will
reduce RF exposure. Some
groups sponsored by other
national governments have
advised that children be
discouraged from using wireless
phones at all. For example, the
government in the United
Kingdom distributed leaflets
containing such a
recommendation in December
2000. They noted that no
evidence exists that using a
wireless phone causes brain
tumors or other ill effects. Their
recommendation to limit wireless
phone use by children was
strictly precautionary; it was not
based on scientific evidence that
any health hazard exists.
11. What about wireless phone
interference with medical
equipment?
Radio frequency energy (RF)
from wireless phones can
interact with some electronic
devices. For this reason, the FDA
helped develop a detailed test
method to measure
electromagnetic interference
(EMI) of implanted cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators
from wireless telephones. This
test method is now part of a
standard sponsored by the
Association for the
Advancement of Medical
instrumentation (AAMI). The final
draft, a joint effort by the FDA,
medical device manufacturers,
and many other groups, was
completed in late 2000. This
standard will allow
manufacturers to ensure that
cardiac pacemakers and
defibrillators are safe from
Safety
85
Page 86
Safety
wireless phone EMI. The FDA
has tested hearing aids for
interference from handheld
wireless phones and helped
develop a voluntary standard
sponsored by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE). This standard
specifies test methods and
performance requirements for
hearing aids and wireless
phones so that no interference
occurs when a person uses a
“compatible” phone and a
“compatible” hearing aid at the
Safety
same time. This standard was
approved by the IEEE in 2000.
The FDA continues to monitor
the use of wireless phones for
possible interactions with other
medical devices. Should harmful
interference be found to occur,
the FDA will conduct testing to
assess the interference and
work to resolve the problem.

Consumer Information on
SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate)
This Model Phone Meets the
Government’s Requirements for
Exposure to Radio Waves. Your
wireless phone is a radio
transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not
to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radio frequency
(RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of
the U.S. Government. These
limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for
the general population. The
guidelines are based on
standards that were developed
by independent scientific
organizations through periodic
and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The standards
include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless
of age and health.
The exposure standard for
wireless mobile phones employs
a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR. The SAR limit set by the
FCC/IC is 1.6 W/kg*. Tests for
SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions
specified by the FCC with the
phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all
tested frequency bands.
Although SAR is determined at
the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR level of the
phone while operating can be
well below the maximum value.
Because the phone is designed
to operate at multiple power
levels to use only the power
required to reach the network,
in general, the closer you are to
a wireless base station antenna,
the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is
available for sale to the public, it
Safety
87
Page 88
Safety
must be tested and certified to
the FCC that it does not exceed
the limit established by the
government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure.
The tests are performed in
positions and locations (e.g., at
the ear and worn on the body)
as required by the FCC for each
model.
The highest SAR value for this
model phone when tested for
use at the ear is 1.27 W/kg and
when worn on the body, as
described in this user guide, is
Safety
0.693 W/kg (body-worn
measurements differ among
phone models, depending upon
available accessories and
FCC/IC requirements). While
there may be differences
between SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions,
they all meet the government
requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an
Equipment Authorization for this
88
model phone with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF
emission guidelines. SAR
information on this model phone
is on file with the FCC and can
be found under the Display
Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
after searching on FCC ID
BEJVX5400. Additional
information on Specific
Absorption Rates (SAR) can be
found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry
Association (CTIA) website at
http://www.ctia.org.
* In the United States and
Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
phones used by the public is 1.6
watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over
one gram of tissue.
The standard incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to
give additional protection for the
public and to account for any
variations in measurements.
