could cause a fire.

3. Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. It
may harm the internal circuit boards of the phone.

4. Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as the
phone may generate sparks.

5. Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting,
pulling, or heating. Do not use the plug if it is loose as
it may cause a fire or electric shock.

6. Do not place any heavy items on the power cord. Do
not allow the power cord to be crimped as it may
cause electric shock or fire.

7. Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is
being charged. It may cause an electric shock or
seriously damage your phone.

8. Do not disassemble the phone.

1. Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may
short-circuit the phone and/or cause electric shock or fire.

2. Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your body
during a call.

3. Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal’s teeth or
nails, come into contact with the battery. This could cause a fire.

4. Store the battery out of reach of children.

5. Be careful that children do not swallow any parts (such as
rubber plugs, earphone, connection parts of the phone, etc.)
This could cause asphyxiation or suffocation resulting in serious
injury or death.

6. Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning storms to
avoid electric shock or fire.

7. Only use the batteries and chargers provided by LG. The
warranty will not be applied to products provided by other
suppliers.

8. Only authorized personnel should service the phone and its
accessories. Faulty installation or service may result in accidents
and consequently invalidate the warranty.

9. Your service provider programs one or more emergency phone
numbers, such as 911, that you can call under any
circumstances, even when your phone is locked. Your phone’s
preprogrammed emergency number(s) may not work in all
locations, and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed
due to network, environmental, or interference issues.

Important Information

This user’s guide provides
important information on the use
and operation of your phone.
Please read all the information
carefully prior to using the phone
for the best performance and to
prevent any damage to or misuse
of the phone. Any unapproved
changes or modifications will void
your warranty.

Technical Details

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.

Technical Details

The LG 8575 Touch is an all
digital 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).

FCC RF Exposure Information

Technical Details

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 Radio
Frequency (RF) electromagnetic
energy emitted by FCC regulated
transmitters. Those guidelines are
consistent with the safety

12

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.

Bodily Contact During
Operation

This device was tested for typical
use with the back of the phone
kept 0.79 inches (2.0 cm) from
the body. To comply with FCC
RF exposure requirements, a
minimum separation distance of

0.79 inches (2.0 cm) must be
maintained between the user’s
body and the back of the phone,
including the antenna, whether
extended or retracted. Third­party belt-clips, holsters, and
similar accessories containing
metallic components should not
be used. Avoid the use of

accessories that cannot maintain

0.79 inches (2.0 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 the External
Antenna

(Optional, if available.)

To satisfy FCC RF exposure
requirements, keep 8 inches (20
cm) between the user /
bystander and vehicle-mounted
the external antenna. For more
information about RF exposure,
visit the FCC website at
www.fcc.gov.

Using RSS reader

RSS (Really Simple Syndication)
is a family of web feed formats
used to publish frequently
updated content such as blog
entries, news headlines or
podcasts. An RSS document,
which is called a feed, web feed,
or channel, contains either a
summary of content from an
associated web site or the full
text. RSS makes it possible for
people to keep up with their
favorite web sites in an
automated manner that is easier
than checking them manually.
