Technical Details
Technical Details
LG 8600 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 |
Technical |
compared with analog mode. In addition, features |
reduce call interruptions. |
|
|
such as soft / softer handoff, hard Handoff, and |
Details |
dynamic RF power control technologies combine to |
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. |
|
* 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 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.
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
Technical Details
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.
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 |
Technical |
|
exposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov. |
||
|
||
Caution |
Details |
|
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. |

The Battery
Note
It is important to fully charge the battery before initial use of the phone.
The phone comes with a rechargeable battery. Keep the battery charged while not in use in order to maximize talk and standby time. The battery charge level is shown at the top of the LCD screen.
Installing the Battery
To install the battery, insert the battery into the opening on the back of the phone.
Removing the Battery
Charging the Battery
To use the charger provided with your phone:
WARNING! Use only the charger provided with the phone. Using any charger other than the one included with LG 8600 may damage your phone or battery.
1.Plug the end of the adapter into the phone's charger port and the other end into an electrical outlet.
2.The charge time varies depending upon the battery level.
Remove the battery by pressing the upper area of it. To remove the battery, slide the battery latch to the left and release the battery.
14
Battery Charge Level
The battery charge level is shown at the top right of the LCD screen. When the battery charge level becomes low, the low battery sensor alerts you in three ways: sounding an audible tone, blinking the battery icon, and displaying an warning message. If the battery charge level becomes exceedingly low, the phone automatically switches off and any function in progress is not saved.
NOTICE
Triangle symbol should face up.
Battery Temperature Protection
If the battery gets overheated, the phone will automatically turn off. When you turn the phone back on, a message pops up alerting you that the phone was powered off for your safety.

Signal Strength
Call quality depends on the signal strength in your area. The signal strength is indicated on the screen as the number of bars next to the signal strength icon: the more bars, the better the signal strength. If the signal quality is poor, move to an open area. If you are in a building, the reception may be better near a window.
Screen Icons
To see the Icon Glossary, go to Menu -> Settings -> System -> Phone Info -> Icon Glossary.
Using the Touch Sensitive Keys

●A light touch with clean and dry fingers work best for the heat sensitive touchpad. Press directly in the center of the key to activate the key. Using gloves or a phone case with a protective plastic covering may make the keypad more difficult to use.
●Protect your phone from severe impact because touchpad sensors may become damaged from harsh use.
●When your LG 8600's screen and touchpad lights are off, it is deactivated. Simply press the voice dial key to activate the screen and touch keypad.
16
