IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct sunlight or use it in places with high
humidity, such as a bathroom.

2. Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene, thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean
your phone. This 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.

Technical Details

The AX275 is a trimode phone that operates on both
(Code Division Multiple Access CDMA) frequencies:
cellular services at 800 MHz and (Personal

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Communication Services PCS) at 1.9 GHz. Also, the
AX275 works on Advanced Mobile Phone Service. We
call it a tri-mode phone. Since the phone operates on
Cellular, PCS and AMPS, 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

TECHNICAL DETAILS

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 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 0.6 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.

Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna

(Optional, if available.)

A minimum distance of 8 inches (20cm) 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 into contact with the skin
a minor burn may result. Contact your local dealer
for a replacement antenna.
