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

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

Technical Details

The AX840 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).

* TSB-74: Protocol between an IS-

95A system and ANSI J-STD­008

Getting Started with Your Phone

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

Insert the bottom of the battery
into the opening on the back of
the phone, then push the battery
down until the latch clicks.

Removing the Battery

1. Turn off the phone, then push
down on the battery cover
button (located on the top of
your phone).

2. While holding down the
battery cover button, lift and
remove the battery cover.

3. Lift the top of the battery out
using the fingertip cutouts,
then remove it.

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 the AX840 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.

Notice

Please make sure that the LG
logo faces down before inserting
a charger, data cable, etc into
the charger port of your phone.

1. Install a charged battery or
connect the phone to an
external power source.

2. Press for about 3
seconds until the LCD screen
lights up.

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 a warning message. If
the battery charge level becomes
exceedingly low, the phone
automatically switches off and
any function in progress is not
saved.

24

Turning the Phone Off

1. Press and hold until the
display turns off.

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.

Note

The call quality is also affected by
the places where you are and
weather conditions with radio
frequency (RF) emission changes.

Safety

TIA 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
ON, it receives and sends out
Radio Frequency (RF) signals.

In August, 1996, the Federal

Safety

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:

ANSI C95.1 (1992) *

NCRP Report 86 (1986)

100

ICNIRP (1996)

* American National Standards
Institute; National Council on
Radiation Protection and
Measurements; International
Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection.

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
(and those standards).

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied internal
antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments
could damage the phone and
