Read these instructions. Breaking the rules may be dangerous or illegal.
Further detailed information is given in this user guide.
Violation of the instructions may cause serious injury or death.

Important Safety Precautions
●
Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct
sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as a
bathroom.
●
Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene,
thinner, etc.) or detergent to clean your phone. This could
cause a fire.
●
Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. It may
harm the internal circuit boards of the phone.
●
Do not use your phone in highly explosive areas as the
phone may generate sparks.
●
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 electric shock or fire.
●
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.
●
Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is being
charged. It may cause an electric shock or seriously
damage your phone.
●
Do not disassemble the phone.

LG COSMOS™2
●
Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as
it may short-circuit the phone and/or cause electric shock
or fire.
●
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.
●
Store the battery out of reach of children.
●
Be careful that children do not swallow any parts (such as
earphone, connection parts of the phone, etc). This could
cause asphyxiation or suffocation resulting in serious
injury or death.
●
Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning
storms to avoid electric shock or fire.
●
Only use the batteries and chargers provided by LG. The
warranty will not be applied to products provided by
other suppliers.
●
Only authorized personnel should service the phone and
its accessories. Faulty installation or service may result in
accidents and consequently invalidate the warranty.
●
Your service provider programs one or more emergency
phone numbers, such as 911, that you can call under any
circumstance, 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.

Technical Details
The
LG COSMOS™2
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
is an all
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 IS95A 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.
The following table lists some
major CDMA standards.

WARNING! Read this information
before operating the phone.
In August 1996, the Federal
unications Commission
Comm
(FCC) of the United States, with its
action in Report and Order FCC
96-326, adopted an updated
safety standard for human

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 0.79 inches (2 cm) from the

bod
exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 0.79 inches
(2 cm) must be maintained
between the user’s body and the
