Important Safety Precautions
Read these simple guidelines. 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.
l
Never use an unapproved battery since this could
damage the phone and/or battery and could cause
the battery to explode.
l
Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will
cause the battery to explode.
l
Never store your phone in temperatures less than
-4°F or greater than 122°F.
l
Do not dispose of your battery near fire or with
hazardous or flammable materials.
l
When riding in a car, do not leave your phone or set
up the hands-free kit near the air bag. If wireless
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag is
deployed, you may be seriously injured.
l
Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.
l
Do not use the phone in areas where its use is
prohibited. (For example: aircraft)
1
Important Safety Precautions
l
Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct
sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as
a bathroom.
l
Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol,
benzene, thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean your
phone. This could cause a fire.
l
Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. It
may harm the internal circuit boards of the phone.
l
Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as the
phone may generate sparks.
l
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.
l
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.
l
Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is
being charged. It may cause an electric shock or
seriously damage your phone.
l
Do not disassemble the phone.
2
l
Do not place or answer calls while charging the
phone as it may short-circuit the phone and/or cause
electric shock or fire.
l
Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with
your body during a call.
l
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.
l
Store the battery out of reach of children.
l
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.
l
Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning
storms to avoid electric shock or fire.
l
Only use the batteries and chargers provided by LG.
The warranty will not be applied to products provided
by other suppliers.
l
Only authorized personnel should service the phone
and its accessories. Faulty installation or service may
result in accidents and consequently invalidate the
warranty.
l
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.

Technical Details
Important Information
This user’s guide provides important
information on the use and operation
of your phone. Please read this
guide carefully prior to using the
phone to be able to use your phone
to its greatest advantage and to
prevent any accidental damage or
misuse. Any unapproved changes or
modifications will void your
warranty.
Technical Details
The DARE™ 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).
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.
EV-DO system is optimized for data
service and is much faster than
1xRTT system in applicable area.
The following table lists some major
CDMA standards.
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 both U.S. and
international standards bodies. The
design of this phone complies with

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. Third-party 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
