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 received, including interference that causes undesired operation.

❏ Industry Canada Compliance

This phone complies with Industry Canada RSS 133. This phone complies with the Class B limits for radio noise
emissions as set out in the interference causing standard entitled "Digital Apparatus" (ICES-003) of Industry
Canada.

❏ 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 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
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 in contact with the skin a minor burn
may result. Contact your local dealer for a replacement antenna.

❏ Safety

TIA(Telecommunications
Industry Association) 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 it is ON, it receives and also sends out Radio
Frequency (RF) signals. In August, 1996, the Federal 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)

●

ICNIRP (1996)

●

Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 1999.
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, IC Regulations (and those standards).

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorised antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage
the phone and may violate FCC regulations.

Phone Operation

NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other
telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.

Tips on Efficient Operation

For your phone to operate most efficiently:
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use.
Contact with the antenna affects call quality and may cause the phone
to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of ireless phones in the areas
where you drive and always obey them. Also, if using your phone while

The FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and
with groups of investigators around the world to ensure that high
priority animal studies are conducted to address important questions
about the effects of exposure to radio frequency energy (RF). The
FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization
International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project since its inception
in 1996. An influential result of this work has been the development
of a detailed agenda of research needs that has driven the
establishment of new research programs around the world. The
project has also helped develop a series of public information
documents on EMF issues. The FDA and the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal
Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to do
research on wireless phone safety. The FDA provides the scientific
oversight, obtaining input from experts in government, industry, and
academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through
contracts with independent investigators. The initial research will
include both laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users.
The CRADA will also include a broad assessment of additional
research needs in the context of the latest research developments
around the world.

All phones sold in the United States must comply with Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit radio
frequency energy (RF) exposures. The FCC established these
guidelines in consultation with the FDA and the other federal health
and safety agencies. The FCC limit for RF exposure from wireless
telephones is set at a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts
per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent with the safety
standards developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineering (IEEE) and the National Council on Radiation Protection
and Measurement. The exposure limit takes into consideration the
body’s ability to remove heat from the tissues that absorb energy
from the wireless phone and is set well below levels known to have
effects. Manufacturers of wireless phones must report the RF
exposure level for each model of phone to the FCC. The FCC website
(http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ rfsafety) gives directions for locating the
FCC identification number on your phone so you can find your
phone’s RF exposure level in the online listing.

driving, please observe the following:

●

Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is your first
responsibility;

●

Use hands-free operation, if available;

●

Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions or the law so require.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However,
certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless phone.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six inches be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the
independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research.

Persons with Pacemakers:

●

Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;

●

Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;

●

Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference;

●

Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In
the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service
provider (or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.)
Optional for each phone manufacturer.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer
of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF
energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.

Health Care Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations
posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care

The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is
developing a technical standard for measuring the radio frequency
energy (RF) exposure from wireless phones and other wireless
handsets with the participation and leadership of FDA scientists and
engineers. The standard, “Recommended Practice for Determining the
Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human Body Due
to Wireless Communications Devices: Experimental Techniques,” sets
forth the first consistent test methodology for measuring the rate at
which RF is deposited in the heads of wireless phone users. The test
method uses a tissue-simulating model of the human head.
Standardized SAR test methodology is expected to greatly improve
the consistency of measurements made at different laboratories on
the same phone. SAR is the measurement of the amount of energy
absorbed in tissue, either by the whole body or a small part of the
body. It is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of matter. This
measurement is used to determine whether a wireless phone complies
with safety guidelines.

If there is a risk from these products — and at this point we do not
know that there is — it is probably very small. But if you are
concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few
simple steps to minimize your exposure to radio frequency energy
(RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a person
receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless phone
will reduce RF exposure. If you must conduct extended conversations
by wireless phone every day, you could place more distance between
your body and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops
off dramatically with distance. For example, you could use a headset
and carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a wireless
phone connected to a remote antenna. Again, the scientific data do
not demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful. But if you are
concerned about the RF exposure from these products, you can use
measures like those described above to reduce your RF exposure
from wireless phone use.

The scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless
phones, including children and teenagers. If you want to take steps to
lower exposure to radio frequency energy (RF), the measures
described above would apply to children and teenagers using wireless
phones. Reducing the time of wireless phone use and increasing the
distance between the user and the RF source will reduce RF exposure.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised
that children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For

❏ Safety (Continued)

facilities may use equipment that could be sensitive to external RF
energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its
representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices so require.

Aircraft

FCC and Transport Canada regulations prohibit using your phone while
in the air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when
in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all
signs and instructions.

Potentially Explosive Atmosphere

Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always
marked clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling areas (such as
gasoline stations); below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as
propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles
(such as grain, dust, or metal powders); and any other area where you
would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag

An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including
either installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air
bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

Charger and Adapter Safety

example, the government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets
containing such a recommendation in December 2000. They noted
that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone causes brain
tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless
phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on
scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.

Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones can interact with
some electronic devices. For this reason, the FDA helped develop a
detailed test method to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI)
of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from wireless
telephones. This test method is now part of a standard sponsored by
the Association for the Advancement of Medical instrumentation
(AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort by the FDA, medical device
manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late 2000.
This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI. The
FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless
phones and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This standard
specifies test methods and performance requirements for hearing
aids and wireless phones so that no interference occurs when a
person uses a “compatible” phone and a “compatible” hearing aid at
the same time. This standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000. The
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for possible
interactions with other medical devices. Should harmful interference
be found to occur, the FDA will conduct testing to assess the
interference and work to resolve the problem.

Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning storms to avoid
electric shock or fire.

●

Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal’s teeth, nails,
come into contact with the battery. There is a risk of this causing a
fire.

●

Do not use harsh chemicals(such as alcohol, benzene, thinners, etc.)
or detergents to clean your phone. There is a risk of this causing a
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 drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. Such actions may
harm the internal circuit boards of the phone.

●

Do not put your phone in a place subject to excessive dust and keep
the minimum required distance between the power cord and heat
sources.

●

Unplug the power cord prior to cleaning your phone, and clean the
power plug pin when it is dirty.

●

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.

●

When using the power plug, ensure that it is firmly connected. If it is

exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are
part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on
standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The
standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit set by the FCC/IC is 1.6 W/kg*. Tests for SAR are conducted
using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although SAR is determined at the highest certified power level,
the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the
maximum value. Because the phone is designed to operate at multiple
power levels to use only the power required to reach the network, in
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower
the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be
tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit
established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure.
The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and
worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the
ear is 1.34 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user
guide, is 1.27 W/kg (body-worn measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon available accessories and FCC/IC
requirements). While there may be differences between SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement for safe exposure. The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR
information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be
found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
after searching on FCC ID BEJVX9100. Additional information on
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at
http://www.ctia.org.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones

used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of
tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to
give additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.

❏ Safety (Continued)

not, it may cause excessive heat 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 fire or electric shock.

●

Do not disassemble the phone.

●

Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may
short-circuit the phone and/or cause electric shock or fire.

●

If you put your phone in a pocket or bag without covering the
receptacle of the phone (power plug pin), metallic articles (such as a
coin, paperclip or pen) may short-circuit the phone. Always cover
the receptacle when not in use.

●

Do not short-circuit the battery. Metallic articles such as a coin,
paperclip or pen in your pocket or bag may short-circuit the + and –
terminals of the battery (metal strips on the battery) upon moving.
Short-circuit of the terminal may damage the battery and cause an
explosion.

●

Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will cause the
battery to explode.

General Warnings and Cautions

●

Only use the batteries, antennas, and chargers provided by LG. The
warranty will not be applied to products provided by other suppliers.

●

Store the battery in a place out of reach of children.

●

Using a damaged battery or placing a battery in your mouth may
cause serious injury.

●

Do not place items containing magnetic components such as a
credit card, phone card, bank book or subway ticket near your
phone. The magnetism of the phone may damage the data stored in
the magnetic strip.

●

Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your body
during a call.

●

Talking on your phone for a long period of time may reduce call
quality due to heat generated during use.

●

When the phone is not used for a long period time, store it in a safe
place with the power cord unplugged.

●

Using the phone in proximity to receiving equipment (i.e., TV or
radio) may cause interference to the phone.

●

Only authorized personnel should service the phone and its
accessories. Faulty installation or service may result in accidents and
consequently invalidate the warranty.

●

Do not use the phone if the antenna is damaged. If a damaged
antenna contacts skin, it may cause a slight burn. Please contact an
LG Authorized Service Center to replace the damaged antenna.

●

Do not use the phone in areas where its use is prohibited. (For
example: aircraft)

●

Do not immerse your phone in water. If this happens, turn it off
immediately and remove the battery. If the phone does not work,
take it to an LG Authorized Service Center.

●

Use accessories, such as earphones and headsets, with caution.
Ensure that cables are tucked away safely and do not touch the
antenna unnecessarily.

Warning! Important Safety Information

Avoiding hearing damage

Permanent hearing loss may occur if you use your phone and/or
headset at a high volume. Set the volume to a safe level. You can
adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may sound normal
but can be damaging to your hearing. If you experience ringing in your
ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked.
The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing
could be affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:

●

Limit the amount of time you use your phone and/or headset at
high volume.

●

Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.

●

Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
For information about how to set a maximum volume limit on your
phone, see the features guide for your phone.

Using your phone safely

Use of your phone while operating a vehicle is not recommended and is
illegal in some areas. Be careful and attentive while driving. Stop using
your phone if you find it disruptive or distracting while operating any
type of vehicle or performing any other activity that requires your full
attention.

FDA Consumer Update

Radiological Health Consumer Update on Mobile Phones:

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health
problems are associated with using wireless phones. There is no
proof, howeve r, that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless
phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in the
microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of
RF when in the Main Menu Screen. Whereas high levels of RF can
produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF
that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse
health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found
any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some
biological effects may occur, but such findings have not been
confirmed by additional research. In some cases, other researchers
have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining the
reasons for inconsistent results.

❏ Safety (Continued)

Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of radiation­emitting consumer products such as wireless phones before they can
be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the
agency has authority to take action if wireless phones are shown to
emit radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the
user. In such a case, the FDA could require the manufacturers of
wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard and to repair,
replace, or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory
actions, the FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to take a
number of steps, including the following:

●

Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of
the type emitted by wireless phones.

●

Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to
the user that is not necessary for device function; and cooperate in
providing users of wireless phones with the best possible
information on possible effects of wireless phone use on human

health.
The FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal
agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to
ensure coordinated efforts at the federal level. The following agencies
belong to this working group:

●

National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

●

Environmental Protection Agency

●

Occupational Safety and Health Administration

●

National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency
working group activities, as well. The FDA shares regulatory
responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United States
must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. The
FCC relies on the FDA and other health agencies for safety questions
about wireless phones. The FCC also regulates the base stations that
the wireless phone networks rely upon. While these base stations
operate at higher power than do the wireless phones themselves, the
RF exposures that people get from these base stations are typically
thousands of times lower than those they can get from wireless
phones. Base stations are thus not the subject of the safety
questions discussed in this document.

The term “wireless phone” refers here to handheld wireless phones
with built-in antennas, often called “cell”, “mobile”, or “PCS” phones.
These types of wireless phones can expose the user to measurable
radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short distance between
the phone and the user’s head. These RF exposures are limited by
FCC safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of the

Products serviced by non-authorized persons or companies.

FDA and other federal health and safety agencies. When the phone is
located at greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is
drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly
with increasing distance from the source. The so called “cordless
phones,” which have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring in
a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce
RF exposures far below the FCC safety limits.

The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and
many studies have suffered from flaws in their research methods.
Animal experiments investigating the effects of radiofrequency energy
(RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones have yielded
conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in other
laboratories. A few animal studies, however, have sugges ted that low
levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory
animals. However, many of the studies that showed increased tumor
development used animals that had been genetically engineered or
treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to
develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure. Other studies exposed
the animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These conditions are
not similar to the conditions under which people use wireless phones,
so we don’t know with certainty what the results of such studies
mean for human health. Three large epidemiology studies have been
published since December 2000. Between them, the studies
investigated any possible association between the use of wireless
phones and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic
neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other
cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the existence of any
harmful health effects from wireless phone RF exposures. However,
none of the studies can answer questions about long-term exposures,
since the average period of phone use in these studies was around
three years.

A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of
people actually using wireless phones would provide some of the
data that are needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be
completed in a few years. However, very large numbers of animals
would be needed to provide reliable proof of a cancer promoting
effect if one exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that is
directly applicable to human populations, but 10 or more years
follow-up may be needed to provide answers about some health
effects, such as cancer. This is because the interval between the time
of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time tumors develop
— if they do — may be many, many years. The interpretation of
epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring
actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many
