Important Information
This user’s guide provides important information on the use
and operation of your phone. Please read all the information
carefully prior to using the phone for the best performance
and to prevent any damage to or misuse of the phone. Any
unapproved changes or modifications will void your
warranty.
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 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.
Technical Details
The LG 125 is an all digital phone that operates on both Code
LG125 7
Welcome
Division Multiple Access (CDMA) frequencies: cellular
services at 800 MHz and Personal Communication
Services (PCS) at 1.9 GHz. Also, the LG 125 works on
Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS). We call it a trimode phone. Since the phone operates on Cellular, PCS
and AMPS, the call fail rate is less than on a conventional
dual-mode or singlemode 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). The following table lists some major CDMA
standards.
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 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 3/4 inches (2 cm) from the body. To comply with
FCC and IC RF exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 3/4 inches (2 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
3/4 inches (2 cm) distance between the user’s body and the
back of the phone and have not been tested for
compliance with FCC and IC RF exposure limits.
Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna
(Optional, if available.)
A minimum distance of 8 inches (20 cm) must be
maintained between the user / bystander and the vehiclemounted 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.
