Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger
Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon) batter y. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 3.2 hours of continuous digital talk time (up to 1.5 hours in analog).
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers down.
Installing the Battery
To install the LiIon battery:
To install the battery, you must first remove the phone battery cover. To remove the battery cover, turn the phone upside down, press the release button down, and push the battery cover away.
Tip:
Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of power.

Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off and you will lose all the information you were just working on. For a quick check of your phone’s battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in the upper­right corner of your phone’s display screen. If the battery charge is getting too low, the battery icon blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone.
Always use an approved desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.

TTY Use

A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to communicate by telephone.
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY device will connect via a special cable that plugs into your phone's headset jack. If this cable was not provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.
When establishing your wireless service, please call your service provider via the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing . Then provide the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
911 Emergency Calling
It is recommended that TTY users make emergency calls by other means, including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when received by public safety answering points (PSAPs) rendering some communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to TTY equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.
Note:
In TTY Mode, your phone will display the TTY access icon.
If TTY mode is enabled, the audio quality of non-TTY devices connected to the headset jack may be impaired.

Controlling Your Roaming Experience
In This Section
⽧ Understanding Roaming
⽧ Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
⽧ Using Call Guard
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the available network. Your new dual band/tri-mode
LX-225 by LG works anywhere on the available network and allows you to roam on other analog and 1900 and 800 MHz digital networks where roaming agreements have been implemented with other carriers.
This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let you manage your roaming experience.
Roaming
68 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Understanding Roaming

Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the available network. Any time you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ). If you are roaming on an analog system, the roaming icon will display along with the text – Analog Roam – .
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality and security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls on the available network. However, you may not be able to access certain features, such as data services.
Note:
If you’re on a call when you leave the available network and enter an area where roaming is available , your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think network service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the available network.
Note:
You may pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Tip:
Remember, when you are using your phone off the available network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 69
Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some features, such as data services, will be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are accustomed to network service, you may notice some of the following differences when using analog service:
䢇
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, and dropped calls.
䢇
Some features which are standard on the available network, such as call waiting, data services, and direct international dialing, are unavailable.
䢇
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are roaming, you will not receive notification until you return to the available network. (See “Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming” on page 70.)
䢇
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning) that exist with conventional analog services today.
䢇
Your batter y’s charge will deplete more quickly and you will need to recharge it more often when you use your phone for analog roaming.
Note:
When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm. This is normal for analog operation.
Roaming
70 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the available network, you may not receive on-phone notification of new voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you will need to periodically check your voicemail for new messages if you are in a roaming service area for an extended period of time.
To check your voicemail while roaming:
1. Dial 1+area code+your wireless phone number.
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press .
3. Enter your pass code at the prompt and follow the
voice prompts.
When you return to the available network, voicemail notification will resume as normal.

Automatic seeks network service. When network service is unavailable, the phone searches for an alternate system.
䡲
Home Only
allows you to access the available network only and prevents roaming on other networks.

Using Call Guard

Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are roaming off the available network: the onscreen roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard makes it easy to manage your roaming charges by requiring an extra step before you can place or answer a roaming call. (This additional step is not required when you make or receive calls while on the available network.)
To turn Call Guard on or off:
1. Press Menu (left softkey) to access the main menu.
2. Select Settings ().
