WARNING! To reduce the possibility of electric shock, do not expose your phone to high humidity areas, such as a bathroom, swimming area, etc.

Caution: Use only LG-approved batteries and desktop chargers to avoid damage to the phone. Using other batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may cause an explosion.

Caution: Do not use batteries and desktop chargers for other than the intended purposes.

Never store your phone in temperatures less than

-4° F or greater than 122° F, such as outside during a snowstorm or in your car on a hot day. Exposure to excessive cold or heat may result in phone malfunction, damage and/or failure.

Use caution when using your phone near other electronic devices. RF emissions from your mobile phone may affect nearby inadequately shielded electronic equipment. Consult manufacturers of any personal medical devices such as pacemakers and hearing aides to determine if they are susceptible to interference from your mobile phone. Turn off your phone in a medical facility or at a gas station.

IMPORTANT! Please read the TIASafety Information (see page 118) before using your phone.

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.

Technical Details

The LX5550 is a dual-band 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). 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.

Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna

(Optional, if available.)

A minimum 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 into contact with the skin a minor burn may result. Contact your local dealer for a replacement of antenna.

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 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 RF exposure limits.

The Battery

The phone comes with a rechargeable battery. Keep the battery charged while not in use in order to maximize talk and standby time. The battery charge level is shown at the top of the LCD screen.

To install the battery, insert the bottom of the battery into the opening on the back of the phone. Push the battery down until the latch clicks.

Removing the Battery

Turn the power off. Lift the release latch to detach the battery.

NOTE: It is important to fully charge the battery

before initial use of the phone.

Charging the Battery

Warning! Use only the standard charger provided with the phone. Using any charger other than the one included with the LX5550 may damage your phone or battery.

1. Plug the standard charger into a wall outlet. The phone must be charged from a 120V AC power source.

2. Plug the standard charger into the phone. The red light indicates the battery is charging and the green light indicates the battery is fully charged.

The charge time varies depending upon the battery level. The maximum charge time for a fully discharged battery is 3 hours.

Battery Charge Level

The battery charge level is shown at the top right of the LCD screen. When the battery charge level becomes low, the low battery sensor alerts you in three ways: sounding an audible tone, blinking the battery icon, and displaying LOW BATTERY WARNING! If the battery charge level becomes exceedingly low, the phone automatically switches off and any function in progress is not saved.
