Never use an unapproved battery since this could damage the phone and/or the battery and could cause the battery to explode.

●

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

●

Never store your phone in temperatures lower than

-4°F or higher than 122°F.

●

Do not dispose of your battery near fire or with hazardous or flammable materials.

Important Safety Precautions

●

Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct

sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as a

bathroom.

●

Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene,

thinner, etc.) or detergent to clean your phone. This could

cause a fire.

●

Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. It may

harm the internal circuit boards of the phone.

●

Do not use your phone in highly explosive areas as the

phone may generate sparks.

●

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.

●

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.

●

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 disassemble the phone.

2 Octane

●

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

●

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.

●

Store the battery out of reach of children.

●

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.

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

Your service provider programs one or more emergency phone numbers, such as 911, that you can call under any circumstance, 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.

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

LG OctaneTMis 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 table on the following page 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 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 0.79 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
