●
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.
●
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.
●
Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may
short-circuit the phone and/or cause electric shock or fire.
●
Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your body

●
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 rubber
plugs, 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

●
Your service provider programs one or more emergency phone
numbers, such as 911, that you can call under any
circumstances, 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 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 Banter Touch is 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).
