Chapter 1 Getting Started
NP3100_Eng 04/11/20 9:29 AM Page 12
Do not short-circuit the battery contacts. A short circuit can
occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip or pen contacts the metal terminals of the battery. A short circuit of the
terminals may damage the battery, the phone, the object
causing the short circuit and may result in heat, fire, or catastrophic failure such as an explosion.
Always replace the rubber cap on the receptacle located at
the base of your phone when the receptacle does not need
to be accessed. Short-circuit may be caused by the contact
with the metallic articles such as a coin and clip or pen and
may result in heat, fire, or catastrophic failure such as an
explosion.
Do not disassemble the battery as it may cause electric
shock, short-circuit, or fire.
Do not expose the phone to excessive vibration or a sharp
impact.
Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will
cause the battery to explode.
General Warnings and Cautions
Store the battery in a place out of reach of children.
Using a damaged battery or placing a battery in your mouth
may cause serious injury.
Do not place items containing magnetic components such
as a credit card, phone card, bank book or a subway ticket
near your phone. The magnetism of the phone may damage the data stored in the magnetic strip.
Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your
body during a call.

Black Jack is a card game. The one whose cards add
closest to 21 wins the hand. The player and the dealer
get dealt two cards each. The player then chooses to
receive another card (Hit) or play what he was dealt
(Stay). You can get as many cards as you want, but the
total value of the cards must not exceed 21. An (Ace) is
valued at 1 or 11. J (Jack), Q (Queen) and K (King) are
valued at 10. Two through Ten receive face value. If your
first two cards are composed of an A and one of 10, J,
Q, and K, gets a “Black Jack”. The dealer shouts out
“Black Jack”. If you get Black Jack you win the hand,
unless the dealer also has a Black Jack.

The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for
Wireless Handheld phones.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power
radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives
and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications
Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines
with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
Those standards were based on comprehensive and
periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature.
For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies,
and industry reviewed the available body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).

Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the phone and may violate
FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any
other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over
your shoulder.
Tips on Efficient Operation:
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the
phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call
quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher
power level than otherwise needed.
American National Standards Institute; National Council
on Radiation Protection and Measurements;
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless
telephones in the areas where you drive and always
obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving,
please observe the following:
Chapter 6
Safety Guidelines

• Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is your first
responsibility;
• Use hands-free operation, if available;
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering
a call if driving conditions or the law so require.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF
signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not
be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless
phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches
from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON;
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to mini-
mize the potential for interference
• Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any
reason to suspect that interference in taking place.

Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may
want to consult your service provider [or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.] Optional for
each phone manufacturer.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult
the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Health Care Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any
regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may use equipment
that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer or its representative
regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted
notices so require.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the
air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your
phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and
instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often,
but not always marked clearly. Potential areas may
include: fueling areas (such as gasoline stations); below
deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as
propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders);
and any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place
objects, including either installed or portable wireless
equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious
injury could result.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for
Devices and Radiological Health Consumer Update on
Mobile Phones:
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that
any health problems are associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones
emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in the
microwave range while being used. They also emit
very low levels of RF when in the stand-by mode.
Whereas high levels of RF can produce health
effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF
that does not produce heating effects causes no
known adverse health effects. Many studies of low
level RF exposures have not found any biological
Chapter 6
Safety Guidelines
NP3100_Eng 04/11/20 9:29 AM Page 57
LG-NP3100
58
effects. Some studies have suggested that some
biological effects may occur, but such findings have
not been confirmed by additional research. In some
cases, other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons
for inconsistent results.
2. What is FDA's role concerning the safety of wire-
less phones?
Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of
radiation-emitting consumer products such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does with
new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency
has authority to take action if wireless phones are
shown to emit radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level
that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, the
FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless
phones to notify users of the health hazard and to
repair, replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify
FDA regulatory actions, FDA has urged the wireless
phone industry to take a number of steps, including
the following:
• Support needed research into possible biological
effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless
phones;
NP3100_Eng 04/11/20 9:29 AM Page 58
LG-NP3100
59
• Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes
any RF exposure to the user that is not necessary
for device function; and
• Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones
with the best possible information on possible
effects of wireless phone use on human health.
FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the
federal agencies that have responsibility for different
aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at
the federal level. The following agencies belong to
this working group:
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health
• Environmental Protection Agency
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• National Telecommunications and Information
Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some
interagency working group activities, as well. The
FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless
phones with the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the
Chapter 6
Safety Guidelines
NP3100_Eng 04/11/20 9:29 AM Page 59
LG-NP3100
60
United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure. FCC relies on FDA and
other health agencies for safety questions about
wireless phones.
FCC also regulates the base stations that the wireless phone networks rely upon. While these base
stations operate at higher power than do the wireless
phones themselves, the RF exposures that people
get from these base stations are typically thousands
of times lower than those they can get from wireless
phones. Base stations are thus not the subject of the
safety questions discussed in this document.
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this
update?
The term “wireless phone” refers here to hand-held
wireless phones with built-in antennas, often called
“cell”, “mobile”, or “PCS” phones. These types of
wireless phones can expose the user to measurable
radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short distance between the phone and the user’s head.
These RF exposures are limited by Federal
Communications Commission safety guidelines that
were developed with the advice of FDA and other
federal health and safety agencies. When the phone
is located at greater distances from the user, the
exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing
distance from the source. The so-called "cordless
NP3100_Eng 04/11/20 9:29 AM Page 60
phones," which have a base unit connected to the
telephone wiring in a house, typically operate at far
lower power levels, and thus produce RF exposures
far below the FCC safety limits.
4. What are the results of the research done already?
The research done thus far has produced conflicting
results, and many studies have suffered from flaws
in their research methods. Animal experiments
investigating the effects of radiofrequency energy
(RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones
have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be
repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies,
however, have suggested that low levels of RF could
accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory
animals. However, many of the studies that showed
increased tumor development used animals that had
been genetically engineered or treated with cancercausing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to
develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure.
Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22
hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the
conditions under which people use wireless phones,
so we don’t know with certainty what the results of
such studies mean for human health.
Three large epidemiology studies have been published since December 2000. Between them, the
studies investigated any possible association
LG-NP3100
61
Chapter 6
Safety Guidelines
NP3100_Eng 04/11/20 9:29 AM Page 61
between the use of wireless phones and primary
brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia,
or other cancers. None of the studies demonstrated
the existence of any harmful health effects from wireless phone RF exposures. However, none of the
studies can answer questions about long-term exposures, since the average period of phone use in
these studies was around three years.
5. What research is needed to decide whether RF
exposure from wireless phones poses a health
risk?
A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people actually using wireless
phones would provide some of the data that are
needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be
completed in a few years. However, very large numbers of anime health effects, such as cancer. This is
because the interval between the time of exposure to
a cancer-causing agent and the time tumors develop
- if they do - may be many, many years. The interpretation of epidemiological studies is hampered by
difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure during
day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many factors
affect this measurement, such as the angle at which
the phone is held, or which model of phone is used.
LG-NP3100
62
NP3100_Eng 04/11/20 9:29 AM Page 62
6. What is FDA doing to find out more about the
possible health effects of wireless phone RF?
FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology
Program and with groups of investigators around the
world to ensure that high priority animal studies are
conducted to address important questions about the
effects of exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF).
FDA has been a leading participant in the World
Health Organization International Electromagnetic
Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. An
influential result of this work has been the development of a detailed agenda of research needs that
has driven the establishment of new research programs around the world. The Project has also helped
develop a series of public information documents on
EMF issues.
FDA and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet
Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative
Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to
do research on wireless phone safety. FDA provides
the scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts
in government, industry, and academic organizations. CTIA-funded research is conducted through
contracts to independent investigators. The initial
research will include both laboratory studies and
studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will
also include a broad assessment of additional
research needs in the context of the latest research
developments around the world.

7. How can I find out how much radiofrequency
energy exposure I can get by using my wireless
phone?
All phones sold in the United States must comply
with Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
guidelines that limit radiofrequency energy (RF)
exposures. FCC established these guidelines in consultation with FDA and the other federal health and
safety agencies. The FCC limit for RF exposure from
wireless telephones is set at a Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The
FCC limit is consistent with the safety standards
developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineering (IEEE) and the National Council on
Radiation Protection and Measurement. The exposure limit takes into consideration the body’s ability to
remove heat from the tissues that absorb energy
from the wireless phone and is set well below levels
known to have effects. Manufacturers of wireless
phones must report the RF exposure level for each
model of phone to the FCC.
The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety)
gives directions for locating the FCC identification
number on your phone so you can find your phone’s
RF exposure level in the online listing.

8. What has FDA done to measure radiofrequency
energy coming from wireless phones ?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) is developing a technical standard for measuring the radiofrequency energy (RF) exposure from
wireless phones and other wireless handsets with
the participation and leadership of FDA scientists
measuring the rate at which RF is deposited in the
heads of wireless phone users. The test method
uses a tissue-simulating model of the human head.
Standardized SAR test methodology is expected to
greatly improve the consistency of measurements
made at different laboratories on the same phone.
SAR is the measurement of the amount of energy
absorbed in tissue, either by the whole body or a
small part of the body. It is measured in watts/kg (or
milliwatts/g) of matter. This measurement is used to
determine whether a wireless phone complies with
safety guidelines.
9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to
radiofrequency energy from my wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these products--and at this point
we do not know that there is--it is probably very
small. If you are concerned about avoiding even
potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to
minimize your exposure to radiofrequency energy
(RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a person receives, reducing the amount of time
spent using a wireless phone reduces RF exposure.

• If you must conduct extended conversations by
wireless phone every dey, you could place more
distance between your body and the source of the
RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically
with distamce. For example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from your
body or use a wireless phone connected to a
remote antenna
Again, the scientific data do not demonstrate that
wireless phones are harmful. But if you are concerned about the RF exposure from these products,
you can use measures like those described above to
reduce your RF exposure from wireless phone use.
10. What about children using wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show a danger to
users of wireless phones, including children and
teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF), the measures
described above would apply to children and
teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the time
of wireless phone use and increasing the distance
between the user and the RF source will reduce RF
exposure.
Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children be discouraged
from using wireless phones at all. For example, the
LG-NP3100
66
NP3100_Eng 04/11/20 9:29 AM Page 66
government in the United Kingdom distributed
leaflets containing such a recommendation in
December 2000. They noted that no evidence exists
that using a wireless phone causes brain tumors or
other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any
health hazard exists.
11. What about wireless phone interference with
medical equipment?
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from wireless phones
can interact with some electronic devices. For this
reason, FDA helped develop a detailed test method
to measure electromagnetic interference (EMI) of
implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators
from wireless telephones. This test method is now
part of a standard sponsored by the Association for
the Advancement of Medical instrumentation (AAMI).
The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical device
manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late 2000. This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and
defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI.
FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from
handheld wireless phones and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This
standard specifies test methods and performance
LG-NP3100
67
Chapter 6
Safety Guidelines
NP3100_Eng 04/11/20 9:29 AM Page 67
requirements for hearing aids and wireless phones
so that no interference occurs when a person uses a
“compatible” phone and a “compatible” hearing aid at
the same time. This standard was approved by the
IEEE in 2000.
FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones
for possible interactions with other medical devices.
Should harmful interference be found to occur, FDA
will conduct testing to assess the interference and
work to resolve the problem.

(Specific Absorption Rate)
This Model Phone Meets the Government’s Requirements
for Exposure to Radio Waves. Your wireless phone is a
radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and
establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are based on standards that
were developed by independent scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is
1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions specified by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at the
highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the
phone while operating can be well below the maximum
value. Because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels to use only the power required to reach
the network, in general, the closer you are to a wireless
base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public,
it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not
LG-NP3100
69
Chapter 6
Safety Guidelines
NP3100_Eng 04/11/20 9:29 AM Page 69
exceed the limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed
in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the
body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use
at the ear is 1.24 W/kg and when worn on the body, as
described in this user guide, is 0.77 W/kg (Body-worn
measurements differ among phone models, depending
upon available accessories and FCC requirements).
While there may be differences between SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet
the government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for
this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated
as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines.
SAR information on this model phone is on file with the
FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section
of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID
BEJSP3100. Additional information on Specific
Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at http://www.wow-com.com.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for
mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg
(W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to
give additional protection for the public and to account
for any variations in measurements.
