WARNING! Read this information before operating the phone.

In August 1996, the Federal Communications (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.

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.

LG-PD8380

Bodily Contact During Operation

This device was tested for typical use with the back of the phone kept 1.5 cm from the body. To comply with

FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 1.5 cm must be maintained between

the user’s body and the back of the phone, including the antenna whether extended or retracted. Third-party beltclips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components should not be used. Avoid the use of accessories that cannot maintain 1.5 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.

Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna

(Optional, if available.)

A minimum distance of 8 in (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.
