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 the damage to the
phone. Using other batteries or chargers voids
your warranty and may cause the explosion.
Caution: Do not use batteries and desktop
chargers for purposes other than the intended use.
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.

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 the
damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin a
minor burn may result. Contact your local dealer for a
replacement of antenna.
Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for typical usage with the back of
the phone kept 3/4 in (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. Avoid the use of accessories that cannot
maintain 3/4 in (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.
Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna
(Optional, if available.)
Aminimum 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.
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 cause undesired operation.
Battery Safety
Do not disassemble.
Do not short-circuit.

safe and proper use of your phone and to prevent any
unanticipated damage. Also, keep the user’s manual in
an accessible place at all the times after reading it.
Explosion, Shock, and Fire Hazards
Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning
storms to avoid electric shock or fire.
Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as the
phone may generate sparks.
Do not put your phone in a place subject to excessive
dust and keep the minimum required distance between
the power cord and heat sources.
Unplug the power cord prior to cleaning your phone, and
clean the power plug pin when it is dirty.
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 an electric shock.

LG-TM250
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.
LG-TM250
Talking on your phone for a long period of time may reduce
the call quality due to heat generated during use.
If you plan to not use the phone for a long period time, store
it in a safe area with the power cord unplugged.
Only use the batteries, antennas, and chargers provided by
LG. The warranty will not be applied to products provided by
other suppliers.
Using the phone in proximity to receiving equipment (i.e., TV
or radio) may cause interference in this phone.
Only authorized personnel should service the phone and its
accessories. Faulty installation or service may result in
accidents and consequently invalidate the warranty.
Use only the antenna provided or approved by LG.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments may
affect the quality of phone call, damage the phone or result
in a violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the cellular phone if the antenna is damaged. If
the damaged antenna gets in contact with the skin, it may
cause a slight burn. Please contact LG Authorized Service
Center to replace the damaged antenna.
Do not use the cellular phone in areas where its use is
prohibited. (For example: aircrafts).
Do not expose the cellular phone to high temperatures or
high humidity.
Do not immerse your cellular phone in water. If this happens,
turn it off immediately and remove the battery. If the phone
does not work, take it to an LG Authorized Service Center.

Tec h nica l DD e tail s
The TM250 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.
