Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to
communicate by voice almost anywhere, anytime. An important
responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless phones, one
that every user must uphold.

When operating a car, driving is your first responsibility. When
using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice
good common sense and remember the following tips:

1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed
dial and redial. Carefully read your instruction manual and
learn to take advantage of valuable features most phones offer,
including automatic redial and memory. Also, work to
memorize the phone keypad so you can use the speed dial
function without taking your attention off the road.

2. When available, use a hands-free device. A number of hands­free wireless phone accessories are readily available today.
Whether you choose an installed mounted device for your
wireless phone or a speaker phone accessory, take advantage of
these devices if available to you.

3.Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Make sure you
place your wireless phone within easy reach and where you can
reach it without removing your eyes from the road. If you get
an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible, let your
voicemail answer it for you.

4.Suspend conversations during hazardous driving conditions or
situations. Let the person you are speaking with know you are
driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or
hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice can be
hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver, your first
responsibility is to pay attention to the road.

✂

5.Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. If
you are reading an address book or business card, or writing a

to-do list while driving a car, you are not watching where

you are going. It is common sense. Don

t get caught in a
dangerous situation because you are reading or writing and not
paying attention to the road or nearby vehicles.

6.Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when
you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan
your calls before you begin your trip or attempt to coincide
your calls with times you may be stopped at a stop sign, red
light or otherwise stationary. But if you need to dial while
driving, follow this simple tip -- dial only a few numbers,
check the road and your mirrors, then continue.

7.Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may
be distracting. Stressful or emotional conversations and driving
do not mix; they are distracting and even dangerous when you
are behind the wheel of a car. Make people you are talking
with aware you are driving and if necessary, suspend
conversations which have the potential to divert your attention
from the road.

8.Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your wireless phone
is one of the greatest tools you can own to protect yourself and
your family in dangerous situations -- with your phone at your
side, help is only three numbers away. Dial 911 or other local
emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, road
hazard or medical emergency. Remember, it is a free call on
your wireless phone!

9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. Your
wireless phone provides you a perfect opportunity to be a

Good Samaritan in your community. If you see an auto
accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where
lives are in danger, call 911 or other local emergency number,
as you would want others to do for you.

10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency
assistance number when necessary. Certain situations you
encounter while driving may require attention, but are not
urgent enough to merit a call for emergency services. But you
can still use your wireless phone to lend a hand. If you see a
broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken
traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears
injured or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside
assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number.

THIS 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 the 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. This is 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 is available for sale to the public, it must
be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not 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 phone when tested for use at the ear is

1.42mW/g and when worn on the body, as described in
this user guide, is 1.33mW/g. (Body-worn measurements
differ among phone models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC requirements.) While there may be
differences between the 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
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this
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 BEJTM510.

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR)
can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry
Association (CTIA) website at http://www.wow-com.com

h

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.

SUBJECT

The LG-TM510 phone has been designed to operate
on the latest digital mobile communication technology,
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). CDMA digital
technology has greatly enhanced voice clarity and can
provide a variety of advanced features. Currently,
CDMA mobile communication technology has been
commercially used in Cellular and Personal
Communication Service (PCS).
The difference between them is the operating frequency
spectrum. Cellular uses 800 MHz and PCS uses 1.9
GHz. The
frequencies, so it is referred to as a dual-band phone.
Also, the
Phone Service (AMPS). We call it a tri-mode phone. If
one of the Cellular, PCS, and AMPS base stations is
located nearby, the call fail rate of the tri-mode phone is
less than a dual-band phone or a single-band phone.

CDMA technology adopts DSSS (Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum.) DSSS enables the phone to keep
communication discreet and allows one frequency
channel to be used by multiple users in the same
specific area, resulting in increased capacity 10 times
more compared to the analog mode currently used.
Soft / Softer Handoff, Hard Handoff, and Dynamic RF
power control technologies are combined into this
phone to reduce interruptions in a middle of a call.

LG-TM510 phone can operate on both

LG-TM510 phone works on Advanced Mobile

Cellular and PCS CDMA network consists of MSO
(Mobile Switching Office), BSC (Base Station Controller),
BTS (Base station Transmission System), and MS
(Mobile Station). The following table lists some major
