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.
Technical Details
The LG Freedom™ 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
14
Technical Details
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).
* TSB-74: Protocol between an IS-95A
system and ANSI J-STD-008
Its battery life is twice as long as IS-95.
High-speed data transmission is also
possible.

CDMA standards.

design of this phone complies with the
FCC guidelines and these international
standards.
Vehicle-Mounted the External
Antenna (Optional, if available.)
