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
Page 14
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.

FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING! Read this information
before operating the phone.
In August 1996, the Federal
Communications Commission (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
Page 16

Technical Details
design of this phone complies with the
FCC guidelines and these international
standards.
Vehicle-Mounted the External
Antenna (Optional, if available.)
To satisfy FCC RF exposure
requirements, keep 8 inches (20
cm) between the user / bystander
and vehicle-mounted the external
antenna. For more information about
RF exposure, visit the FCC website at
www.fcc.gov.
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
antenna.
