7. Do not use the phone in areas where its use is prohibited. (For example: aircraft)

UX245_Eng_new.qxd 2006.9.29 1:55 PM Page 1

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as a bathroom.

2. Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene, thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean your phone. This could cause a fire.

3. Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. It may harm the internal circuit boards of the phone.

4. Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as the phone may generate sparks.

5. 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 electric shock.

6. Do not place any heavy items on the power cord. Do not allow the power cord to be crimped as it may cause electric shock or fire.

7. Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is being charged. It may cause an electric shock or seriously damage your phone.

8. Do not disassemble the phone.

UX245_Eng_new.qxd 2006.9.29 1:55 PM Page 2

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may short-circuit the phone and/or cause electric shock or fire.

2. Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your body during a call.

3. Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal’s teeth or nails, come into contact with the battery. This could cause a fire.

4. Give instructions for children to use the battery carefully.

5. Be careful that children do not swallow any parts (such as rubber plugs, earphone, connection parts of the phone, etc.) This could cause asphyxiation or suffocation resulting in serious injury or death.

6. Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning storms to avoid electric shock or fire.

7. Only use the batteries and chargers provided by LG. The warranty will not be applied to products provided by other suppliers.

8. Only authorized personnel should service the phone and its accessories. Faulty installation or service may result in accidents and consequently invalidate the warranty.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Technical Details

The UX245 is a tri-mode 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. Also, the UX245 works on Advanced Mobile Phone Service. We call it a tri-mode phone. Since the phone operates on Cellular, PCS and AMPS, the call fail rate is less than on a conventional dual-mode or single-mode phone.

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).

* TSB-74: Protocol between an IS-95A system and

ANSI J-STD-008

1xRTT system receives twice as many subscribers in the wireless section as IS-95. Its battery life is twice as long as IS-95. High-speed data transmission is also possible.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

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 design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.

Bodily Contact During Operation

This device was tested for typical use with the back of the phone kept 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.6 inches (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 belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic

components should not be used. Avoid the use of accessories that cannot maintain 0.6 inches (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 inches (20cm) 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.

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.
