Important Safety Precautions
Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct
sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as a
bathroom.
Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene,
thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean your phone. This could
cause a fire.
Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. It may
harm the internal circuit boards of the phone.
Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as the phone
may generate sparks.
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
electric shock or fire.
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.
Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is being
charged. It may cause an electric shock or seriously damage
your phone.
Do not disassemble the phone.
WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.

Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as
it may short-circuit the phone and/or cause electric shock
or fire.
Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your
body during a call.
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.
Store the battery out of reach of children.
Be careful that children do not swallow any parts (such as
earphone, connection parts of the phone, etc.) This could
cause asphyxiation or suffocation resulting in serious
injury or death.
Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning
storms to avoid electric shock or fire.
Only use the batteries and chargers provided by LG. The
warranty will not be applied to products provided by
other suppliers.
Only authorized personnel should service the phone and
its accessories. Faulty installation or service may result in
accidents and consequently invalidate the warranty.
An emergency call can be made only within a service area.
For an emergency call, make sure that you are within a
service area and that the phone is turned on.
Do not use your device for long periods of time while a
part of your body is making direct contact with it. The
temperature of the product may increase during normal
operation and this may result in harming or burning your
skin.

Technical Details
The LG REVERETMis 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 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-STD008
1xRTT system receives twice as
many subscribers in the wireless
section as IS-95. Its battery life is
twice as long as IS-95.
The table on the following page
lists some major CDMA standards.

no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular
installation. If you experience
interference with reception (e.g.,
television), determine if this
equipment is causing the harmful
interference by turning the
equipment off and then back on
to see if the interference is
affected. If necessary, try
correcting the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the
receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between
the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an

outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is
connected.
- Consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/TV technician
for help.

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.

Bodily Contact During
Operation
This device was tested for typical
use with the back of the phone
kept 0.78 inches (2 cm) from the
body. To comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 0.78
inches (2 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 0.78 inches (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.)
To satisfy FCC RF exposure
requirements, keep 8 inches (20
cm) between the user / bystander
and vehicle-mounted external
antenna. For more information
about RF exposure, visit the FCC
website at www.fcc.gov.
Caution
Use only the supplied antenna.
Use of unauthorized antennas (or
modifications to the antenna)
could impair call quality, damage
the phone, void your warranty
and/or violate FCC regulations.
Don't use the phone with a
damaged antenna. A damaged
antenna could cause a minor skin
burn.
Contact your local dealer for a
replacement antenna.
