Important Safety Precautions
l
Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct
sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as a bathroom.
l
Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene,
thinner, etc.) or detergent to clean your phone. This could cause a fire.
l
Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. It may
harm the internal circuit boards of the phone.
l
Do not use your phone in highly explosive areas as the
phone may generate sparks.
l
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.
l
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.
l
Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is being
charged. It may cause an electric shock or seriously damage your phone.
l
Do not disassemble the phone.
2
l
Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as
it may short-circuit the phone and/or cause electric shock or fire.
l
Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your
body during a call.
l
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.
l
Store the battery out of reach of children.
l
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.
l
Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning
storms to avoid electric shock or fire.
l
Only use the batteries and chargers provided by LG. The warranty will not be applied to products provided by other suppliers.
l
Only authorized personnel should service the phone and
its accessories. Faulty installation or service may result in accidents and consequently invalidate the warranty.
l
Your service provider programs one or more emergency
phone numbers, such as 911, that you can call under any circumstance, even when your phone is locked. Your phone’s preprogrammed emergency number(s) may not work in all locations, and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed due to network, environmental, or interference issues.

Technical Details

Welcome
Thank you for choosing the your phone phone, designed to operate with the latest digital mobile communication technology, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA).
Important Information
This user’s guide provides important information on the use and operation of your phone. Please read this guide carefully prior to using the phone to be able to use your phone to its greatest advantage and to prevent any accidental damage or misuse. Any unapproved changes or modifications will void your warranty.
Technical Details
your phone is an all digital phone
The that operates on both Code Division Multiple A 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
ccess (CDMA) frequencies:
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).
1xRTT system receives twice as many subscribers in the wireless section as IS-95. Its battery life is twice as long as IS-95.
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

Technical Details

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 0.79 inches (2.0 cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.79 inches (2.0 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
0.79 inches (2.0 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.
FCC Notice and Cautions
This device and its accessories comply with part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device and its accessories may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device and its accessories must accept any interference received, including interference that causes undesired operation. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this user guide could void your warranty for this equipment. Use only the supplied antenna.

Battery Temperature Protection

Though extremely rare, if the battery becomes overheated, the phone will automatically turn off. When you turn the phone back on, a message pops up alerting you that the phone was powered off for your safety.

Battery Charge Level

You can find the battery charge level at the top right corner of the LCD screen. When the charge level becomes low, the battery sensor sounds a warning tone, blinks the battery icon, and displays a warning message. As the charge level approaches empty, the phone automatically switches off without saving any current tasks.

Signal Strength

Call quality depends on the signal strength in your area. You can tell how much signal strength you have by the number of bars next to the signal strength icon: the more bars, the stronger the signal. If you’re having problems with signal quality, move to an open area or, when
inside a building, try moving near a window.
