Important Health Information and Safety Precautions

PREVENTION OF HEARING LOSS

CAUTION: Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones or headphones are used at high volume for prolonged periods of time.

SAFETY IN AIRCRAFT

Due to the possible interference caused by this product to an aircraft’s navigation system and its communications network, using this device’s phone function on board an airplane is against the law in most countries. If you want to use this device when its use is restricted on board an aircraft, remember to switch to Airplane Mode which turns off RF functions that could cause interference.

ENVIRONMENT RESTRICTIONS

Do not use this product in gas stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress, or in potentially explosive atmospheres such as fuelling areas, fuel storehouses, below deck on boats, chemical plants, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Please be aware that sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES

When in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere or where flammable materials exist, the product should be turned off and the user should obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Users are advised not to use the equipment at refueling points such as service or gas stations, and are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. These include fueling areas, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.

ROAD SAFETY

Vehicle drivers in motion are not permitted to use telephone services with handheld devices, except in the case of emergency. In some countries, using hands-free devices as an alternative is allowed.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR RF EXPOSURE

●

Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel frame of a building).

●

Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.

●

Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do not contain any metal.

●

Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.

INTERFERENCE WITH MEDICAL EQUIPMENT FUNCTIONS

This product may cause medical equipment to malfunction. The use of this device is prohibited in most hospitals and medical clinics. If you use any personal medical device(s), consult the manufacturer of your device(s) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

HEARING AIDS

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider, or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.

Important Health Information and Safety Precautions

NON-IONIZING RADIATION

Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its normal-use position to ensure the radiative performance and safety from interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for personal safety, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment. Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in your country. To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards, always use your device only in its normal-use position. Contact with the antenna area may impair call quality and cause your device to operate at a higher power level than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna performance and the battery life.

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

1. Remove the microSD card slot cover.

2. Push the microSD card into the slot with its gold contacts facing down until it clicks into place and then replace the slot cover.

1.6 Charging the Battery

Your LG FATHOM™Global Phone device comes with a cableless wall adapter and a USB data cable which connect together to charge your phone. To charge your phone:

NOTICE

Please use only an approved charging accessory to charge your LG phone. Improper handling of the charging port, as well as the use of an incompatible charger, may cause damage to your phone and void the warranty.

1. Connect the cableless wall adapter and USB data cable. When connecting as shown, the LG logo on the USB cable should face toward you.

2. Gently uncover the accessory charging port, then plug the end of the AC adapter into the phone’s charger port and the other end into an electrical outlet.

NOTICE

Please make sure that the side with the USB symbol faces up before inserting a charger or data cable into the charger port of your phone.

3. The charge time varies depending upon the battery level.

Battery Charge Level

You can find the battery charge level at the top right of the LCD screen. When the charge level becomes low, the phone blinks the battery icon, and displays a warning message. As the charge level approaches empty, the phone will turn off. Unsaved items may be lost.

Charging with USB

You can use your computer to charge your phone. Connect one end of the USB cable to the charging accessory port on your phone and the other end to a highpower USB port on your PC (commonly located on the front panel of the computer). It is best to use the rear USB port when connecting to a desktop PC. A USB Hub should be powered by an external power source (see Note below).

●

NOTES

Low-power USB ports are not supported, such as the USB port on your keyboard or buspowered USB hub.
