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.

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.

Technical Details
The
LG FATHOMTMGlobal Phone 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
