6Important Health Information and Safety Precautions

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.

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.

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

The LG VortexTM 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 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).

The 1xRTT system receives twice as many subscribers in the wireless section as IS-95. Benefits from using 1xRTT instead of IS95 include extending your device's battery life (up to twice as long) and high speed data transmission capability. However, in applicable areas, EV-DO system is optimized for data service and therefore is much faster than 1xRTT.

The table on the following page lists some major CDMA standards.

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 those international standards.

Technical Details 17

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. 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.

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. 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.

18Technical Details

Part 15.21 statement

Changes or modifications that are not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Part 15.105 statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is 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.

USB Cable	Wall/USB charger

2.Plug the USB cable (as shown below) into the phone's charger port.

The Basics 25

Battery temperature protection

Though extremely rare, if the battery becomes overheated, the phone will automatically turn off.

Battery charge level

You can find the battery charge level at the top right part of the screen. When the battery level becomes low, the phone will notify you. Once the battery level becomes exceedingly low, the phone will shut off without notice. As a result, unsaved items may be lost.

Charging with USB

You can use your computer to charge your phone. To be able to charge with the USB cable, you need to have the necessary USB drivers installed on your PC first. Connect one end of the USB cable to the charger port on your phone and connect the other end to a USB port on your PC. It is best to use the rear USB port when connecting to a desktop PC. The USB hub should be powered by an external power source.

NOTES ● Low-power USB ports are not supported, such as the USB port on your keyboard or bus-powered USB hub.

●LG USB Driver is downloadable from the following site: http://www.lgmobilephones.com > Click Mobile Support > Select the Carrier(Verizon) > Select the Model > Click USB Cable Driver to download.

Using the phone without battery

It is possible to use the phone without the battery. Connect the charger to the phone and plug the charger into a wall. After doing this, you can turn the phone on and place calls.

NOTE Using the phone without a battery may cause the phone to turn off unexpectedly if the supply of power is interrupted.

26 The Basics

Optimizing Battery Life

You can extend your battery's life between charges by turning off features that run in the background. You can also monitor how applications and system resources consume battery power.

Tips to extend the life of your battery

'Turn off radio communications that you aren't using.

If you aren't using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS, use the Settings menu to turn them off. (Note that the GPS receiver is only turned on when you're using an application that makes use of it.)

'Turn down screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.

'If you don't need them, turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, and other applications.

'Use the Power Control widget to control the wireless connections, GPS connection, Bluetooth power, display brightness, and syncing activity.
