Subject

The VX4400 phone has been designed to operate on the latest digital mobile communication technology, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). This CDMAdigital technology has greatly enhanced voice clarity and can provide a variety of advanced features. Currently, CDMA mobile communication technology has been commercially used in Cellular and Personal Communication Service (PCS).

The difference between Cellular and PCS is operating frequency. Cellular uses 800Mhz and PCS uses 1.9Ghz. Also, the VX4400 works on Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS). We call it a tri-mode phone. Since the phone operates on Cellular, PCS and AMPS, the call fail rate is less than on a conventional dual-mode or singlemode phone.

CDMA technology adopts DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum). DSSS enables the phone to keep communication from being crossed and enables multiple users in the same specific area to use one frequency channel, resulting in a 10 fold increase in capacity when compared with the analog mode currently used. Soft/Softer Handoff, Hard Handoff, and Dynamic RF power Control technologies are combined into this phone to reduce call interruptions.

The Cellular and PCS CDMAnetworks consist of MSO (Mobile Switching Office), BSC (Base Station Controller), BTS (Base station Transmission System), and MS (Mobile Station). The following table lists some major CDMAStandards.

Important Information

This user’s manual provides important information on the use and operation of your phone. Please read all the information carefully prior to using the phone for the best performance and to prevent any damage to or misuse of the phone. Any unapproved change or modification will void your warranty.

Check Accessories

Your mobile phone comes with a one-slot desktop charger and a rechargeable battery. Please verify that these accessories are included.

Before You Start

Safety Instructions

WARNING! To reduce the possibility of electric shock, do not expose your phone to high humidity areas, such as the bathroom, swimming pool, etc. Use only LG-approved batteries and desktop chargers to avoid the damage to the phone. Using other batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may cause the explosion. Do not use batteries and desktop chargers for the other purposes other than their original purpose of using for the phone. Using other batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may cause damage.

Always store your phone away from heat. Never store your phone in settings that may expose it to temperatures less than 32°F or greater than 104°F, such as outside during a snow storm or in your car on a hot day. Exposure to excessive cold or heat will result in malfunction, damage and/or catastrophic failure.

Be careful when using your phone near other electronic devices. RF emissions from your mobile phone may affect

inadequately shielded electronic equipment nearby. You should consult with manufacturers of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aides, to determine if they are susceptible to interference from your mobile phone. Turn off your phone in a medical facility or at a gas station. Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will cause the battery to explode.

IMPORTANT! Please read the TIA SAFETY INFORMATION on page 111 before using your phone.

Safety Information

Please read and observe the following information for the safe and proper use of your phone and to prevent any unanticipated damage by accident. Also, keep the user’s manual in an accessible place all the times after reading it.

Unplug the power cord and charger during a lightning

storm to avoid electric shock or fire. Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as the

phone may generate sparks. Do not put your phone in a place subject to excessive

dust, and keep the minimum required distance between the power cord and heat sources.

Unplug the power cord prior to cleaning your phone, and

clean the power plug pin when it is dirty. 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 fire or electric shock.

Firmly plug the power cord and unplug the power cord

when you complete using. Ensure the plug is firmly connected. If it is not firmly connected, it may cause excessive heat or fire.

Do not place any heavy item on the power cord. Do not

allow the power cord to be crimped as it may cause fire or electric shock.

Do not impact to the phone with sharp articles such as nail

or animal’s teeth. Do not disassemble, or impact to the phone, or do not

place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may cause electric shock and fire by the short circuit.

Be careful not to let the battery contact metal conductors

such as a necklace or coins. When shorted, it may cause an explosion.

Do not disassemble or impact to the battery as it may cause

electric shock, short-circuit, and fire. Store the battery in a place out of reach of children.

Using a damaged battery or placing a battery in your

mouth may cause serious injury. Do not place items containing magnetic components such

as a credit card, phone card, bank book and a subway ticket, near your phone. The magnetism of the phone may damage the data stored in the magnetic strip.

Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your

body during a call. Talking on your phone for a long period of time may

reduce the call quality due to heat generated during the use. Do not vibrate or impact to the phone.

When you do not use the phone for a long period time,

store it in a safe area with the power cord unplugged.

Be careful about breakage of the phone as it may result in

body injury.

FCC RF Exposure Information

WARNING! Read this information before operating the

phone.

In August 1996, the Federal Communications (FCC) of the United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96326, 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 these international standards.

CAUTION

Use only the supplied and approved antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas or modifications could impair call quality, damage the phone, void your warranty and/or result in violation of FCC regulations.

Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with skin, a minor burn may result. Contact your local dealer for a replacement of antenna.

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of between the user’s body and the back of the phone, including the antenna, whether extended or retracted. Third-party beltclips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components should not be used. Body-worn accessories that

cannot maintain

/4inch (2 cm) separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone, and have not been tested for typical body-worn operations may not comply with FCC RF exposure limits and should be avoided.

/4inch (2 cm) from the body. To

/4 inches (2 cm) must be maintained

Vehicle Mounted External Antenna (optional, if available)

Aminimum separation distance of 8 inches (20 cm) must be maintained between the user/bystander and the vehicle mounted external antenna to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements.

For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov

FCC Part 15 Class B Compliance

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 may cause undesired operation.
