cause the battery to explode.
●
Never store your phone in temperatures less than
-4°F or greater than 122°F.
●
Do not dispose of your battery near fire or with

Important Safety Precautions
2 VX5400
Important Safety Precautions
●
Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct
sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as
a bathroom.
●
Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol,
benzene, thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean your
phone. This could cause a fire.
●
Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. It
may harm the internal circuit boards of the phone.
●
Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as the
phone may generate sparks.
●
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 electric shock or fire.
●
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.
●
Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is
being charged. It may cause an electric shock or
seriously damage your phone.
●
Do not disassemble the phone.
VX5400 3
●
Do not place or answer calls while charging the
phone as it may short-circuit the phone and/or cause
electric shock or fire.
●
Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with
your body during a call.
●
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.
●
Store the battery out of reach of children.
●
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.
●
Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning
storms to avoid electric shock or fire.
●
Only use the batteries and chargers provided by LG.
The warranty will not be applied to products provided
by other suppliers.
●
Only authorized personnel should service the phone
and its accessories. Faulty installation or service may
result in accidents and consequently invalidate the
warranty.
●
An emergency call can be made only within a service
area. For an emergency call, make sure that you are
within a service area and that the phone is turned on.

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.
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 causes undesired
operation.
Technical Details
The VX5400 is a tri-mode 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).
* TSB -74: Protocol between an IS-
95A system and ANSI J-STD-008
1xRTT system receives twice as many
subscribers in the wireless section as
IS-95. Its battery life is twice as long
as IS-95. High-speed data
transmission is also possible.

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
these international standards.
Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for typical use
with the back of the phone kept 0.6
inches (1.5 cm) from the body. To
comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation
distance of 0.6 inches (1.5 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 0.6 inches (1.5 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.
Caution
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.
NOTE
Internal Antenna (internal antenna
described as antenna throughout this
user guide)
