WARNING! To reduce the possibility of electric shock, do not expose your phone to high humidity areas, such as a bathroom, swimming area, etc.

Caution: 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 an explosion.

Caution: Do not use batteries and desktop chargers for other than the intended purposes.

Never store your phone in temperatures less than -4° F or greater than 122° F, such as outside during a snowstorm or in your car on a hot day. Exposure to excessive cold or heat may result in phone malfunction, damage and/or failure.

Use caution when using your phone near other electronic devices. RF emissions from your mobile phone may affect nearby inadequately shielded electronic equipment. Consult 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.

IMPORTANT! Please read the TIA safety

information in chapter 5 before using your phone.

Technic a l Details

The VX6000 is a dual-band 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 following table lists some major CDMA standards.
