Important Safety Precautions
Read these simple guidelines. Breaking the rules may be dangerous
or illegal. Further detailed information is given in this user guide.
Violation of the instructions may cause serious injury or death.
●
Never use an unapproved battery since this could
damage the phone and/or battery and could cause
the battery to explode.
●
Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will
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
hazardous or flammable materials.
●
When riding in a car, do not leave your phone or set
up the hands-free kit near the air bag. If wireless
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag is
deployed, you may be seriously injured.

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.
●
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.

Technical Details
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.
Information to User
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 this
equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television
reception, which can be
determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct 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 which the receiver is
connected.
- Consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
Modifications not expressly
approved by the manufacturer
could void the user’s authority to
operated the equipment under FCC
rules.
Technical Details
The VX8360 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

Technical Details
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

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
0.78 inches (2 cm) from the body. To
comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 0.78 inches
(2 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 0.78 inches (2
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.

Getting Started with Your Phone
Charging the Battery
To use the charger provided with your
phone:
NOTICE
Please use only an approved
charging accessory to charge your
LG phone. Improper handling of the
charging port, as well as the use of
an incompatible charger, may cause
damage to your phone and void the
warranty.
1. Plug the end of the AC adapter
into the phone’s charger port and
the other end into an electrical
outlet.
NOTICE
Please make sure that the LG
logo faces down before
inserting a charger or data
cable into the charger port of
your phone.
2. The charge time varies depending
upon the battery level.

You can use your computer to
charge your phone. Connect one
end of the USB cable to the
charging accessory port on your
phone and the other end to a
highpower USB port on your PC.
But prior to do these steps, you
need to have proper USB drivers.
LG USB Driver is downloadable

becomes low, the battery sensor
sounds a warning tone, blinks the
battery icon, and displays a
warning message. As the charge
level approaches empty, the phone

strength in your area. You can tell
how much signal strength you have
by the number of bars next to the
