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.

● Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.

● Do not use the phone in areas where its use is prohibited. (For example: aircraft)

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.

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 0.78 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.
