Important Safety Precautions
1
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.
2
●
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.
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 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.
Technical Details
10
Technical Details
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.

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
