Important Care & Precautions:

Before connecting or using your new phone, take a moment to consider safety and reliability.
Use common sense when locating, connecting and using your GDC-500H.

• The GDC-500H uses 3.7 VDC Li-ion batteries. Replace batteries only with identical

size and type available from your local LG-Ericsson dealer. Use of a different battery
type may cause damage to the phone or charger and may cause fire or explosion.
Dispose of batteries in accordance with any local codes or regulation.

• The Charger/base unit should only be used on a dry level surface. Keep the

Charger/base away from the edges of the surface to avoid the potential of a fall.

• Avoid situations where you might drop the handset. While the GDC-500H is a rugged

mobile device, dropping it on to the floor may cause critical damage.

• Locate cables to avoid potential for damage. For example, do not place under rugs or

carpet as damage may result from foot traffic or heavy objects. Also, do not locate
cables between the desktop and walls where they may be crushed, damaging the
insulation.

• Check cables regularly, and if damage is noted, disconnect your phone. Contact your

local representative for a replacement.

• Should liquid spill on the handset, remove the batteries and dry with a soft cloth.

• Do not use during lightning storms. Lightning presents a potential shock hazard.

• Clean the GDC-500H with a soft dry cloth; do not use liquid cleaners.

• Always use caution when connecting to AC power. Use only with a properly grounded

standard AC power outlet.

Introduction

GDC-500H is a wireless handset that employs DECT technology to provide local in-building
mobility. Wireless Radio Frequencies (RF) signals are exchanged between the handset and
base stations (GDC-400B / 600B/GDC-600BE). Multiple base stations connect to the
Wireless Management Interface (WMI) in your LG-Ericsson phone system. The WMI links
the connected base stations forming a larger Base or Zone. Within this zone, transparent
handover of active communications between base stations in the zone is supported.
