Important Safety Precautions

Read these simple guidelines. Breaking the rules may be dangerous or illegal. Further detailed information is

given in this user guide.

WARNING! Violation of the instructions may cause serious injury or death.

1. Never use an unapproved battery since this could damage the phone and/or battery and could

cause the battery to explode.

2. Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will cause the battery to explode.

3. Never store your phone in temperatures less than -4°F or greater than 122°F.

4. Do not dispose of your battery by fire or with hazardous or flammable materials.

5. When riding in a car, do not leave your phone or set up the hands-free kit near to the air bag.

If wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag is deployed, you may be seriously

injured.

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

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

Important Safety Precautions

1. Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct sunlight or use it in places with high

humidity, such as a bathroom.

2. Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene, thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean

your phone. This could cause a fire.

3. Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. It may harm the internal circuit boards of the

phone.

4. Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as the phone may generate sparks.

5. 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 a fire or electric shock.

6. 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.

7. Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is being charged. It may cause an electric

shock or seriously damage your phone.

8. Do not disassemble the phone.

1. Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may short-circuit the phone and/or

cause electric shock or fire.

2. Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your body during a call.

3. 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.

4. Store the battery out of reach of children.

5. Be careful that children do not swallow any parts. This could cause asphyxiation or suffocation

resulting in serious injury or death.

6. Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning storms to avoid electric shock or fire.

7. Only use the batteries and chargers provided by LG. The warranty will not be applied to

products provided by other suppliers.

CDMA Standard Designator

Description

The LG 8500 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.

TIA/EIA/IS-95A

TSB-74

ANSI J-STD-008

TIA/EIA-IS2000

Basic Air

Interface

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.

maintain 0.6 inches (1.5 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.

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 U.S, Canada and

international standards bodies.

Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna

(Optional, if available.)

A minimum separation distance of 8 inches (20 cm) must

be maintained between the user / bystander and the

vehicle-mounted external antenna to satisfy FCC RF

exposure requirements. For more information about RF

exposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.

The design of this phone complies with the FCC

guidelines and these international standards.

Caution

Use only the supplied and approved antenna. Use of

unauthorized antennas or modifications could impair call

quality, damage the phone, void your warranty and/or

result in violation of FCC regulations.

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

retracted. Third-party belt-clips, holsters and similar

accessories containing metallic components should not

Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a

damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin a

minor burn may result. Contact your local dealer for a

replacement antenna.

Tips on Efficient Operation

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association

recommends that a minimum separation of six inches

be maintained between a handheld wireless phone

and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with

the pacemaker. These recommendations are

consistent with the independent research by and

recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

For your phone to operate most efficiently:

Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the

phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects call

quality and may cause the phone to operate at a

higher power level than otherwise needed.

Driving

Persons with Pacemakers:

Check the laws and regulations on the use of

wireless phones in the areas where you drive and

always obey them. Also, if using your phone while

driving, please observe the following:

●

Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six

inches from their pacemaker when the phone is

turned ON;

●

Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;

●

Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is

your first responsibility;

●

Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to

minimize the potential for interference;

Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any

reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

●

Use hands-free operation, if available;

●

Pull off the road and park before making or answering

a call if driving conditions or the law so require.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with

some hearing aids. In the event of such interference,

you may want to consult your service provider (or

alternatives.) Optional for each phone manufacturer.

Other Medical Devices

Aircraft

If you use any other personal medical device, consult

the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is

adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your

physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this

information.

FCC and Transport Canada regulations prohibit using

your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your phone

before boarding an aircraft.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your

phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas

posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and

instructions.

Health Care Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any

regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do

so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use

equipment that could be sensitive to external RF

energy.

Potentially Explosive Atmosphere

Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a

potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and

instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an

explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or

inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor

vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its

representative regarding your vehicle. You should

also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that

has been added to your vehicle.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are

often, but not always marked clearly. Potential areas

may include: fueling areas (such as gasoline stations);

below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or

storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum

gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air

contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust,

or metal powders); and any other area where you would

normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Posted Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted

notices so require.

FDA Consumer Update

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s

Center for Devices and Radiological

Health Consumer Update on Mobile

Phones:

If you are listening to music while out and about,

please ensure that the volume is at a reasonable

level so that you are aware of your surroundings.

This is particularly imperative when attempting to

cross the street.

1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?

The available scientific evidence does not show that

any health problems are associated with using

wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that

wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless

phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF)

in the microwave range while being used. They also

emit very low levels of RF when in the Main Menu

Screen. Whereas high levels of RF can produce

health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low

level RF that does not produce heating effects

causes no known adverse health effects. Many

studies of low level RF exposures have not found any

biological effects. Some studies have suggested that

some biological effects may occur, but such findings

have not been confirmed by additional research. In

some cases, other researchers have had difficulty in

reproducing those studies, or in determining the

reasons for inconsistent results.

Avoid damage to your hearing

Damage to your hearing can occur if you are

exposed to loud sound for long periods of time. We

therefore recommend that you do not turn on or off

the handset close to your ear. We also recommend

that music and call volumes are set to a reasonable

level.

Safety

●

2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of

wireless phones?

Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones

with the best possible information on possible

effects of wireless phone use on human health.

Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of

radiation-emitting consumer products such as

wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does

with new drugs or medical devices. However, the

agency has authority to take action if wireless

phones are shown to emit radiofrequency energy

(RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a

case, the FDA could require the manufacturers of

wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard

and to repair, replace, or recall the phones so that

the hazard no longer exists.

The FDA belongs to an interagency working group of

the federal agencies that have responsibility for

different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated

efforts at the federal level. The following agencies

belong to this working group:

●

National Institute for Occupational Safety and

Health

●

Environmental Protection Agency

●

Occupational Safety and Health Administration

●

National Telecommunications and Information

Although the existing scientific data do not justify

FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the

wireless phone industry to take a number of steps,

including the following:

Administration

The National Institutes of Health participates in some

interagency working group activities, as well.

●

The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for

wireless phones with the Federal Communications

Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the

United States must comply with FCC safety

guidelines that limit RF exposure.

Support needed research into possible biological

effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless phones;

●

Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes

any RF exposure to the user that is not necessary

for device function; and

The FCC relies on the FDA and other health agencies

for safety questions about wireless phones.

The FCC also regulates the base stations that the

wireless phone networks rely upon. While these

base stations operate at higher power than do the

wireless phones themselves, the RF exposures that

people get from these base stations are typically

thousands of times lower than those they can get

from wireless phones. Base stations are thus not the

subject of the safety questions discussed in this

document.

source. The so called “cordless phones,” which

have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring

in a house, typically operate at far lower power

levels, and thus produce RF exposures far below the

FCC safety limits.

4. What are the results of the research done already?

The research done thus far has produced conflicting

results, and many studies have suffered from flaws in

their research methods. Animal experiments

3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this

update?

investigating the effects of radiofrequency energy

(RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phones

have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be

repeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies,

however, have suggested that low levels of RF could

accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory

animals. However, many of the studies that showed

increased tumor development used animals that had

been genetically engineered or treated with

cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed

to develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure.

Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22

hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the

conditions under which people use wireless phones,

so we don’t know with certainty what the results of

The term “wireless phone” refers here to handheld

wireless phones with built-in antennas, often called

“cell”, “mobile”, or “PCS” phones. These types of

wireless phones can expose the user to measurable

radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short

distance between the phone and the user’s head.

These RF exposures are limited by FCC safety

guidelines that were developed with the advice of

the FDA and other federal health and safety

agencies. When the phone is located at greater

distances from the user, the exposure to RF is

drastically lower because a person's RF exposure

decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the

more years follow-up may be needed to provide

answers about some health effects, such as cancer.

This is because the interval between the time of

exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time

tumors develop — if they do — may be many, many

years. The interpretation of epidemiological studies

is hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF

exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones.

Many factors affect this measurement, such as the

angle at which the phone is held, or which model of

phone is used.

epidemiology studies have been published since

December 2000. Between them, the studies

investigated any possible association between the

use of wireless phones and primary brain cancer,

glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of

the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other

cancers. None of the studies demonstrated the

existence of any harmful health effects from wireless

phone RF exposures. However, none of the studies

can answer questions about long-term exposures,

since the average period of phone use in these

studies was around three years.

6. What is the FDA doing to find out more about the

possible health effects of wireless phone RF?

5. What research is needed to decide whether RF

exposure from wireless phones poses a health

risk?

The FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology

Program and with groups of investigators around the

world to ensure that high priority animal studies are

conducted to address important questions about the

effects of exposure to radio frequency energy (RF).

The FDA has been a leading participant in the World

Health Organization International Electromagnetic

Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. An

influential result of this work has been the

A combination of laboratory studies and

epidemiological studies of people actually using

wireless phones would provide some of the data that

are needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could

be completed in a few years. However, very large

numbers of animals would be needed to provide

reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if one

exists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that

development of a detailed agenda of research needs

that has driven the establishment of new research

programs around the world. The project has also

helped develop a series of public information

documents on EMF issues. The FDA and the Cellular

Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)

have a formal Cooperative Research and

7. How can I find out how much radio frequency

energy exposure I can get by using my wireless

phone?

All phones sold in the United States must comply

with Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

guidelines that limit radio frequency energy (RF)

exposures. The FCC established these guidelines in

consultation with the FDA and the other federal

health and safety agencies. The FCC limit for RF

exposure from wireless telephones is set at a

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per

kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent with

the safety standards developed by the Institute of

Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the

National Council on Radiation Protection and

Measurement. The exposure limit takes into

consideration the body’s ability to remove heat from

the tissues that absorb energy from the wireless

phone and is set well below levels known to have

effects. Manufacturers of wireless phones must

report the RF exposure level for each model of phone

to the FCC. The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/

rfsafety) gives directions for locating the FCC

identification number on your phone so you can find

your phone’s RF exposure level in the online listing.

Development Agreement (CRADA) to do research on

wireless phone safety. The FDA provides the

scientific oversight, obtaining input from experts in

government, industry, and academic organizations.

CTIA-funded research is conducted through

contracts with independent investigators. The initial

research will include both laboratory studies and

studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also

include a broad assessment of additional research

needs in the context of the latest research

developments around the world.

8. What has the FDA done to measure the radio

frequency energy coming from wireless phones?

9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to

radio frequency energy from my wireless phone?

The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers

(IEEE) is developing a technical standard for

measuring the radio frequency energy (RF) exposure

from wireless phones and other wireless handsets

with the participation and leadership of FDA

scientists and engineers. The standard,

If there is a risk from these products — and at this

point we do not know that there is — it is probably

very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding

even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps

to minimize your exposure to radio frequency energy

(RF). Since time is a key factor in how much

exposure a person receives, reducing the amount of

time spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF

exposure. If you must conduct extended

conversations by wireless phone every day, you

could place more distance between your body and

the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops

off dramatically with distance. For example, you

could use a headset and carry the wireless phone

away from your body or use a wireless phone

connected to a remote antenna. Again, the scientific

data do not demonstrate that wireless phones are

harmful. But if you are concerned about the RF

exposure from these products, you can use

“Recommended Practice for Determining the Spatial-

Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human

Body Due to Wireless Communications Devices:

Experimental Techniques,” sets forth the first

consistent test methodology for measuring the rate

at which RF is deposited in the heads of wireless

phone users. The test method uses a tissue-

simulating model of the human head. Standardized

SAR test methodology is expected to greatly improve

the consistency of measurements made at different

laboratories on the same phone. SAR is the

measurement of the amount of energy absorbed in

tissue, either by the whole body or a small part of the

body. It is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of

matter. This measurement is used to determine

whether a wireless phone complies with safety

guidelines.

measures like those described above to reduce your

RF exposure from wireless phone use.

10. What about children using wireless phones?

11. What about wireless phone interference with

medical equipment?

The scientific evidence does not show a danger to

users of wireless phones, including children and

teenagers. If you want to take steps to lower

exposure to radio frequency energy (RF), the

measures described above would apply to children

and teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing the

time of wireless phone use and increasing the

distance between the user and the RF source will

reduce RF exposure. Some groups sponsored by

other national governments have advised that

children be discouraged from using wireless phones

at all. For example, the government in the United

Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a

recommendation in December 2000. They noted that

no evidence exists that using a wireless phone

causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their

recommendation to limit wireless phone use by

children was strictly precautionary; it was not based

on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.

Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones

can interact with some electronic devices. For this

reason, the FDA helped develop a detailed test

method to measure electromagnetic interference

(EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers and

defibrillators from wireless telephones. This test

method is now part of a standard sponsored by the

Association for the Advancement of Medical

instrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effort

by the FDA, medical device manufacturers, and many

other groups, was completed in late 2000. This

standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that

cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from

wireless phone EMI. The FDA has tested hearing

aids for interference from handheld wireless phones

and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored

by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers

(IEEE). This standard specifies test methods and

performance requirements for hearing aids and

wireless phones so that no interference occurs

when a person uses a “compatible” phone and a

“compatible” hearing aid at the same time. This

standard was approved by the IEEE in 2000. The FDA

Safety

continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for

Consumer Information on SAR

possible interactions with other medical devices.

Should harmful interference be found to occur, the

FDA will conduct testing to assess the interference

and work to resolve the problem.

(Specific Absorption Rate)

This Model Phone Meets the Government’s

Requirements for Exposure to Radio Waves. Your

wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It

is designed and manufactured not to exceed the

emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)

energy set by the Federal Communications

Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits

are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish

permitted levels of RF energy for the general

population. The guidelines are based on standards

that were developed by independent scientific

organizations through periodic and thorough

evaluation of scientific studies. The standards

include a substantial safety margin designed to

assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age

and health.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones

employs a unit of measurement known as the

Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set

by the FCC/ICis 1.6 W/kg*. Tests for SAR are

conducted using standard operating positions

specified by the FCC with the phone transmitting at

National Radiological Protection Board (UK)

(http://www.hpa.org.uk/radiation/)

its highest certified power level in all tested

frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at

the highest certified power level, the actual SAR

level of the phone while operating can be well

below the maximum value. Because the phone is

designed to operate at multiple power levels to use

only the power required to reach the network, in

general, the closer you are to a wireless base

station antenna, the lower the power output.

government requirement for safe exposure. The FCC

has granted an Equipment Authorization for this

model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated

as in compliance with the FCC RF emission

guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is

on file with the FCC and can be found under the

Display Grant section of

http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC

ID BEJVX8500. Additional information on Specific

Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular

Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA)

website at http://www.ctia.org.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the

public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC

that it does not exceed the limit established by the

government-adopted requirement for safe exposure.

The tests are performed in positions and locations

(e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required

by the FCC for each model.

In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit

for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg

(W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue.

The standard incorporates a substantial margin of

safety to give additional protection for the public

and to account for any variations in measurements.

The highest SAR value for this model phone when

tested for use at the ear is 1.13 W/kg and when

worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is

0.773 W/kg (body-worn measurements differ among

phone models, depending upon available

accessories and FCC/IC requirements). While there

may be differences between SAR levels of various

phones and at various positions, they all meet the
