future reference.
Important Safety Precautions
Read these instructions. 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.

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

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 (such as rubber plugs,
earphone, connection parts of the phone, etc.) 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.
8. Only authorized personnel should service the phone and its accessories.
Faulty installation or service may result in accidents and consequently
invalidate the warranty.
9. Virgin Mobile programs one or more emergency phone numbers, such as 911,
that you can call under any circumstances, even when your phone is locked.
Your phone’s preprogrammed emergency number(s) may not work in all
locations, and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed due to network,

standard for measuring the Radio
federal health and safety agencies. The FCC
limit for RF exposure from wireless phones
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

The standard, “Recommended Practice for

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
effects. Manufacturers of wireless phones
must report the RF exposure level for each
model of phone to the FCC. The FCC

10. What about children using wireless
phones?
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 (RF) energy. 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 measures like
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 (RF) energy, 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

containing such a recommendation in

radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to

exposure limits are derived from the
recommendations of two expert
organizations, the National Counsel on

Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases,
the recommendations were developed by
scientific and engineering experts drawn
from industry, government, and academia
after extensive reviews of the scientific
literature related to the biological effects of

The above tips are meant as general
guidelines. Before deciding to use your
mobile device while operating a vehicle, it
