CDMA Standard Designator  
Description  
The LG 150 is a trimode 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  
CDMA Tri-Mode Air Interface  
14.4kbps radio link protocol and  
inter-band operations  
Basic Air  
Interface  
TSB-74  
ANSI J-STD-008  
The LG 150 also works on Advanced Mobile Phone Service  
(AMPS). Since this phone operates on these three Wireless  
networks the call fail rate is less than on a conventional  
dual-mode or single-mode phone.  
IS-95 adapted for PCS frequency  
band CDMA2000 1xRTT  
AirInterface  
TIA/EIA-IS2000  
ANSI TIA/EIA 553A  
Advanced Mobile Phone Service  
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.

components should not be used. Avoid the use of  
accessories that cannot 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.  
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.  
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  
The design of this phone complies with the FCC  
guidelines and these international standards.  
Caution  
Bodily Contact During Operation  
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 and IC regulations.  
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  
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

Safety  
Those standards were based on comprehensive and  
TIA (Telecommunications Industry  
Association) Safety Information  
periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific  
literature. For example, over 120 scientists,  
engineers, and physicians from universities,  
government health agencies, and industry reviewed  
the available body of research to develop the ANSI  
Standard (C95.1).  
The following is the complete TIA Safety Information  
for wireless handheld phones.  
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal  
Your wireless handheld portable phone is a low  
power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON,  
it receives and also sends out Radio Frequency (RF)  
signals. In August, 1996, the Federal Communications  
Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines  
with safety levels for handheld wireless phones.  
Those guidelines are consistent with the safety  
standards previously set by both U.S. and  
The design of your phone complies with the FCC  
guidelines, IC Regulations (and those standards).  
Antenna Care  
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement  
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or  
attachments could damage the phone and may  
violate FCC regulations.

Safety  
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  
Electronic Devices  
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  
call the customer service line to discuss alternatives).  
Optional for each phone manufacturer.  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from  
RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment  
may not be shielded against the RF signals from your  
wireless phone.  
56  
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.

Safety  
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag  
The battery does not need to be fully discharged  
before recharging.  
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place  
objects, including either installed or portable  
wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in  
the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless  
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag  
inflates, serious injury could result.  
Use only LG-approved chargers specific to your  
phone model since they are designed to maximize  
battery life.  
Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.  
Keep the battery’s metal contacts clean.  
Charger and Adapter Safety  
Replace the battery when it no longer provides  
acceptable performance. The battery can be  
recharged several hundred times before  
replacement.  
The charger and adapter are intended for indoor  
use only.  
Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to  
direct sunlight or use it in places with high  
humidity, such as a bathroom.  
Recharge the battery after long periods of non-use  
to maximize battery life.  
Battery life will vary due to usage patterns and  
environmental conditions.  
Battery Information and Care  
Please dispose of your battery properly or take it  
Use of extended backlighting, MiniBrowser, and  
data connectivity kits affect battery life and

pin), metallic articles (such as a coin, paperclip or  
pen) may short-circuit the phone. Always cover  
the receptacle when not in use.  
Such actions may harm the internal circuit boards  
of the phone.

such as a coin, paperclip or pen in your pocket or  
bag may short-circuit the + and – terminals of the  
battery (metal strips on the battery) upon moving.  
Short-circuit of the terminal may damage the  
battery and cause an explosion.  
When the phone is not used for a long period time,  
store it in a safe place with the power cord  
unplugged.  
Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it  
will cause the battery to explode.  
Using the phone in proximity to receiving  
equipment (i.e., TV or radio) may cause  
interference to the phone.  
General Warnings and Cautions  
Only authorized personnel should service the  
phone and its accessories. Faulty installation or  
service may result in accidents and consequently  
invalidate the warranty.  
Only use the batteries, antennas, and chargers  
provided by LG. The warranty will not be applied  
to products provided by other suppliers.  
Store the battery in a place out of reach of children.  
Do not use the phone if the antenna is damaged. If  
a damaged antenna contacts skin, it may cause a  
slight burn. Please contact an LG Authorized  
Service Center to replace the damaged antenna.  
Using a damaged battery or placing a battery in  
your mouth may cause serious injury.  
Do not place items containing magnetic  
components such as a credit card, phone card,  
bank book or subway ticket near your phone. The  
magnetism of the phone may damage the data  
stored in the magnetic strip.  
Do not use the phone in areas where its use is  
prohibited (for example: aircraft).  
Do not immerse your phone in water. If this  
happens, turn it off immediately and remove the  
battery. If the phone does not work, take it to an  
LG Authorized Service Center.  
Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact  
with your body during a call.  
60  
Use accessories, such as earphones and  
headsets, with caution. Ensure that cables are  
tucked away safely and do not touch the antenna  
unnecessarily.

operating any type of vehicle or performing any other  
activity that requires your full attention.  
Avoiding hearing damage  
Permanent hearing loss may occur if you use your  
phone and/or headset at a high volume. Set the  
volume to a safe level. You can adapt over time to a  
higher volume of sound that may sound normal but  
can be damaging to your hearing. If you experience  
ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening  
and have your hearing checked. The louder the  
volume, the less time is required before your hearing  
could be affected. Hearing experts suggest that to

1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?  
For information about how to set a maximum volume  
limit on your handset, please refer to the features  
guide for your handset.  
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.  
Using headsets safely  
Use of headsets to listen to music while operating a  
vehicle is not recommended and is illegal in some  
areas. Be careful and attentive while driving. Stop  
using this device if you find it disruptive or distracting  
while operating any type of vehicle or performing any  
other activity that requires your full attention.

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.  
63  
Safety  
The FCC also regulates the base stations that the  
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.  
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.  
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  
64  
such studies mean for human health. Three large  
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.  
is directly applicable to human populations, but 10 or  
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.  
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

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  
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

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.  
66  
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.  
67  
Safety  
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  
68  
continues to monitor the use of wireless phones for  
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.

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 is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted  
using standard operating positions specified by the  
FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest

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  
ID BEJLX150. Additional information on Specific  
Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular  
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA)  
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.  
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 0.961 W/kg and when  
worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is  
1.040 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
