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.  
2
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. 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.

SAFETY  
Phone Operation  
TIA Safety Information  
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would  
any other telephone with the antenna pointed up and  
over your shoulder.  
The following is the complete TIA Safety Information  
for wireless handheld phones.  
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal  
Tips on Efficient Operation  
Your wireless handheld portable phone is a low power  
radio transmitter and receiver. When ON, it receives  
and sends out Radio Frequency (RF) signals.  
For your phone to operate most efficiently:  
Don’t 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.  
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 international  
standards bodies:  
Driving  
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:  
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *  
NCRP Report 86 (1986)  
ICNIRP (1996)  
Give full attention to driving -- driving safely is your  
first responsibility;  
* American National Standards Institute; National  
Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements;  
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation  
Protection  
Use hands-free operation, if available;  
Pull off the road and park before making or  
answering a call if driving conditions or the law  
require it.  
Those standards were based on comprehensive and  
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).  
Electronic Devices  
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.  
The design of your phone complies with the FCC  
guidelines (and those standards).  
Pacemakers  
Antenna Care  
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association  
recommends that a minimum separation of six (6)  
inches be maintained between a handheld wireless  
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference  
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement  
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or  
attachments could damage the phone and may violate

minimize the potential for interference;  
Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is  
any reason to suspect that interference is taking

place.  
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.  
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 call the  
customer service line to discuss alternatives).  
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.  
Other Medical Devices  
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.  
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.  
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.  
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag  
Vehicles  
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.  
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.

SAFETY  
Use of extended backlighting, Browser, and data  
connectivity kits affect battery life and talk/standby  
times.

Please read and observe the following information for  
safe and proper use of your phone and to prevent  
damage. Also, keep the user guide in an accessible  
place at all times after reading it.  
The self-protection function of the battery cuts the

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 Radio Frequency (RF) energy in the

microwave range while being used. They also emit very  
low levels of RF when in standby mode. 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.  
Do not paint your phone.  
The data saved in your phone might be deleted due  
to careless use, repair of the phone, or upgrade of the  
software. Please backup your important phone  
numbers. The manufacturer is not liable for damage  
due to the loss of data.  
When you use the phone in public places, set the ring  
tone to vibration so as not to disturb others.  
2. What is the FDA's role concerning the  
safety of wireless phones?  
Do not turn your phone on or off when putting it to  
your ear.  
Use accessories, such as earphones and headsets,  
with caution. Ensure that cables are tucked away  
safely and do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.  
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 Radio Frequency (RF) energy 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.  
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA

safety questions discussed in this document.  
phone industry to take a number of steps, including  
the following:  
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of  
this update?  
Support needed research into possible biological  
effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless  
phones;  
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  
Radio Frequency (RF) energy because of the short  
distance between the phone and the user’s head.  
Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any  
RF exposure to the user that is not necessary for  
device function; and  
Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones  
with the best possible information on possible  
effects of wireless phone use on human health.  
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 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.  
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  
4. What are the results of the research  
done already?  
National Telecommunications and Information

The National Institutes of Health participates in some  
interagency working group activities, as well.

results, and many studies have suffered from flaws in  
their research methods. Animal experiments  
The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless  
phones with the Federal Communications Commission

must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF  
exposure. The FCC relies on the FDA and other health  
agencies for safety questions about wireless phones.  
investigating the effects of Radio Frequency (RF)  
energy 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  
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

know with certainty what the results of 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.  
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 (RF) energy.  
The FDA has been a leading participant in the World  
Health Organization International Electro Magnetic  
Fields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. An  
influential result of this work has been the  
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 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  
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 is  
directly applicable to human populations, but ten or  
more years follow-up may be needed to provide  
answers about some health effects, such as cancer.

is common sense. Do not get caught in a  
dangerous situation because you are reading or  
writing and not paying attention to the road or  
nearby vehicles.  
10 Driver Safety Tips  
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to  
communicate by voice almost anywhere, anytime. An  
important responsibility accompanies the benefits of  
wireless phones, one that every user must uphold.  
When operating a car, driving is your first  
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place  
calls when you are not moving or before pulling  
into traffic. Try to plan your calls before you begin  
your trip or attempt to coincide your calls with  
times you may be stopped at a stop sign, red light,  
or otherwise stationary. But if you need to dial  
while driving, follow this simple tip -- dial only a few  
numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then  
continue.  
responsibility. When using your wireless phone behind  
the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and  
remember the following tips:  
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features  
such as speed dial and redial. Carefully read your  
instruction manual and learn to take advantage of  
valuable features most phones offer, including  
automatic redial and memory. Also, work to  
memorize the phone keypad so you can use the  
speed dial function without taking your attention  
off the road.  
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional  
conversations that may be distracting. Stressful or  
emotional conversations and driving do not mix;  
they are distracting and even dangerous when you  
are behind the wheel of a car. Make people you are  
talking with aware you are driving and if necessary,  
suspend conversations which have the potential to  
divert your attention from the road.  
2. When available, use a hands-free device. A number  
of hands-free wireless phone accessories are readily  
available today. Whether you choose an installed  
mounted device for your wireless phone or a  
speaker phone accessory, take advantage of these  
devices if available to you.  
8. Use your wireless phone to call for help. Your  
wireless phone is one of the greatest tools you can  
own to protect yourself and your family in  
3. Make sure you place your wireless phone within  
easy reach and where you can reach it without  
removing your eyes from the road. If you get an  
incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible,  
let your voicemail answer it for you.  
dangerous situations -- with your phone at your  
side, help is only three numbers away. Dial 911 or  
other local emergency number in the case of fire,  
traffic accident, road hazard, or medical emergency.  
Remember, it’s a free call on your wireless phone!  
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving  
conditions or situations. Let the person you are  
speaking with know you are driving; if necessary,  
suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous  
weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, and ice can  
be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As a driver,  
your first responsibility is to pay attention to the  
road.  
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in  
emergencies. Your wireless phone provides you a  
perfect opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” in  
your community. If you see an auto accident, crime  
in progress or other serious emergency where lives  
are in danger, call 911 or other local emergency  
number, as you would want others to do for you.

Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing  
device manufacturer or hearing health professional  
may help you find this rating. Higher ratings mean  
that the hearing device is relatively immune to  
interference noise. The hearing aid and wireless phone  
rating values are then added together. A sum of 5 is  
considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is  
considered for best use.  
the U.S. Federal Communications  
Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket  
01-309 modified the exception of wireless phones  
under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988  
(HAC Act) to require digital wireless phones be  
compatible with hearing-aids. The intent of the HAC  
Act is to ensure reasonable access to  
telecommunications services for persons with hearing  
disabilities.  
While some wireless phones are used near some  
hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants),  
users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining  
noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than  
others to this interference noise, and phones also vary  
in the amount of interference they generate.  
In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2  
level rating and the wireless phone meets the M3 level  
rating, the sum of the two values equal M5. This is  
synonymous for T ratings. This should provide the  
hearing aid user with “normal usage” while using their  
hearing aid with the particular wireless phone.  
The wireless telephone industry has developed a  
rating system for wireless phones, to assist hearing  
device users find phones that may be compatible with  
their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated.  
Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a  
label located on the box.  
“Normal usage” in this context is defined as a signal  
quality that is acceptable for normal operation.  
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary  
depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing  
loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable  
to interference, you may not be able to use a rated  
phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your  
hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your  
personal needs.  
The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U  
mark. The T mark is intended to be synonymous with  
the UT mark. The M and T marks are recommended  
by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industries  
Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced  
34  
in Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules. The HAC rating  
and measurement procedure are described in the  
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19  
standard.
