Welcome
Thank you for choosing the advanced and compact LG4270
cellular phone, designed to operate with the latest digital
mobile communication technology, Code Division Multiple
Access (CDMA) and Advanced Mobile Phone Service
(AMPS). Along with the many advanced features of the
CDMA system, such as significantly enhanced voice clarity,
this phone offers:

Technical Details
The LG4270 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. Also, the LG4270 works on
Advanced Mobile Phone Service. We call it a tri-mode
phone. Since the phone operates on Cellular, PCS and
AMPS, the call fail rate is less than on a conventional dual-
mode or singlemode phone.
LG4270 7
Welcome
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.
The Cellular and PCS CDMA networks consist of MSO
(Mobile Switching Office), BSC (Base Station Controller),
BTS (Base Station Transmission System), and MS (Mobile
Station). The following table lists some major CDMA
standards.

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 distance of
8
inches (20cm) 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,
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.
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.
Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for typical use with the back of the
phone kept 3/4 inches (2 cm) from the body. To comply with
FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation
distance of 3/4 inches (2 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 be used. Avoid the use of
accessories that cannot maintain 3/4 inches (2 cm)

Safety
industry reviewed the available body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
TIA Safety Information
The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for
wireless handheld phones.
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines
(and those standards).
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Antenna Care
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.
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the phone and may violate FCC
regulations.
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:
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any
other telephone with the antenna pointed up and over your
shoulder.
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *

ICNIRP (1996)
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
American National Standards Institute; National Council
on Radiation Protection and Measurements; International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
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.
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

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 (6)
inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned
ON;
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
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.

responsibility;
●
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.
Pacemakers
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 with the
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with
the independent research by and recommendations of
Wireless Technology Research.
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.

Safety
Health Care Facilities
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
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.
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.
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.
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.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notices
so require.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
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.
Aircraft
FCC 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.

2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of
wireless phones?
FDA Consumer Update
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.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s
Center for Devices and Radiological Health
Consumer Update on Mobile Phones:
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 the 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
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:
●
Support needed research into possible biological
effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless phones;
LG4270 71
Safety
●
●
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.
Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with
the best possible information on possible effects of
wireless phone use on human health.
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:
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
●
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
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.

Environmental Protection Agency
●
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
●
National Telecommunications and Information
Administration
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
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.

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 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
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 such studies mean for human
health. Three large epidemiology studies have been

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.
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 developments around the world.
6. What is the FDA doing to find out more about the
possible health effects of wireless phone RF?
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.
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 (RF) energy 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

Association (CTIA) have a formal Cooperative Research

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

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.
9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to Radio
Frequency energy from my wireless phone?
8. What has the FDA done to measure the Radio
Frequency energy coming from 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
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
is developing a technical standard for measuring the Radio
Frequency (RF) energy exposure from wireless phones
and other wireless handsets with the participation and
leadership of FDA scientists and engineers. The standard,
“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
LG4270 75
Safety
are harmful. But if you are concerned about the RF
exposure from these products, you can use measures like
those described above to reduce your RF exposure from
wireless phone use.
11. What about wireless phone interference with
medical equipment?
Radio Frequency (RF) energy from wireless phones can
interact with some electronic devices. For this reason, the
FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure
Electro Magnetic 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.
10. What about children using wireless phones?
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
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.
The FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones
76 LG4270
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.
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.
12. Where can I find additional information?
For additional information, please refer to the following
resources:
When operating a car, driving is your first responsibility.
When using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car,
practice good common sense and remember the following
tips:
FDA web page on wireless phones
(http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/phones/index.html)
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.
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.

3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Make
sure you place your wireless phone within easy reach
LG4270 77
Safety
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.
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.
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 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 is a free call on your wireless
phone!
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.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-
emergency assistance number when necessary. Certain
situations you encounter while driving may require
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.
5. Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while
driving. If you are reading an address book or business
card, or writing a “to-do” list while driving a car, you are
not watching where you are going. It is common sense.
Don’t get caught in a dangerous situation because you
are reading or writing and not paying attention to the
road or nearby vehicles.
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.

attention, but are not urgent enough to merit a call for
emergency services. But you can still use your wireless
phone to lend a hand. If you see a broken-down vehicle
posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor
traffic accident where no one appears injured or a
vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance
or other special non-emergency wireless number.
Consumer Information on SAR
(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.
For more information, please call to 888-901-SAFE, or visit
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 certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at the
LG4270 79
Safety
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.
can be found under the Display Grant section of
BEJVX3300. Additional information on Specific
Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website
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 1.22 W/kg (body-worn
measurements differ among phone models, depending
upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While
there may be differences between SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the
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

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility
(HAC) Regulations for Wireless
Devices
On July 10, 2003, 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.
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.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than
phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two
ratings.
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.
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.
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.

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 should provide the hearing aid
user with “normal usage” while using their hearing aid with the
particular wireless phone. “Normal usage” in this context is
defined as a signal quality that is acceptable for normal
operation.
