Getting to know your phone  
Before you start using the phone, please  
read this!  
Please check to see whether any problems you  
encountered with your phone are described in this  
section before taking the phone in for service or  
calling a service representative.  
1. Phone memory  
When there is less than 10% of space available in  
your phone memory, your phone cannot receive new  
messages. You need to check your phone memory  
and delete some data, such as applications or  
messages, to make more memory available.  
To uninstall applications:  
1. On the Home screen, touch the Applications  
tab  
> Settings > Applications > Manage  
applications.  
2. Touch a tab at the top of the screen and select  
the application you want to uninstall.  
3. Touch Uninstall and OK to uninstall the  
application.  
9
2. Optimizing battery life  
Extend your battery's life between charges by  
turning off features that you don't need to having  
running constantly in the background. You can  
monitor how applications and system resources  
consume battery power.  
Extending your phone's battery life:  
Turn off radio communications you are not  
using, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or GPS.  
Reduce screen brightness and set a shorter  
screen timeout.  
Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail™,  
Calendar, Contacts and other applications.  
Some applications you have downloaded may  
reduce battery power.  
To check the battery power level:  
On the Home screen, touch the Applications  
tab  
> Settings > About phone > Status.  
The battery status (charging or not charging) and  
level (percentage charged) is displayed at the top of  
the screen.  
10 LG-E739 | User Guide  
To monitor and control how battery power is being  
used:  
On the Home screen, touch the Applications  
tab  
use.  
> Settings > About phone > Battery  
This screen displays battery usage times. It lists all  
of the applications or services using battery power  
from the greatest amount of energy used to the  
least amount.  
3. Before installing an open source  
application and operating system  
WARNING: If you install and use an  
operating system other than the one provided  
by the manufacturer it may cause your phone  
to malfunction. In addition, your phone will no  
longer be covered by the warranty.  
11  
WARNING: To protect your phone and  
personal data, only download applications from  
trusted sources, such as Android Market™.  
If there are improperly installed applications  
on your phone, it may not work normally or a  
serious error may occur. You must uninstall  
those applications and all associated data and  
settings from the phone.  
4. Using a microSD card  
Pictures, music and video files, can only be saved to  
external memory.  
Before using the camera, you will need to insert a  
microSD card into your phone.  
If you don't insert a memory card, you cannot save  
the pictures or videos you take with the camera.  
12 LG-E739 | User Guide  
5. Opening and switching applications  
Multitasking is easy with Android because you can  
keep more than one application running at the  
same time. There's no need to quit an application  
before opening another. Use and switch between  
several open applications. Android manages each  
application, stopping and starting them as needed  
to ensure that idle applications don't consume  
resources unnecessarily.  
To stop applications:  
1. On the Home screen, touch the Applications  
tab  
> Settings > Applications > Manage  
applications  
.
2. Touch a tab at the top of the screen and scroll to  
the desired application, then touch Force stop to  
stop it.  
TIP! To return to recent apps, touch and hold  
the Home Key  
. The screen then displays a  
list of applications you have recently used.  
13  
6. Synchronizing your phone to a computer  
via USB  
1. Use the USB cable to connect your phone to a  
USB port on your computer. Once connected,  
you will receive a notification that a USB  
connection has been made.  
2. Open the Notifications panel and touch USB  
connected.  
3. Touch Turn on USB storage and select “OK” to  
confirm that you want to transfer files between  
your phone's microSD card and the computer.  
You will receive a notification when the phone  
connects as USB storage. You can now copy files to  
and from the microSD card.  
TIP! To use the microSD card on your phone  
again, you need to open the Notifications panel  
and touch Turn off USB storage.  
During this time, you can't access the microSD card  
from your phone, so you can't use applications that  
rely on the microSD card, such as Camera, Gallery  
and Music.  
14 LG-E739 | User Guide  
To disconnect your phone from the computer:  
Open the Notifications panel and touch Turn off  
USB storage (twice) to disconnect your phone from  
the computer safely.  
7. Hold your phone upright  
Hold your mobile phone vertically, as you would  
a regular phone. The LG-E739 has an internal  
antenna. Be careful not to scratch or damage the  
back of the phone, as this may affect performance.  
While making/receiving calls or sending/receiving  
data, avoid holding the lower part of the phone  
where the antenna is located. Doing so may affect  
call quality.  
8. When the screen freezes  
If the screen freezes or the phone does not respond  
when you try to operate it:  
Remove the battery, reinsert it, then turn the phone  
on.  
OR  
Press and hold the Power/Lock Key  
seconds to turn it off.

Consumer Information About Radio  
Frequency Emissions  
Your wireless phone, which contains a radio  
transmitter and receiver, emits radio frequency  
energy during use. The following consumer  
information addresses commonly asked questions  
about the health effects of wireless phones.  
Are wireless phones safe?  
Scientific research on the subject of wireless  
phones and radio frequency (“RF”) energy has  
been conducted worldwide for many years, and  
continues. In the United States, the Food and  
Drug Administration (“FDA) and the Federal  
Communications Commission (“FCC”) set policies  
and procedures for wireless phones. The FDA  
issued a website publication on health issues related  
to cell phone usage where it states, “The scientific  
community at large … believes that the weight of  
scientific evidence does not show an association  
between exposure to radiofrequency (RF) from  
cell phones and adverse health outcomes. Still the  
scientific community does recommend conducting  
additional research to address gaps in knowledge.  
That research is being conducted around the  
world and FDA continues to monitor developments  
in this field. You can access the joint FDA/FCC  
website at http://www.fda.gov (under “C” in the  
117  
subject index, select Cell Phones > Research).  
You can also contact the FDA toll-free at (888)  
463-6332 or (888) INFO-FDA. In June 2000,  
the FDA entered into a cooperative research and  
development agreement through which additional  
scientific research is being conducted. The FCC  
issued its own website publication stating that  
“there is no scientific evidence that proves that  
wireless phone usage can lead to cancer or a variety  
of other problems, including headaches, dizziness or  
memory loss.” This publication is available at http://  
www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety or through the FCC at  
(888) 225-5322 or (888) CALL-FCC.  
What does “SAR” mean?  
In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S.  
Environmental Protection Agency, and other  
agencies, established RF exposure safety guidelines  
for wireless phones in the United States. Before a  
wireless phone model is available for sale to the  
public, it must be tested by the manufacturer and  
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed limits  
established by the FCC. One of these limits is  
expressed as a Specific Absorption Rate, or “SAR.”  
SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF  
energy in the body. Tests for SAR are conducted  
with the phone transmitting at its highest power  
level in all tested frequency bands. Since 1996,  
the FCC has required that the SAR of handheld  
118 LG-E739 | User Guide  
wireless phones not exceed 1.6 watts per kilogram,  
averaged over one gram of tissue.  
Although the SAR is determined at the highest  
power level, the actual SAR value of a wireless  
phone while operating can be less than the reported  
SAR value. This is because the SAR value may  
vary from call to call, depending on factors such as  
proximity to a cell site, the proximity of the phone  
to the body while in use, and the use of hands-free  
devices. 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.  
The highest SAR value for this model phone when  
tested for use at the ear is 1.30 W/kg and when  
worn on the body, as described in this user guide,  
is 1.05 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  
119  
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/ea/fccid/ after searching on FCC ID  
ZNFE739.  
For more information about SARs, see the FCC’s  
OET Bulletins 56 and 65 at http://www.fcc.gov/  
Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Documents/  
bulletins or visit the Cellular Telecommunications  
Industry Association website at http://www.ctia.org/  
consumer_info/index.cfm/AID/10371. You may also  
wish to contact the manufacturer of your phone.  
Can I minimize my RF exposure?  
If you are concerned about RF, there are several  
simple steps you can take to minimize your RF  
exposure. You can, of course, reduce your talk time.  
You can place more distance between your body  
and the source of the RF, as the exposure level  
drops off dramatically with distance. The FDA/FCC  
website states that “hands-free kits can be used  
with wireless phones for convenience and comfort.  
These systems reduce the absorption of RF energy  
in the head because the phone, which is the source  
of the RF emissions, will not be placed against the  
head. On the other hand, if the phone is mounted  
against the waist or other part of the body during  
use, then that part of the body will absorb more RF  
120 LG-E739 | User Guide  
energy. Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are  
required to meet safety requirements regardless of  
whether they are used against the head or against  
the body. Either configuration should result in  
compliance with the safety limit.” Also, if you use  
your wireless phone while in a car, you can use  
a phone with an antenna on the outside of the  
vehicle. You should also read and follow your wireless  
phone manufacturer’s instructions for the safe  
operation of your phone.  
Do wireless phones pose any special risks to  
children?  
The FDA/FCC website states that “the scientific  
evidence does not show a danger to users of  
wireless communication devices, including children.”  
The FDA/FCC website further states that “some  
groups sponsored by other national governments  
have advised that children be discouraged from  
using wireless phones at all. For example, the  
Stewart Report from the United Kingdom [“UK”]  
made such a recommendation in December 2000.  
In this report a group of independent experts noted  
that no evidence exists that using a cell phone  
causes brain tumors or other ill effects. [The UK’s]  
recommendation to limit cell phone use by children  
was strictly precautionary; it was not based on  
scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.  
A copy of the UK’s leaflet is available at http://  
121  
www.dh.gov.uk (search “mobile”), or you can write  
to: NRPB, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 ORQ, United  
Kingdom. Copies of the UK’s annual reports on  
mobile phones and RF are available online at www.  
iegmp.org.uk and http://www.hpa.org.uk/radiation/  
(search “mobile”). Parents who wish to reduce their  
children’s RF exposure may choose to restrict their  
children’s wireless phone use.

TIA Safety Information  
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 ON,  
it receives and 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  
international standards bodies:  
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *  
NCRP Report 86 (1986)  
ICNIRP (1996)  
* American National Standards Institute; National  
Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements;  
International Commission on Non-Ionizing  
Radiation Protection  
125  
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).  
The design of your phone complies with the FCC  
guidelines (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.  
Phone Operation  
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would  
any other telephone with the antenna pointed up  
and over your shoulder.  
Tips on Efficient Operation  
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.  
126 LG-E739 | User Guide  
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.  
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.  
Persons with pacemakers:  
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.  
127  
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).  
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.  
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.  
128 LG-E739 | User Guide  
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.  
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.  
129  
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.  
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.  
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.

FDA Consumer Update  
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 idle 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.  
131  
2. What is the FDA’s role concerning the safety  
of wireless phones?  
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 does 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;  
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.  
The FDA belongs to an interagency working group  
of the federal agencies that have responsibility for  
132 LG-E739 | User Guide  
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  
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. 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.  
133  
3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this  
update?  
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.  
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.  
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  
134 LG-E739 | User Guide  
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 do not 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.  
135  
5. What research is needed to decide whether  
RF exposure from wireless phones poses a  
health risk?  
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.  
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?  
The FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology  
Program and with groups of investigators around  
136 LG-E739 | User Guide  
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 developments around  
the world.  
137  
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 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 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.  
138 LG-E739 | User Guide  
8. What has the FDA done to measure the  
Radio Frequency energy coming from 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 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.  
139  
9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to  
Radio Frequency energy from my wireless phone?  
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 does  
not demonstrate that wireless phones 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.  
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  
140 LG-E739 | User Guide  
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.  
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  
141  
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 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.
