Section 2D:ControllingYour Roaming Experience  
67  
 
Understanding Roaming  
RecognizingtheRoamingIconontheDisplayScreen  
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when  
you’re off the available network. Any time you are roaming,  
the phone displays the roaming icon ( ). If you are  
roaming on an analog system, the roaming icon will display  
along with the text AnalogRoam.  
Remember, when you are using your phone off the available  
network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code +  
number).  
Tip:  
You may pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.  
Note:  
RoamingonOtherDigitalNetworks  
When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality  
and security will be similar to the quality you receive when  
making calls on the available network. However, you may  
not be able to access certain features, such as data services.  
If you’re on a call when you leave the available network and  
enter an area where roaming is available , your call is  
dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think  
network service is available, turn your phone off and on  
again to reconnect to the available network.  
Note:  
68  
Section 2D:ControllingYour Roaming Experience  
 
RoamingonAnalogNetworks  
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a  
similar quality provided by other analog carriers today.  
Although some features, such as data services, will be  
unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access  
voicemail. If you are accustomed to network service, you  
may notice some of the following differences when using  
analog service:  
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk,  
fade-out, and dropped calls.  
Some features which are standard on the available  
network, such as call waiting, data services, and direct  
international dialing, are unavailable.  
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you  
are roaming, you will not receive notification until you  
return to the available network. (See “Checking for  
Voicemail Messages While Roaming” on page 70.)  
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and  
cloning) that exist with conventional analog services  
today.  
Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you  
will need to recharge it more often when you use your  
phone for analog roaming.  
When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel  
warm. This is normal for analog operation.  
Note:  
Section 2D:ControllingYour Roaming Experience  
69  
CheckingforVoicemailMessagesWhileRoaming  
When you are roaming off the available network, you may  
not receive on-phone notification of new voicemail  
messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you will need  
to periodically check your voicemail for new messages if  
you are in a roaming service area for an extended period of  
time.  
Tocheckyourvoicemailwhileroaming:  
1. Dial 1+area code+your wireless phone number.

2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press  
.
3. Enter your pass code at the prompt and follow the  
voice prompts.  
When you return to the available network, voicemail  
notification will resume as normal.

SettingYour Phone’s Roam Mode  
Your phone allows you to control your roaming  
capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you can  
determine which signals your phone accepts.

Automatic seeks network service. When  
network service is unavailable, the phone  
searches for an alternate system.  
HomeOnly allows you to access the available  
network only and prevents roaming on other  
networks.  
RoamingOnly forces the phone to seek a roaming  
system. The previous setting (Home Only or  
Automatic) is restored the next time the phone is  
turned on.  
Section 2D:ControllingYour Roaming Experience  
71  
 
Using Call Guard  
Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are  
roaming off the available network: the onscreen roaming  
icon and Call Guard. Call Guard makes it easy to manage  
your roaming charges by requiring an extra step before you  
can place or answer a roaming call. (This additional step is  
not required when you make or receive calls while on the  
available network.)

Getting StartedWith Data Services  
With your LX-225 by LG and your wireless service, you are  
ready to start enjoying the advantages of data services. This  
section will help you learn the basics of using your data  
services, including managing your user name, launching a  
data connection, and navigating the Web with your phone.  
Your User Name  
When you buy a phone and sign up for service, you're  
automatically assigned a user name, which is typically  
based on your wireless phone number  
When you use data services, your user name is submitted to  
identify you to the available network. The user name is also  
useful as a way to personalize Web services and as an online  
virtual identity.  
Your user name will be automatically programmed into  
your phone. You don't have to enter it.  
FindingYourUserName  
If you aren't sure what your user name is, you can easily find  
it on your ohone.  
TofindyourUserName:

Connection Status and Indicators  
Your phone's display lets you know the current status of  
your data connection through indicators which appear at  
the top of the screen. The following symbols are used:  
Your data connection is active (data is being  
transferred); the transmit/receive symbol will blink to  
indicate data transmission. Incoming voice calls go  
directly to voicemail; outgoing voice calls can be  
made, but the data connection will terminate.  
Your data connection is dormant (no data is being sent  
or received). Though not currently active, when  
dormant the phone can restart an active connection  
quickly; voice calls can be made and received.  
Your phone is not currently able to access data  
features.  
If no indicator appears, your phone does not have a current  
data connection. To launch a connection, see “Launching a

Navigating theWeb  
Navigating through menus and Websites during a data  
session is easy once you've learned a few basics. Here are  
some tips for getting around:  
Softkeys  
During a data session, the bottom line of your phone's  
display contains one or more softkeys. These keys are  
shortcut controls for navigating around the Web, and they  
correspond to the softkey buttons directly below the  
phone’s display screen.  
Depending on which Websites you visit, the labels on the  
softkeys may change to indicate their function.  
Tip:  
Tousesoftkeys:  
Press the desired softkey button. (If an additional  
pop-up menu appears when you press the softkey  
button, select the menu items using your keypad [if  
they’re numbered] or by highlighting the option and  
OK  
pressing

scroll up and down to see everything on some Websites.

keypad (number keys) to select an item. (The tenth item in a  
numbered list may be selected by pressing the 0 key on your  
phone’s keypad, even though the number 0 doesn’t appear  
on the screen.)

understand the basic features of your phone’s operation.  
Section 4A:Safety  
181  
 
Getting the Most Out ofYour Reception  
KeepingTabsonSignalStrength  
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal  
strength in your area. Your phone informs you of the current signal  
strength by displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength icon.  
The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal. If you’re inside a  
building, being near a window may give you better reception.  
Understanding the Power Save Feature  
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a  
Power Save feature is automatically activated. If your phone is active, it  
periodically rechecks service availability; you can also check it yourself  
by pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a  
message is displayed on the screen. When a signal is found, your phone  
returns to standby mode.  
UnderstandingHowYourPhoneOperates  
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s  
turned on, it receives and transmits Radio Frequency (RF) signals.  
When you use your phone, the system handling your call controls the  
power level. This power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in  
digital mode.  
KnowingRadioFrequencySafety  
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards  
described below.  
In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)  
and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in  
updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human  
exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and  
physicians from universities, government health agencies and  
industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the  
available body of research. In 1993, the Federal Communications  
Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In  
August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the  
existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the  
National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).  
182  
Section 4A:Safety  
 
MaintainingYourPhone’sPeakPerformance  
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly  
and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.  
For optional call performance, please do not obstruct the internal  
antenna.  
Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.  
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.  
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills.  
If your phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and  
remove the battery.  
For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel should  
service your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the  
warranty.  
Note:  
Maintaining Safe Use of andAccess to  
Your Phone  
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD TO  
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE  
UsingYourPhoneWhileDriving  
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a  
hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to  
specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first.  
FollowingSafetyGuidelines  
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special  
regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is  
forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.  
UsingYourPhoneNearOtherElectronicDevices  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from Radio Frequency  
(RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect  
inadequately shielded electronic equipment.  
Section 4A:Safety  
183  
 
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded  
electronic operating systems and/or entertainment systems in motor  
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to  
determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF  
signals. Also check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment  
that has been added to your vehicle.  
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as  
pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately  
shielded from external RF signals.  
Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request  
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.  
Note:  
TurningOffYourPhoneBeforeFlying  
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible  
interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation  
Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a  
crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To  
prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your  
phone while the plane is in the air.  
TurningOffYourPhoneinDangerousAreas  
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when  
in a blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating two-way radios  
should be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF  
devices to set off explosives.  
Turn your phone off when you're in any area that has a potentially  
explosive atmosphere. Although it's rare, your phone and accessories  
could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting  
in bodily injury or even death. These areas are often, but not always,  
clearly marked. They include:  
Fueling areas such as gas stations.  
Below deck on boats.  
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.  
184  
Section 4A:Safety  
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain,  
dust, or metal powders.  
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off  
your vehicle’s engine.  
Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the  
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or  
accessories.  
Note:  
RestrictingChildren’sAccesstoYourPhone  
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they  
could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls that  
increase your invoice.  
UsingYour PhoneWith a HearingAid  
Device  
Your phone has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility.  
When 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 ratings for some of their  
mobile phones, to assist hearing device users in finding phones that  
may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been  
rated. Phones that are rated will have the rating on the box. Your LX-225  
by LG has an M3 rating.  
Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and may generate  
less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not  
labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.  
Note:  
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 successfully use a  
phone that has been tested and rated as Hearing Aid compatible. Trying  
Section 4A:Safety  
185  
 
the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for  
your personal needs. Should you experience interference when using  
your LX-225 with your hearing device, it is suggested that you promptly  
return the phone to the store. It is further suggested you experiment  
with multiple phones (even those not labeled with an M3 or M4) while  
in the retail store to find the one that works best with your hearing  
device  
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of  
interference. Your hearing aid device manufacturer or hearing health  
professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The  
more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience  
interference noise from wireless phones.  
Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience  
WithYour PM-225  
One way to minimize interference is to set the phone's Display and  
Keypad backlight settings to ensure the minimum time interval.  
To ensure the minimum interference from your Main Display  
and/or keypad backlight, follow these steps:  
1. Press Menu (left softkey) to access the main menu.

Caring for the Battery  
ProtectingYourBattery  
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s  
performance.  
Use only approved batteries and desktop chargers. These chargers  
are designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or  
chargers voids your warranty and may cause damage.  
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures  
that range from 32º F to 113º F (0º C to 45º C).  
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity  
areas, such as the bathroom.  
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.  
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.  
Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.  
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long  
period of time.  
It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable  
performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs  
replacing.  
Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of  
time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:  
Less than one month:  
-4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)  
More than one month:  
-4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)

Section 4A:Safety  
Acknowledging Special Precautions  
and the FCC Notice  
FCC Notice  
This phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close  
proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop  
using the phone if such interference cannot be eliminated.  
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (propane or butane) must  
comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a  
copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protections Association,  
One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn.: Publication Sales  
Division.  
Cautions  
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved in  
this document could void your warranty for this equipment and void  
your authority to operate this equipment. Only use approved batteries,  
and chargers. The use of any unauthorized accessories may be  
dangerous and void the phone warranty if said accessories cause  
damage or a defect to the phone.  
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment  
and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.  
Body-WornOperation  
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a  
handset on your body, use the supplied or approved carrying case,  
holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn  
accessory, ensure the antenna is at least 7/16 inch (1.5 centimeters)  
from your body when transmitting. Use of non-approved accessories  
may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Website at  
www.fcc.gov.  
Section 4A:Safety  
189  
 
SpecificAbsorptionRates(SAR)forWirelessPhones  
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy  
absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.  
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring  
and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone  
emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict  
laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be  
substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a  
variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna,  
phone design and other factors. What is important to remember is that  
each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not  
represent a variation in safety.  
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a  
substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values  
between different model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR  
values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe  
for use by the public.  
The highest reported SAR values of the LX-225 are:  
AMPSmode(Part22):  
Head: 1.020 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.924 W/kg  
CDMAmode(Part22):  
Head: 0.511 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.501 W/kg  
PCSmode(Part24):  
Head: 0.996 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.539 W/kg  
FCCRadiofrequencyEmission  
This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines.  
FCC ID number: BEJLX125. More information on the phone's SAR can  
be found from the following FCC Website: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid.
