Getting to Know the Touch Screen  
WARNING: Don’t place anything heavy on the touch screen.  
Be careful not to scratch the touch screen with  
sharp objects.  
Touch key sensors are very sensitive and require  
only a light touch — you don’t need to press them  
forcefully to use them. Pressing touch keys too hard  
may damage the touch keypad.  
Do not store your phone in extreme conditions  
(places that are too humid, hot, or cold), or  
around chemicals, which may change the  
cosmetic or functional features of your phone.  
Use the tip of your finger to touch the center of a  
touch key. If you touch off-center it may activate an  
adjacent key instead.  
Turning Your Phone On and Off  
The touch screen is automatically locked when the  
backlight is off. To lock manually, press the lock  
button on the right side of the phone.  
Turning Your Phone On

WARNING: Use only Sprint-approved or LG-approved  
batteries and chargers with your phone. The

your phone will overheat, catch fire, or explode,  
resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or  
property damage.  
see the powering-down animation on the display  
screen.  
Your screen remains blank while your phone is off  
(unless the battery is charging).  
Calibrating the Touch Screen  
Sprint-approved or LG-approved batteries and  
accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or through  
LG; or you can call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They’re  
also available at www.sprint.com.  
When you first activate the phone, you will be asked to  
calibrate the touch screen to improve touch accuracy,  
based on your touch. If you don’t want this, touch Next  
Time or Never.  
Battery Capacity  
1. When the phone is turned on, touch Calibrate Now.  
2. Touch the screen to start touch calibration.  
3. Touch the target each time it appears.  
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium-Ion Polymer (Li-  
poly) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery  
before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 7  
hours of continuous digital talk time.  
17  
       
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery  
icon blinks. When there are approximately two minutes  
of talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and  
then turns off.  
WARNING: Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-poly  
battery as you can be burned.  
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate  
mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce  
the battery’s talk and standby times.  
Tip: Watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the  
battery before it runs out of power.  
Installing the Battery  
Charging the Battery  
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If  
your battery level becomes too low, your phone  
automatically turns off, and you will lose any  
information you were working on.  
Removing the Battery  
1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose  
any stored numbers or messages.  
Always use a Sprint-approved or LG-approved desktop  
charger, travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to  
charge your battery.  
2. Hold the phone securely with both hands.  
3. Place your thumb on the bottom of the phone and  
push the cover upward until it clicks out of place.  
Then, remove the battery cover.  
4. Use the opening near the top of the battery to lift  
the battery out.

(PSAPs), rendering some communications  
unintelligible. The problem encountered appears  
related to software used by PSAPs. This matter  
has been brought to the attention of the FCC,  
and the wireless industry and the PSAP

Getting Started With Data Services  
3B. Web and Data Services  
With your Sprint 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 your phone and sign up for service,  
you’re automatically assigned a user name, which is  
typically based on your name and a number, followed  
by “@sprintpcs.com.” (For example, the third John  
Smith to sign up for Sprint data services might have  
[email protected] as his user name.)  
When you use data services, your user name is  
submitted to identify you to the Nationwide Sprint  
Network. Your user name will be automatically  
programmed into your phone. You don’t have to enter it.  
108  
         
While connecting, you may see an animation and a  
“Connecting” message.  
Finding Your User Name  
If you aren’t sure what your user name is, you can  
easily find it on your phone.  
Tip: To change the default launch page to the last page you  
viewed, touch TOOLBAR > OPTIONS  
> Advanced  
Touch  
> Main Menu > (slide the screen up) >  
> Startup page and select The last page I viewed.  
Settings > Phone Info > Phone#/User ID.  
Data Connection Status and Indicators  
Updating Your User Name  
Your phone displays the current status of your data  
connection through indicators at the top of the screen.  
The following symbols are used:  
If you choose to change your user name and select a  
new one online, you must then update the user name  
on your phone.  
Touch  
> Main Menu > (slide the screen up) >  
Your phone is connected to the high-speed  
Sprint Mobile Broadband Network (EVDO).  
When the triangles are animated, data is being  
transferred (for example, when you are  
opening a Web page). When the triangles are  
white, you are connected to the network but  
data is not currently being transferred (for  
example, when you are viewing a Web page  
that is completely open). In either state, you  
can receive incoming calls.  
Settings > Data > Update Profile. (To cancel, touch

Your phone is on and is connected to the Sprint  
1xRTT data network. When the arrows are  
animated, data is being transferred (for  
example, when you are opening a Web page)  
and you cannot receive calls. When the arrows  
are white, you are connected to the network  
but data is not currently being transferred (for  
example, when you are viewing a Web page  
that is completely open) and you can receive  
calls.  
Softkeys  
During a data session, the bottom of your phone’s  
display contains one or more softkeys. These keys are  
shortcut controls for navigating around the Web.

Safety and Warranty  
Information  
 
General Precautions  
4A. Important Safety  
Information  
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone  
properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.  
To maximize performance, do not touch the bottom portion  
of your phone where the internal antenna is located while  
using the phone.  
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.  
Do not expose your phone to direct sunlight for extended  
periods of time (such as on the dashboard of a car).  
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.  
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.  
This phone guide contains important operational and  
safety information that will help you safely use your  
phone. Failure to read and follow the information  
provided in this phone guide may result in serious  
bodily injury, death, or property damage.  
Note: For the best care of your phone, only Sprint-authorized  
personnel should service your phone and accessories. Failure  
to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty.  
132  
         
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio  
frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless  
phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic  
equipment.  
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access  
to Your Phone  
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls  
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot  
guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should  
never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential  
communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls  
may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain  
network services or mobile phone features are in use. Check  
with your local service provider for details.  
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately  
shielded electronic operating systems 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.  
Using Your Phone While Driving  
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.  
Note: Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and request  
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.  
Tip: Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint  
Store, or call Sprint at 1-866-866-7509. You can also dial # 2 2 2  
on your phone.  
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying  
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.  
Following Safety Guidelines  
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.  
133  
 
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas  
Using Your Phone With a Hearing  
Aid Device  
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.  
A number of Sprint phones have been tested for hearing aid  
device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used  
with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and  
cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can  
interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device.  
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:  
Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this  
interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of  
interference noise they may generate. ANSI standard C63.19  
was developed to provide a standardized means of measuring  
both wireless phone and hearing devices to determine usability  
rating categories for both.  
Fueling areas such as gas stations.  
Below deck on boats.  
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.  
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  
Ratings have been developed for mobile phones to assist  
hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with  
their hearing device. Not all phones have been rated for  
compatibility with hearing devices. Phones that have been  
rated have a label located on the box. Your LG Rumor TouchTM  
has an M4 and a T4 rating.  
turn off your vehicle’s engine.  
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquids, or  
explosives in the compartment of your vehicle that contains  
your phone or accessories.  
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone  
These ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending  
on the user’s hearing device and individual type and degree of  
hearing loss. If a hearing device is particularly vulnerable to  
interference noise; even a phone with a higher rating may still  
cause unacceptable noise levels in the hearing device. Trying  
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 Sprint invoice.

out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to  
evaluate it for your personal needs.  
Should you experience interference or find the quality of  
service unsatisfactory after purchasing your phone, promptly  
return it to the store within 30 days of purchase. (A restocking  
fee may be applied to exchanges. Visit www.sprint.com/returns  
for details.) More information about hearing aid compatibility  
may be found at: www.fcc.gov, www.fda.gov, and  
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements for  
hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less  
interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (M4 is the  
better/higher of the two ratings.)  
www.accesswireless.org.  
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and  
are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T  
Switch”or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. (T4 is the  
better/higher of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing  
devices have telecoils in them.)  
Getting the Best Hearing Device  
Experience With Your Phone  
To further minimize interference:  
Set the phone’s display and keypad backlight settings to  
ensure the minimum time interval:  
Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to  
interference noise from wireless phones and should have  
ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare  
professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of  
your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable  
usability:  
1. Touch  
> Main Menu > Settings > Display >  
Backlight > Backlight Dim, or Backlight Off.  
2. Highlight the minimum time interval setting and touch  
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers  
excellent use.  
Done  
.
Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.  
Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.  
Position the phone so the internal antenna is farthest from  
your hearing aid.  
Move the phone around to find the point with least  
interference.  
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will  
have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.” This is  
synonymous for T ratings.  
Sprint further suggests you experiment with multiple phones  
(even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to  
find the one that works best with your hearing aid device.  
135  
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:  
Caring for the Battery  
Protecting Your Battery  
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your  
battery’s performance.  
Recently there have been some public reports of wireless  
phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It  
appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve  
counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with  
unknown or questionable manufacturing standards. Sprint is  
not aware of similar problems with Sprint phones resulting  
from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved  
by Sprint or the manufacturer of your phone. Use only Sprint-  
approved or manufacturer-approved batteries and  
accessories found at Sprint Stores or through your phone’s  
manufacturer, or call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They’re also  
available at www.sprint.com — click Accessories. Buying the  
right batteries and accessories is the best way to ensure  
they’re genuine and safe.  
Less than one month:  
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)  
More than one month:  
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)  
Disposal of Lithium-Ion Polymer (Li-poly) Batteries  
Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-poly battery as you  
can be burned.  
For safe disposal options of your Li-poly batteries, contact your  
nearest Sprint authorized service center.  
Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In  
some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business  
trash may be prohibited.  
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in  
temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).  
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy  
Understanding How Your Phone Operates  
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  
watt to 0.2 watt in digital mode.  
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.  
136  
       
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety  
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP  
standards described below.  
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless  
Phones  
The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF  
energy absorbed into the head of a user of a wireless handset.  
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  
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.  
Measurements (NCRP).  
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 LG Rumor TouchTM  
are:  
Body-Worn Operation  
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if  
you wear a handset on your body, use a Sprint-supplied or  
Sprint-approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn  
accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure  
the antenna is at least 25/32 inch (2 centimeters) from your  
body when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint-approved  
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
Cellular CDMA mode (Part 22):  
Head: 0.62 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.87 W/kg  
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website

Manufacturer’s Warranty  
4B. Manufacturer’s Warranty  
1. WHAT THIS WARRANTY COVERS:  
LG offers you a limited warranty that the enclosed  
subscriber unit and its enclosed accessories will be  
free from defects in material and workmanship,  
according to the following terms and conditions:  
Your phone has been designed to provide you with  
reliable, worry-free service. If for any reason you have a  
problem with your equipment, please refer to the  
manufacturer’s warranty in this section.  
(1) The limited warranty for the unit and enclosed  
accessories shall be a period of one (1) year from the  
date of original purchase. The remaining warranty  
period for the unit being repaired or replaced shall be  
determined by presentation of the original sales receipt  
for the purchase of the unit.  
For information regarding the terms and conditions of  
service for your phone, please visit www.sprint.com or  
call Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4727.  
(2) The limited warranty extends only to the original  
purchaser of the product and is not assignable or  
transferable to any subsequent purchaser / end user.  
Note: In addition to the warranty provided by your phone’s  
manufacturer, which is detailed on the following pages, Sprint  
offers a number of optional plans to cover your equipment for  
non-warranty claims. Sprint Total Equipment Protection  
provides the combined coverage of the Sprint Equipment  
Replacement Program and the Sprint Equipment Service  
and Repair Program, both of which are available separately.  
Each of these programs may be signed up for within 30 days  
of activating your phone. For more details, please visit your  
nearest Sprint Store or call Asurion Protection Services, LLC,  
the Sprint Total Equipment Protection administrator, at 1-800-  
584-3666.

purchaser of the product during the warranty period as  
long as it is in the U.S., including Alaska, Hawaii, U.S.  
Territories, and all Canadian Provinces.  
(4) The external housing and cosmetic parts shall be  
free of major defects at the time of shipment and,  
140  
     
therefore, shall not be covered under these limited  
warranty terms.  
(4) Alleged defects or malfunctions of the product if the  
Customer Service Department at LG was not notified  
by the consumer during the applicable limited warranty  
period.  
(5) Upon request from LG, the consumer must provide  
information satisfactory to LG to prove the date of  
purchase or exchange.  
(5) Products which have had the serial number  
removed or made illegible.  
(6) The customer shall bear the cost of shipping the  
product to the Customer Service Department of LG. LG  
shall bear the cost of shipping the product back to the  
consumer after the completion of service under this  
limited warranty.  
(6) This limited warranty is in lieu of all other warranties,  
express or implied either in fact or by operations of law,  
statutory or otherwise, including but not limited to any  
implied warranty of marketability merchantability or  
fitness for a particular use.

(7) Damage resulting from use of non-LG approved  
accessories.  
(1) Defects or damage resulting from use of the product  
in other than its normal and customary manner.  
(8) All plastic surfaces and all other externally exposed

conditions, improper storage, exposure to moisture or  
dampness, unauthorized modifications, unauthorized

other acts which are not the fault of LG, including  
damage caused by shipping, blown fuses, or spills of  
food or liquid.  
(9) Products operated outside published maximum  
ratings.  
(10) Products used or obtained in a rental program.  
(11) Consumables (such as fuses).  
(3) Breakage or damage to antennas unless caused  
directly by defects in material or workmanship.  
141  
3. WHAT LG WILL DO:  
TO THIS PRODUCT.  
LG will, at its sole option, either repair, replace or refund  
the purchase price of any unit that does not conform to  
this limited warranty. LG may choose at its option to use  
functionally equivalent re-conditioned, refurbished or  
new units or parts or any units. In addition, LG will not  
reinstall or back-up any data, applications or software  
that you have added to your phone. It is therefore  
recommended that you back-up any such data or  
information prior to sending the unit to LG to avoid the  
permanent loss of such information.  
Some states do not allow the exclusion of limitation of  
incidental or consequential damages or limitations on  
how long an implied warranty lasts; so these limitations  
or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives  
you specific legal rights and you may also have other  
rights, which vary from state to state.
