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).

FCC RF Exposure Information  
Avoid the use of accessories that cannot maintain  
0.6 inches (1.5 cm) distance between the user’s  
body and the back of the phone and have not been  
tested for compliance with FCC RF exposure limits.  
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. The design of this phone  
complies with the FCC guidelines and these  
international standards.  
Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna (Optional, if  
available)  
A minimum distance of 8 inches (20 cm) 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, visit the FCC website at  
www.fcc.gov.  
Caution  
Bodily Contact During Operation  
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 violate of FCC regulations.  
Don't use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a  
damaged antenna contacts skin, a minor burn may  
result. Contact your local dealer for a replacement  
antenna.  
This device was tested for typical use with the  
back of the phone kept 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) from the  
body. To comply with FCC RF exposure  
requirements, a minimum separation distance of  
0.6 inches (1.5 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

The Battery  
Charging the Battery  
The phone comes with a rechargeable battery.  
Keep it charged even while you’re not using it so  
that it’s ready when you need it.  
To use the charger provided with your phone:  
1. Plug one end of the AC adapter into the phone’s  
charger port and the other into an electrical  
outlet.  
NOTE  
It’s important to fully charge the battery before  
using the phone for the first time.  
2. Charge time varies depending upon the battery  
level.  
NOTE  
Battery life and signal strength are significant  
factors (among others) that affect your phone’s  
ability to send/receive calls.  
NOTICE  
Please use only an approved charging accessory to charge your  
LG phone.  
Installing the Battery  
Improper handling of the charging port, as well as the use of an  
incompatible charger, may cause damage to your phone and void  
the warranty.  
Insert the bottom of the battery into the opening on  
the back of the phone, then push the battery down  
until the latch clicks. Align the battery cover over  
the battery then slide it slightly upward until it  
clicks into place.  
NOTICE  
Triangle symbol  
should face up.  
Removing the Battery  
Turn the phone off. Slide the battery cover  
downward and remove it. Use the opening near the  
top of the battery to lift the battery out.

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.  
Antenna Care  
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:  
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement  
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or  
attachments could damage the phone and may  
violate FCC regulations.

Health Care Facilities  
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.  
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.  
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

FDA Consumer Update  
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s  
Center for Devices and Radiological Health  
Consumer Update on Mobile Phones:  
2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of  
wireless 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 energy  
(RF) in the microwave range while being used.  
They also emit very low levels of RF when in the  
Main Menu Screen. 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,  
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 energy  
(RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such  
a case, the FDA could require the manufacturers of  
wireless phones to notify users of the health  
hazard and to repair, replace, or recall the phones  
so that the hazard no longer exists.  
Although the existing scientific data do not justify  
FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the  
wireless phone industry to take a number of steps,  
including the following:

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.

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?  
G

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 energy (RF) 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.  
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  
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.  
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 energy (RF) exposures characteristic of  
wireless phones have yielded conflicting results  
that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories.  
A few animal studies, however, have suggested

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.  
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.  
5. What research is needed to decide whether RF  
exposure from wireless phones poses a health  
risk?  
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  
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  
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 energy (RF).  
The FDA has been a leading participant in the  
World Health Organization International  
populations, but 10 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  
Electromagnetic 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.  
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 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.  
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 energy (RF)  
exposures. The FCC established these guidelines in  
VX5300 89

Safety  
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 energy (RF)  
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.  
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 energy (RF). 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  
90 VX5300  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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.  
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?  
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 energy (RF), 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.  
Radio Frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones  
can interact with some electronic devices. For this  
reason, the FDA helped develop a detailed test  
method to measure electromagnetic 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  
VX5300 91

Safety  
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.

10 Driver Safety Tips  
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability  
to communicate by voice almost anywhere,  
anytime. An important responsibility accompanies  
the benefits of wireless phones, one that every  
user must uphold.  
When operating a car, driving is your first  
responsibility. When using your wireless phone  
behind the wheel of a car, practice good common  
sense and remember the following tips:  
3. Make sure you place your wireless phone  
within easy reach and where you can reach it  
without removing your eyes from the road. If  
you get an incoming call at an inconvenient  
time, if possible, let your voicemail answer it  
for you.  
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.  
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. Don't take notes or look up phone numbers  
while driving. If you are reading an address

where you are going. It's 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.  
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's a free call  
on your wireless phone!  
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  
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.  
simple tip -- dial only a few numbers, check the  
road and your mirrors, then continue.  
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,

necessary. Certain situations you encounter  
while driving may require 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

Before a phone model is available for sale to the  
public, it must be tested and certified by 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 1.27 W/kg and when  
worn on the body, as described in this user guide,  
is 0.731 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

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.  
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.  
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing
