Any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this user's guide could void your warranty for this equipment.
Safety Information Read these simple guidelines. Breaking the rules may be illegal or dangerous. More detailed information is provided in this user's guide. • Never use an unapproved battery that could cause damages to the phone or the battery itself, or even explode. • Never place your phone in a microwave oven, as this will result in an explosion of the battery. • Do not dispose of your battery in fire or with hazardous or flammable materials.
• • • • • • • • • • • 6 Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting, pulling, or heating it. Do not use the plug if it is loose as it may cause fire or electric shock.

Do not make or answer calls while charging the phone, which can cause a short circuit, electric shock, or fire. Use only batteries and chargers provided by LG.
Information about the RF exposure from FCC 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 96-502, 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 international and U.S. standards.
FCC Part 15.21 statement Changes or Modifications that are not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. FCC Part 15.105 statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
Adapter Precautions (Charger) • • • Using the wrong battery charger could damage your phone and void your warranty. The adapter or battery charger is only designed for indoor use. Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct sunlight, or use it in places with high humidity, such as the bathroom. Cautions for Battery • • • • • • • • • • • Do not disassemble or open crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred.
• Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to save unnecessary power consumption of the charger. Avoid damage to your ear • • 10 Damage to your hear can occur due to constant exposure to excessive high sound. We, therefore, recommend that you do not turn on or off the phone near your ear. We also recommend you be reasonable with the music and volume level.
Safety instructions TIA's Safety Information This includes complete security information on wireless phones from TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association). It's required, for CTIA Certification, the inclusion in the user manual of text covering pacemakers, hearing aids and other medical devices. It's encouraged the use of the remaining TIA language when relevant. Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a lowpower radio transmitter and receiver.
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. Suggestions for a more efficient operation For your phone to operate most efficiently: • Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily, when the phone is in use.
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. Pacemaker The Medical Industry Manufacturers Association recommends a minimum distance of fifteen (15) centimeters, or six (6) inches, between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker, in order to avoid potential interference between them.
Health Care Facilities Turn off your phone in health care facilities, whenever there are signs asking you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy. Vehicles RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded devices in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer, or its representative, regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer about any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere Turn off the phone when in an area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire that could result in personal injury or death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often clearly marked, but not always.
Charger, Adapter and Battery Security • • • • • • • • • • • The charger and adapter are designed only for indoor use. Dispose of your battery properly, or bring it to your wireless provider for recycling. The battery doesn't need to be fully discharged before recharging.
