Safety
TIA(Telecommunications
Industry Association)
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 it
is ON, it receives and also 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:
t"/4*$
t/$313FQPSU
t*$/*31
t)FBMUI$BOBEB4BGFUZ$PEF
1999.
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, IC
Regulations (and those standards).
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an
approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorised antennas,
modifications, or attachments could
damage the phone and may violate
FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
/03."-104*5*0/)PMEUIFQIPOF
as you would any other telephone
with the antenna pointed up and
over your shoulder.
5
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most
efficiently:
Do not 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.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on
the use of wireless phones in the
areas where you drive and always
obey them. Also, if using your
phone while driving, please observe
the following:
t Give full attention to driving
-- driving safely is your first
responsibility;
t Use hands-free operation.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment
is shielded from RF signals.
)PXFWFSDFSUBJOFMFDUSPOJD
equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your
wireless phone.
Pacemakers
5IF)FBMUI*OEVTUSZ.BOVGBDUVSFST
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:
t Should ALWAYS keep the phone
more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is
turned ON;
t Should not carry the phone in a
breast pocket;
t Should use the ear opposite
the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference;
t Should turn the phone OFF
immediately if there is any reason
to suspect that interference is
taking place.
6
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.) Optional for each
phone manufacturer.
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
UPEPTP)PTQJUBMTPSIFBMUIDBSF
facilities may use equipment that
could be sensitive to external RF
energy.
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 and Transport Canada
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.
Safety
7
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.
Charger and Adapter
Safety
t The charger and adapter are
intended for indoor use only.
t Do not expose the battery charger
or adapter to direct sunlight
or use it in places with high
humidity, such as a bathroom.
Battery Information and
Care
t Please dispose of your battery
properly or take it to your local
wireless carrier for recycling.
t Do not dispose of your battery
by fire or with hazardous or
flammable materials.
t Never use an unapproved battery
since this could damage the
8
Safety
phone and/or battery and could
cause the battery to explode.
t The battery does not need
to be fully discharged before
recharging.
t Use only LG-approved chargers
specific to your phone model
since they are designed to
maximize battery life.
t Do not disassemble or shortcircuit
the battery.
t Keep the battery’s metal contacts
clean.
t Replace the battery when it
no longer provides acceptable
performance. The battery can be
recharged several hundred times
before replacement.
t Recharge the battery after long
periods of non-use to maximize
battery life.
t Battery life will vary due to usage
patterns and environmental
conditions.
t Use of extended backlighting,
MiniBrowser, and data
connectivity kits affect battery life
and talk/standby times.
Safety Information
Please read and observe the
following information for safe and
proper use of your phone and to
prevent damage. Also, keep the
user’s guide in an accessible place
at all the times after reading it.
Explosion, Shock, and
Fire Hazards
t Unplug the power cord and
charger during lightning storms to
avoid electric shock or fire.
t Make sure that no sharp-edged
items such as animal’s teeth,
nails, come into contact with the
battery. There is a risk of this
causing a fire.
t Do not use harsh chemicals(such
as alcohol, benzene, thinners,
etc.) or detergents to clean your

Warning! Important Safety
Information
Avoiding hearing damage
Permanent hearing loss may
occur if you use your phone and/
or headset at a high volume. Set
the volume to a safe level. You can
adapt over time to a higher volume
of sound that may sound normal
but can be damaging to your
hearing. If you experience ringing in
your ears or muffled speech, stop
listening and have your hearing
checked. The louder the volume,
the less time is required before your
IFBSJOHDPVMECFBGGFDUFE)FBSJOH
experts suggest that to protect your
hearing:
t Limit the amount of time you use
your phone and/or headset at
high volume.
t Avoid turning up the volume to
block out noisy surroundings.
t Turn the volume down if you can’t
hear people speaking near you.
For information about how to set
a maximum volume limit on your
phone, see the features guide for
your phone.
Using your phone safely
Use of your phone while operating
a vehicle is not recommended and
is illegal in some areas. Be careful
and attentive while driving.
Stop using your phone if you find
it disruptive or distracting while
operating any type of vehicle or
performing any other activity that
requires your full attention.
FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration’s Center for Devices
BOE3BEJPMPHJDBM)FBMUI$POTVNFS
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 radiofrequency
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
12
Safety
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.
2. What is the FDAs role
concerning the safety of
wireless phones?
Under the law, the FDA does
not review the safety of
radiationemitting consumer
products such as wireless phones
before they can be sold, as it does
with new drugs or medical devices.
)PXFWFSUIFBHFODZIBTBVUIPSJUZ
to take action if wireless phones
are shown to emit radiofrequency
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:
t Support needed research into
possible biological effects of RF
of the type emitted by wireless
phones.
t 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 different aspects of RF safety to
ensure coordinated efforts at the
federal level. The following agencies
belong to this working group:
t National Institute for Occupational
4BGFUZBOE)FBMUI
t Environmental Protection Agency.
13
t 0DDVQBUJPOBM4BGFUZBOE)FBMUI
Administration.
t National Telecommunications and
Information Administration.
5IF/BUJPOBM*OTUJUVUFTPG)FBMUI
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.
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
radiofrequency 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.
14
Safety
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 radiofrequency 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 that low levels of RF
could accelerate the development
of cancer in laboratory animals.
)PXFWFSNBOZPGUIFTUVEJFT
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.
)PXFWFSOPOFPGUIFTUVEJFTDBO
answer questions about long-term
exposures, since the average period
of phone use in these studies was
around three years.
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
DPNQMFUFEJOBGFXZFBST)PXFWFS
very large numbers of animals
would be needed to provide reliable
proof of a cancer promoting effect if
one exists. Epidemiological studies
15
can provide data that is directly
applicable to human 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
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 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
)FBMUI0SHBOJ[BUJPO*OUFSOBUJPOBM
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.
16
Safety
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 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.
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
3BUF4"3JOUIF)VNBO#PEZ
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
17
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
do 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 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
18
Safety
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 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 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.

SAR (Specific Absorption
Rate)
This Model Phone Meets the
Government’s Requirements
for Exposure to Radio Waves.
Your wireless phone is a radio
transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not
to exceed the emission limits
for exposure to radio frequency
(RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the
U.S. Government. These limits are
part of comprehensive guidelines
and establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population.
The guidelines are based on
standards that were developed by
independent scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The
standards include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless
of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless
mobile phones employs a unit
of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC/IC
JT8LH5FTUTGPS4"3BSF
conducted using standard operating
positions specified by the FCC with
the phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although SAR is
determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level
of the phone while operating can
be well below the maximum value.
Because the phone is designed to
operate at multiple power levels
to use only the power required to
reach the network, in general, the
closer you are to a wireless base
20
Safety
station antenna, the lower the
power output.
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 0.836 W/kg and when
worn on the body, as described
in this user guide, is 0.646 W/kg
(body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending
upon available accessories and
FCC/IC 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 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: XXXXXXX. Additional
information on Specific Absorption
Rates (SAR) can be found on
the Cellular Telecommunications
Industry Association (CTIA) website
at http://www.ctia.org/
*OUIF6OJUFE4UBUFTBOE$BOBEB
the SAR limit for mobile phones
used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg
(W/kg) averaged over one gram of
tissue. The standard incorporates
a substantial margin of safety to
give additional protection for the
public and to account for any
variations in measurements.
