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.
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:
Safety instructions
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
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).
* American National Standards Institute;
National Council on Radiation Protection
and Measurements; International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection.
The design of your phone complies with the
FCC guidelines (and those standards).
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. The contact with
the antenna affects call quality, and may
cause the phone to operate at a higher
power level than otherwise would be need.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations related to
the use of wireless phones in the areas
where you drive. Always obey these
regulations. Also, if using your phone while
driving, make sure to:
• Pay full attention to driving; driving safely
is your first responsibility;
• Use hands-free operation, if available;
• Pull off the road and park, before making
or answering a call, if driving conditions
demand so.
Safety instructions
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.
These advices are consistent with
independent researches, and with
recommendations based on wireless
technology research.
People with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the phone at least fifteen
centimeters (six inches) from their
pacemaker, whenever the phone is turned
on;
• Not carry the phone in a shirt pocket;
• Use the ear opposite to the pacemaker, to
minimize the potential interference;
• If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, switch off your
phone immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere
with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, we recommend that you
contact your service provider.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical
devices, consult your device manufacturer
to determine if they are adequately shielded
from external RF energy. Your doctor can
help you obtain this information.
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.
Safety instructions
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.
Facilities with signs
Turn off the phone in any facility where
warning signs request you to do so.
Airplanes
FCC regulations prohibit the use of phones
while in the air. Turn off your phone before
boarding an airplane.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations,
turn your phone off when in a 'blasting
area' or in areas with signs that read: 'Turn
off two-way radios' . Obey all signs and
instructions.
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. Among the potentially dangerous
areas are:
Fueling areas (such as gas stations), areas
below deck on boats, facilities where
chemical products are transferred or stored,
vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (as
propane or butane), areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles (such as
grain, dust or metal powders), and any other
areas where you would normally be advised
to turn off your vehicle engine.
Safety instructions
For vehicles equipped with air
bags
Air bags inflate with strong force. Do not
place objects in the area over the air bag or
in its deployment area, including wireless
equipment, either installed or portable.
Serious injuries could occur if wireless
equipment is improperly installed into the car
when the air bag inflates.
Safety Information
Read and observe the following information
for the safe and proper use of your phone,
and to prevent any damage.
Also, keep the user's guide in an accessible
place at all times after reading it.
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.
• Only use LG approved chargers that are
specifically made for your phone model,
since they are designed to maximize the
battery life.
• Do not disassemble or short-circuit it.
• Keep the metal contacts on the battery
clean.
• Replace the battery when it no longer
provides acceptable performance. The
battery can be recharged several hundred
times before replacement.
• Charge the battery after long periods
without use to maximize its life.
• The battery life will vary depending
on usage patterns and environmental
conditions.
• Intensive use of backlighting, browser, and
packet data connectivity affect battery life
and talk/standby times.
• The role of self-protection interrupts
the phone when its operation is in an
abnormal state. In this case, remove the
battery from the phone, reinstall it, and
turn on the phone.
Safety instructions
Explosion, Shock and Fire
Danger
• Do not place the phone in a place exposed
to excessive dust, and keep the minimum
required distance between the power cord
and heat sources.
• Unplug the power cord before cleaning
the phone, and clean the power plug
whenever it is dirty.
• When using the power plug, make sure
it is firmly connected. Otherwise, it can
overheat or start a fire.
• Placing the phone in a pocket or bag
without covering the receptacle (power
plug pin), metallic articles (such as a coin,
clip or pen) may short-circuit the phone.
Always cover the receptacle when not
in use.
• Do not short-circuit the battery. Metal
items, such as coins, paper clips, or
pens, in your pocket or bag may cause a
shortcircuit between the + and - terminals
of the battery (metal strips on the
battery). The short-circuit of the terminals
may damage the battery and cause an
explosion.
General Notice
• Using a damaged battery, or inserting it
into the mouth can cause serious injuries.
• Do not place the phone in proximity to
items containing magnetic components,
such as credit cards, calling cards, bank
books, or subway tickets. The phone
magnetism may damage the data stored
in the magnetic strip.
• Talking on the phone for a long period of
time may reduce call quality, because of
the heat generated during use.
• When the phone has not been in use for a
long time, store it in a safe place, with the
power cord unplugged.
• Using the phone close to a receiving
equipment (such as TV or radio) may
cause interference.
• Do not use the phone if the antenna is
damaged. If a damaged antenna contacts
skin, it may cause a slight singe. Contact
an LG Authorized Service Facility to
replace the damaged antenna.
• Do not immerse your phone in water. If
this happens, immediately turn it off and
Safety instructions
remove the battery. If your phone does not
work, take it to an LG Authorized Service
Facility.
• The power supply contains elements
that could be harmful to your health, if
components are handled directly. If this
happens, we recommend immediate
hand-washing.
• Do not paint the phone.
• Data stored in your phone might be
deleted due to careless use, hardware
repair or software upgrade.
Please backup your important phone
numbers (ringtones, text or voice
messages, images, and videos might also
