SAFETY
TIA 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 ON, it receives and 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:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
* American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection
and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
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 (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.
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
Don’t 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:
●
Give 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 or
the law require it.
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.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers 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:
●
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six (6) inches from their pacemaker
when the phone is turned ON;
●
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket;
●
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to
minimize the potential for interference;
●
Should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.

SAFETY
SAFETY
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).
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 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
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 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.
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.
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 guide in an accessible place at all
times after reading it.
CCaauuttiioonn!!Violation of the instructions may cause minor or serious
damage to the product.
Charger and Adapter Safety
●
The charger and adapter are intended for indoor use only.
●
Insert the battery pack charger vertically into the wall power socket.
●
Use the correct adaptor for your phone when using the battery pack charger
abroad.
●
Only use the approved battery charger. Otherwise, you may cause serious damage
to your phone.
Battery Information and Care
●Please dispose of your battery properly or take it to your local wireless carrier for
recycling.
●
The battery doesn't need to be empty before recharging.
●Use only LG-approved chargers specific to your phone model since they are designed
to maximize battery life.
●Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
●Keep the battery’s metal contacts clean.
●Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. The battery
can be recharged several hundred times before replacement.
●Recharge the battery after long periods of non-use to maximize battery life.
●Battery life will vary due to usage patterns and environmental conditions.
●
Use of extended backlighting, Browser, and data connectivity kits affect battery life and
talk/standby times.
●The self-protection function of the battery cuts the power of the phone when its
operation is in an abnormal state. In this case, remove the battery from the phone,
reinstall it, and turn the phone on.
Explosion, Shock, and Fire Hazards
●Do not put your phone in a place subject to excessive dust and keep the minimum
required distance between the power cord and heat sources.
●Unplug the power cord prior to cleaning your phone, and clean the power plug pin
when it’s dirty.
●When using the power plug, ensure that it’s firmly connected. If not, it may cause
excessive heat or fire.
●If you put your phone in a pocket or bag without covering the receptacle of the
phone (power plug pin), metallic articles (such as a coin, paperclip or pen) may short-
circuit the phone. Always cover the receptacle when not in use.
●Don’t short-circuit the battery. Metallic articles such as a coin, paperclip or pen in your
pocket or bag may short-circuit the + and – terminals of the battery (metal strips on
the battery) upon moving. Short-circuit of the terminal may damage the battery and
cause an explosion.
●Do not disassemble or crush the battery. It may cause a fire.
General Notice
●Using a damaged battery or placing a battery in your mouth may cause serious injury.
●Do not place items containing magnetic components such as a credit card, phone
card, bank book or subway ticket near your phone. The magnetism of the phone may
damage the data stored in the magnetic strip.
●Talking on your phone for a long period of time may reduce call quality due to heat
generated during use.
●When the phone is not used for a long period time, store it in a safe place with the
power cord unplugged.
●Using the phone in proximity to receiving equipment (i.e., TV or radio) may cause
interference to the phone.
●Do not use the phone if the antenna is damaged. If a damaged antenna contacts skin,
it may cause a slight burn. Please contact an LG Authorized Service Center to replace
the damaged antenna.
●Do not immerse your phone in water. If this happens, turn it off immediately and
remove the battery. If the phone does not work, take it to an LG Authorized Service
Center.
●Do not paint your phone.
●The data saved in your phone might be deleted due to careless use, repair of the
phone, or upgrade of the software. Please backup your important phone numbers. The
manufacturer is not liable for damage due to the loss of data.
●When you use the phone in public places, set the ring tone to vibration so as not to
disturb others.
●Do not turn your phone on or off when putting it to your ear.
●Use accessories, such as earphones and headsets, with caution. Ensure
that cables are tucked away safely and do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily.
Avoid damage to your hearing
Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed to loud sound for long periods of
time. We therefore recommend that you do not turn on or off the handset close to your
ear. We also recommend that call volumes are set to a reasonable level.

SAFETY
FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health
Consumer 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 Radio Frequency (RF)
energy in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF
when in standby mode. 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, other researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or
in determining the reasons for inconsistent results.
2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones?
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 (RF) energy 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:
●
Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type emitted
by wireless phones;
●
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:
●
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
●
Environmental Protection Agency
●
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
●
National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health 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 Radio Frequency (RF) energy 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.
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 (RF) energy exposures characteristic of wireless phones
have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories. A
SAFETY
24
SAFETY
few animal studies, however, have suggested 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 do not 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. 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.
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 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 populations, but ten 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 (RF) energy.
The FDA has been a leading participant in the World Health Organization
International Electro Magnetic 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.
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 (RF) energy 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 phones 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 (RF) energy 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
25
SAFETY
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
(RF) energy. 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 (RF) energy, 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. 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 (RF) energy from wireless phones can interact with some electronic
devices. For this reason, the FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure
Electro Magnetic 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.

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:
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.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. A number of hands-free wireless phone
accessories are readily available today. Whether you choose an installed mounted
device for your wireless phone or a speaker phone accessory, take advantage of
these devices if available to you.
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.
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 book or business card, or writing a “to-do” list while driving a car, you are
not watching where you are going. It is common sense. Do not get caught in a
dangerous situation because you are reading or writing and not paying attention
to the road or nearby vehicles.
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
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, 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!
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.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance number
when 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 other special non-emergency wireless number.
The above tips are meant as general guidelines. Before deciding to use your mobile
device while operating a vehicle, it is recommended that you consult your applicable
jurisdiction’s local laws or other regulations regarding such use. Such laws or other
regulations may prohibit or otherwise restrict the manner in which a driver may use
his or her phone while operating a vehicle.

LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT
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.
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.
The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for wireless phones, to assist hearing device
users find phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated.
Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label located on the box.
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.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may
help you find this rating. Higher ratings mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to interference
noise. The hearing aid and wireless phone rating values are then added together. A sum of 5 is considered
acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered for best use.
In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless phone meets the M3 level
rating, the sum of the two values equal M5. This should provide the hearing aid user with “normal usage”
while using their hearing aid with the particular wireless phone. “Normal usage” in this context is defined
as a signal quality that is acceptable for normal operation.
The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T mark is intended to be synonymous
with the UT mark. The M and T marks are recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications
Industries Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules. The
HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
C63.19 standard.
When you're talking over the cell phone, it's recommended you'd turn the BT mode off for HAC.
