Consumer Information
About Radio
Frequency Emissions
Your wireless phone, which contains a
radio transmitter and receiver, emits
radio frequency energy during use.
The following consumer information
addresses commonly asked questions
about the health effects of wireless
phones.
LG-VS880_VZW_PSWG_V1.1_140710.indd 12 14. 7. 10. 10:37

Are wireless phones safe?
Scientific research on the subject of wireless phones
and radio frequency (“RF”) energy has been conducted
worldwide for many years, and continues. In the United
States, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and
the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) set
policies and procedures for wireless phones. The FDA
issued a website publication on health issues related
to cell phone usage where it states, “The scientific
community at large … believes that the weight
of scientific evidence does not show an association
between exposure to radiofrequency (RF) from cell
phones and adverse health outcomes. Still the scientific
community does recommend conducting additional
research to address gaps in knowledge. That research
is being conducted around the world and the FDA
continues to monitor developments in this field. You
can access the joint FDA/FCC website at http://www.
fda.gov (under “c”in the subject index, select Cell
Phones > Research). You can also contact the FDA
toll-free at (888) 463-6332 or (888) INFO-FDA. In June
2000, the FDA entered into a cooperative research and
development agreement through which additional
scientific research is being conducted. The FCC issued
its own website publication stating that “there is no
scientific evidence that proves that wireless phone
usage can lead to cancer or a variety of other problems,
including headaches, dizziness or memory loss.” This
LG-VS880_VZW_PSWG_V1.1_140710.indd 13 14. 7. 10. 10:37

publication is available at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/
cellular.html or through the FCC at (888) 225-5322 or
(888) CALL-FCC.
What does “SAR” mean?
In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, and other agencies,
established RF exposure safety guidelines for wireless
phones in the United States. Before a wireless phone
model is available for sale to the public, it must be
tested by the manufacturer and certified by the FCC that
it does not exceed limits established by the FCC. One of
these limits is expressed as a Specific Absorption Rate,
or “SAR.” SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption
of RF energy in the body. Tests for SAR are conducted
with the phone transmitting at its highest power level
in all tested frequency bands. Since 1996, the FCC has
required that the SAR of handheld wireless phones
not exceed 1.6 watts per kilogram, averaged over one
gram of tissue.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest power
level, the actual SAR value of a wireless phone while
operating can be less than the reported SAR value.
This is because the SAR value may vary from call
to call, depending on factors such as proximity to
a cell site, the proximity of the phone to the body
while in use, and the use of hands-free devices. For
more information about SARs, see the FCC’s OET

cfm/AID/10371. You may also wish to contact the
manufacturer of your phone.
Can I minimize my RF exposure?
If you are concerned about RF, there are several simple
steps you can take to minimize your RF exposure. You
can, of course, reduce your talk time. You can place
more distance between your body and the source of
the RF, as the exposure level drops off dramatically with
distance. The FDA/FCC website states that “hands-free
kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience
and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of
RF energy in the head because the phone, which is the
source of the RF emissions, will not be placed against
the head. On the other hand, if the phone is mounted
against the waist or other part of the body during use,
then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy.
Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are required to
meet safety requirements regardless of whether they
are used against the head or against the body. Either
configuration should result in compliance with the
safety limit.” Also, if you use your wireless phone while
in a car, you can use a phone with an antenna on the
outside of the vehicle. You should also read and follow
LG-VS880_VZW_PSWG_V1.1_140710.indd 15 14. 7. 10. 10:37
16
your wireless phone manufacturer’s instructions for the
safe operation of your phone.
Do wireless phones pose any special risks
to children?
The FDA/FCC website states that “the scientific
evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless
communication devices, including children.” The FDA/
FCC website further states that “some groups sponsored
by other national governments have advised that
children be discouraged from using wireless phones at
all”. For example, the Stewart Report from the United
Kingdom [“UK”] made such a recommendation in
December 2000. In this report a group of independent
experts noted that no evidence exists that using a cell
phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. [The
UK’s] recommendation to limit cell phone use by
children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on
scientific evidence that any health hazard exists. A copy
of the UK’s leaflet is available at http://www.dh.gov.uk
(search “mobile”), or you can write to: NRPB, Chilton,
Didcot, Oxon OX11 ORQ, United Kingdom. Copies of
the UK’s annual reports on mobile phones and RF are
available online at www.iegmp.org.uk and http://
www.hpa.org.uk/radiation/ (search “mobile”). Parents
who wish to reduce their children’s RF exposure may
choose to restrict their children’s wireless phone use.

Consumer
Information on 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 is
1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are 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
LG-VS880_VZW_PSWG_V1.1_140710.indd 20 14. 7. 10. 10:37
21
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 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 values are:
* Head: 0.48 W/kg
* Body (Body-worn/Hotspot): 1.01 W/kg
(body 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 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 ZNFVS880. Additional information on Specific
LG-VS880_VZW_PSWG_V1.1_140710.indd 21 14. 7. 10. 10:37
22
Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA)
website at http://www.ctia.org/.
* In the United States and Canada, 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.
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
LG-VS880_VZW_PSWG_V1.1_140710.indd 22 14. 7. 10. 10:37
23
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 to 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.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements
and are likely to generate less interference to hearing
devices than phones that are not labeled. T4 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
LG-VS880_VZW_PSWG_V1.1_140710.indd 23 14. 7. 10. 10:37
24
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’s 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.
To ensure that the Hearing Aid Compatibility rating for
your phone is maintained, secondary transmitters such
as Bluetooth and WLAN components must be disabled
during a call.

Caution:
Avoid potential
hearing loss.
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music)
is the most common cause of preventable hearing
loss. Some scientific research suggests that using
portable audio devices, such as portable music players
LG-VS880_VZW_PSWG_V1.1_140710.indd 25 14. 7. 10. 10:37
26
and cellular telephones, at high volume settings for
long durations may lead to permanent noise-induced
hearing loss. This includes the use of headphones
(including headsets, earbuds and Bluetooth® or other
wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also
been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing
in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound and distorted
hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced
hearing loss and other potential hearing problems
varies.
The amount of sound produced by a portable audio
device varies depending on the nature of the sound, the
device, the device settings and the headphones. You
should follow some commonsense recommendations
when using any portable audio device:
• Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the
lowest volume at which you can hear adequately.
• When using headphones, turn the volume down if
you cannot hear the people speaking near you or if
the person sitting next to you can hear what you are
listening to.
• Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy
surroundings. If you choose to listen to your portable
device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling
headphones to block out background environmental
noise.
LG-VS880_VZW_PSWG_V1.1_140710.indd 26 14. 7. 10. 10:37
27
• Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume
increases, less time is required before your hearing
could be affected.
• Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely
loud noises, such as concerts, that might cause
temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss
might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.
• Do not listen at any volume that causes you
discomfort. If you experience ringing in your ears,
hear muffled speech or experience any temporary
hearing difficulty after listening to your portable
audio device, discontinue use and consult your
doctor.
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.
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.
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
LG-VS880_VZW_PSWG_V1.1_140710.indd 31 14. 7. 10. 10:37
32
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.
