⽧ Understanding Roaming
⽧ Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
⽧ Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off
the Nationwide your wireless Network.Your new dual band/
tri-mode VI-125 by LG works anywhere on the Nationwide
your wireless Network and allows you to roam on other
analog and 1900 and 800 MHz digital networks where we’ve
implemented roaming agreements with other carriers.
This section explains how roaming works as well as special
features that let you manage your roaming experience.

Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re
off the Nationwide your wireless Network. Any time you are
roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon (
). If you are
roaming on an analog system, the roaming icon will display
along with the text – Analog Roam – .
Tip:

Remember, when you are using your phone off the
Nationwide your wireless Network, always dial numbers
using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).

Note:

Unless your wireless service Plan includes roaming, you will
pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Roaming

Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality
and security will be similar to the quality you receive when
making calls on the Nationwide your wireless Network.
However, you may not be able to access certain features, such
as your wireless Vision.
Note:

If you’re on a call when you leave the Nationwide your
wireless Network and enter an area where roaming is
available ,
your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area
where you think your wireless Service is available, turn your
phone off and on again to reconnect to the Nationwide
your wireless Network.

Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a
similar quality provided by other analog carriers today.
Although some features, such as your wireless Vision and
your wireless Voice Command, will be unavailable, you can
still make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are
accustomed to your wireless Service, you may notice some of
the following differences when using analog service:
䢇

You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk,
fade-out, and dropped calls.

䢇

Some features which are standard on the enhanced
Nationwide your wireless Network, such as call waiting,
your wireless Vision, and direct international dialing, are
unavailable.

䢇

Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you
are roaming, you will not receive notification until you
return to the Nationwide your wireless Network. (See
“Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming”on
page 69.)

䢇

There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and
cloning) that exist with conventional analog services
today.

䢇

Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you
will need to recharge it more often when you use your
phone for analog roaming.

Note:

When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel
warm. This is normal for analog operation.

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the Nationwide your wireless
Network, you will not receive on-phone notification of new
voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you
will need to periodically check your voicemail for new
messages if you are in a roaming service area for an extended
period of time.
To check your voicemail while roaming:

Getting the Most Out of Your Reception
Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal strength
in your area. Your phone informs you of the current signal strength by
displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength icon. The more bars
displayed, the stronger the signal. If you’re inside a building, being near a
window may give you better reception.

Understanding the Power Save Feature
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a
Power Save feature is automatically activated. If your phone is active, it
periodically rechecks service availability; you can also check it yourself by
pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a message is
displayed on the screen. When a signal is found, your phone returns to
standby mode.

Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned
on, it receives and transmits Radio Frequency (RF) signals. When you use
your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level. This
power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.

Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards described
below.
In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s
1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF
signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from
universities, government health agencies and industries developed this
updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993,
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated
standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard
consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published
by the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).

Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and
maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
䢇

For optional call performance, please do not obstruct the internal
antenna.

䢇

Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.

䢇

Speak directly into the mouthpiece.

䢇

Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If
your phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove
the battery.

Note:

For the best care of your phone, only Sprint authorized personnel
should service your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void
the warranty.

Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to
Your Phone
Safety

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE

Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a
hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to
specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first.

Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special
regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is
forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.

Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from Radio Frequency (RF)
signals. However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately
shielded electronic equipment.

Section 4A: Safety

161

LG LX-125_VNO (1.0).qxd

2/20/06

Page 162

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic operating systems and/or entertainment systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to determine
if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also
check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been
added to your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as
pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded
from external RF signals.

Note:

Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request
permission before using the phone near medical equipment.

Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible
interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to
use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of
interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is
in the air.

Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a
blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating two-way radios should
be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to
set off explosives.
Turn your phone off when you're in any area that has a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Although it's rare, your phone and accessories could generate
sparks. Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or
even death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include:

162

䢇

Fueling areas such as gas stations.

䢇

Below deck on boats.

䢇

Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.

䢇

Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust,
or metal powders.

䢇

Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle’s engine.

Section 4A: Safety

LG LX-125_VNO (1.0).qxd

Note:

Page 163

Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.

Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they could
hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls that increase
Your wireless Invoice.

Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s
performance.
Use only approved batteries and desktop chargers. These chargers are
designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or chargers
voids your warranty and may cause damage.

䢇

In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that
range from 32º F to 113º F (0º C to 45º C).

䢇

Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity
areas, such as the bathroom.

䢇

Never dispose of the battery by incineration.

䢇

Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.

䢇

Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.

䢇

The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period
of time.

䢇

It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable
performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs
replacing.

䢇

Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of
time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:

Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries
For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your nearest
authorized service center.

Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas,
the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may
be prohibited.
Note:

For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery.

Using Your Phone With a
Hearing Aid Device
Your wireless Phone has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility.
When 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 ratings for some of their
mobile phones, to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be
compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated.
Phones that are rated will have the rating on the box. The VI-125 by LG has
an M3 rating.

Note:

Note: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and may
generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not
labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.

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 successfully use a phone
that has been tested and rated as Hearing Aid compatible. Trying the phone
with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal
needs. Should you experience interference when using your LX-125 with
your hearing device, it is suggested that you promptly return the phone to

164

Section 4A: Safety

the store. It is further suggested you experiment with multiple phones
(even those not labeled with an M3 or M4) while in the retail store to find
the one that works best with your hearing device
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of
interference. Your hearing aid device manufacturer or hearing health
professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more
immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience
interference noise from wireless phones.

Getting the BestHearing Device Experience with
Your LX125 by LG
One way to minimize interference is to set the phone’s Display and Keypad
backlight settings to ensure the minimum time interval.
To ensure the minimum interference from your Main Display’s backlight,
follow these steps:
1. Press Menu (left softkey) to access the main menu.
2. Select Settings

3. Scroll to Display and press
4. Scroll to Backlight and press

.
.

OK
OK

6. Select the minimum time interval setting (8 seconds or Always off) and
press OK .
To ensure the minimum interference from the Keypad backlight, follow
these steps:
1. From step 5 above, select Keypad and press

2. Select the minimum time interval setting (8 seconds or Always off)
and press OK .

Acknowledging Special Precautions and
the FCC Notice
FCC Notice
This phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity to
receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop using the phone if
such interference cannot be eliminated.
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (propane or butane) must comply
with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this
standard, contact the National Fire Protections Association, One
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn.: Publication Sales Division.

Cautions
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved in this
document could void your warranty for this equipment and void your
authority to operate this equipment. Only use approved batteries, and
chargers. The use of any unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and
void the phone warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect to the
phone.
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and
can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.

Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a
handset on your body, use the supplied or approved carrying case, holster or
other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure
the antenna is at least 7/16 inch (1.5 centimeters) from your body when

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy
absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring
and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone
emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory
settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially
less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors
including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other
factors. What is important to remember is that each phone meets strict
federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a
substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values
between different model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR
values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for
use by the public.
The highest reported SAR values of the VI-125 are:

Safety

AMPS mode (Part 22):
Head: 1.020 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.924 W/kg
CDMA mode (Part 22):
Head: 0.511 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.501 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24):
Head: 0.996 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.539 W/kg

FCC Radiofrequency Emission
This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines.
FCC ID number: BEJLX125. More information on the phone's SAR can be
found from the following FCC Website: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid.
