Important Information
This user’s guide provides
important information on the use
and operation of your phone.
Please read this guide carefully
prior to using the phone to be able
to use your phone to its greatest
advantage and to prevent any
accidental damage or misuse. Any
unapproved changes or
modifications will void your
warranty.
Technical Details
The
LG Octane
TM
is an all digital
phone that operates on both Code
Division Multiple Access (CDMA)
frequencies: cellular services at
800 MHz and Personal
Communication Services (PCS) at
1.9 GHz.
CDMA technology uses a feature
called DSSS (Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum) that enables the
phone to keep communication
from being crossed and to use one
frequency channel by multiple
users in the same specific area.
This results in a 10-fold capacity
increase when compared with
analog mode. In addition, features
such as soft/softer handoff, hard
handoff, and dynamic RF power
control technologies combine to
reduce call interruptions.
The Cellular and PCS CDMA
networks consist of MSO (Mobile
Switching Office), BSC (Base
Station Controller), BTS (Base
Station Transmission System), and
MS (Mobile Station).
1xRTT system receives twice as
many subscribers in the wireless
section as IS-95. Its battery life is
twice as long as IS-95. High-speed
data transmission is also possible.
EV-DO system is optimized for
data service and is much faster
than 1xRTT system in applicable
area.
The table on the following page
lists some major CDMA standards.

voice command(s).
NOTE
Voice Commands can also be
started with the designated key

Please check the manual of the
Bluetooth®device for further
instructions.
1. Call <Name or Number>
Say "Call" and then call someone
simply by saying the phone
number or name. Please speak
clearly and exactly as entered in
your Contacts list. When you have
more than one contact number,
you can state the name and
number type for the contact (for
example, 'Call John Work').
2. Send Msg to <Name or
Number>
Say 'Send Message' and the voice
command will prompt you for the
type of message. After choosing
the message type, the system will
ask you for the contact name,
number or group. It will
automatically start a message. If
you say a full-sentence command,
such as 'Send Message to Bob', it
would automatically start a text
message without asking for the
message type. When using the
'Send Message' command, speak
clearly and say the number, group
name, or name exactly as it is
entered in your Contact list.
3. Go to <Menu>
The 'Go to' command allows you
to access a menu within the phone
(for example, 'Go to Calendar'). If
no menu option is stated, a list of
options will be provided.
4. Check <Item>
The "Check" command allows you
to check out a wide range of items
from the
Phone Status, Voicemail,
Messages, Missed Calls, Time,
Signal Strength, Battery Level,
Volume, Balance, Minutes,
Payment
and
My Number

number. City ID includes over
20,000 cities, towns and
neighborhoods in North America
and over 200 country codes from
around the world - providing mobile
subscribers with a remarkably
accurate tool to help identify
incoming callers.

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.
Octane
TM
133
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
134 Octane
TM
Safety
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 and
Health Care Facilities
If you use any other personal
medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately
shielded from the external RF
energy. Your physician may be able
to assist you in obtaining this
information.
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 the 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.
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
Octane
TM
135
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.
Violation of the
instructions may
cause minor or serious damage
to the product.
●Do not disassemble or open
crush, bend or deform, puncture
or shred.
●Do not modify or
remanufacture, attempt to insert
foreign objects into the battery,
immerse or expose to water or
other liquids, expose to fire,
explosion or other hazard.
●Only use the battery for the
system for which it is specified.
●Only use the battery with a
charging system that has been
qualified with the system per
IEEE-Std-1725-2006. Use of an
unqualified battery or charger
may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other
hazard.
Caution
136 Octane
TM
Safety
●Do not short circuit a battery or
allow metallic conductive objects
to contact battery terminals.
●Replace the battery only with
another battery that has been
qualified with the system per this
standard, IEEE-Std-1725-2006.
Use of an unqualified battery
may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage or other
hazard.
●Promptly dispose of used
batteries in accordance with local
regulations.

not liable for damage due to the
loss of data.
●When you use the phone in
public places, set the ringtone
to vibration so you don't 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.
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 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
Octane
TM
141
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.
●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.

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 idle
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 does 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
Octane
TM
143
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
144 Octane
TM
Safety
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 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
Octane
TM
145
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
146 Octane
TM
Safety
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
Octane
TM
147
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
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
148 Octane
TM
Safety
antenna. Again, the scientific data
does 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.
Octane
TM
149
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
150 Octane
TM
Safety
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.
Octane
TM
151
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
152 Octane
TM
Safety
restrict the manner in which a
driver may use his or her phone
while operating a vehicle.
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 radiofrequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC) of the U.S. Government.
These FCC exposure limits are
derived from the recommendations
of two expert organizations, the
National Counsel on Radiation
Protection and Measurement
(NCRP) and the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE). In both cases, the
recommendations were developed
by scientific and engineering
experts drawn from industry,
government, and academia after
extensive reviews of the scientific
literature related to the biological
effects of RF energy.
The exposure Limit for wireless
mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
is a measure of the rate of
absorption of RF energy by the
human body expressed in units of
watts per kilogram (W/kg). The
FCC requires wireless phones to
comply with a safety limit of 1.6
watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The
FCC exposure limit incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection to the public
and to account for any variations
in measurements.
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
operate at multiple power levels to
use only the power required to
reach the network, in general, the
Octane
TM
153
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.
This device was tested for typical
body-worn operations with the
back of the phone kept 0.79
inches (2.0 cm) between the user’s
body and the back of the phone.
To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 0.79 inches
(2.0 cm) must be maintained
between the user s body and the
back of the phone. Third-party
belt-clips, holsters, and similar
accessories containing metallic
components should not be used.
Body-worn accessories that cannot
maintain 0.79 inches (2.0 cm)
separation distance between the
user's body and the back of the
phone, and have not been tested
for typical body-worn operations
may not comply with FCC RF
exposure limits and should be
avoided.
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.
The highest SAR value for this
model phone when tested for use
at the ear is 0.77 W/kg and when
worn on the body, as described in
this user’s manual, is 0.76 W/kg.
While there may be differences
between SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions,
they all meet the government
requirement for safe exposure.
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/fccid after
searching on FCC ID.
To find information that pertains to
a particular model phone, this site
uses the phone FCC ID number
154 Octane
TM
Safety
which is usually printed somewhere
on the case of the phone.
Sometimes it may be necessary to
remove the battery pack to find the
number. Once you have the FCC ID
number for a particular phone,
follow the instructions on the
website and it should provide
values for typical or maximum SAR
for a particular phone.
Additional information on Specific
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 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
Octane
TM
155
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 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
M3+ M2= 5
M3+ M2= 5
156 Octane
TM
Safety
“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 enter that the Hearing Aid
Compatibility rating for your phone
is maintained, secondary
transmitters such as Bluetooth and
WLAN(this phone does not have
WLAN) components must be
disabled during a call. See Page 91
for instructions to disable these
components.
