●
●
Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct sunlight or use it in places with high  
humidity, such as a bathroom.  
Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene, thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean  
your phone. This could cause a fire.  
Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. It may harm the internal circuit boards of the  
phone.

●
Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may short-circuit the phone  
and/or cause electric shock or fire.  
●
●
Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your body during a call.  
Make sure that no sharp-edged items, such as animal’s teeth or nails, come into contact  
with the battery. This could cause a fire.  
●
●
Store the battery out of reach of children.  
Be careful that children do not swallow any parts (such as earphone, connection parts of  
the phone, etc.) This could cause asphyxiation or suffocation resulting in serious injury or  
death.  
●
●
Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning storms to avoid electric shock or fire.  
Only use the batteries and chargers provided by LG. The warranty will not be applied to  
products provided by other suppliers.  
●
●
Only authorized personnel should service the phone and its accessories. Faulty installation  
or service may result in accidents and consequently invalidate the warranty.  
An emergency call can be made only within a service area. For an emergency call, make  
sure that you are within a service area and that the phone is turned on.

may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this  
device and its accessories must accept any  
interference received, including interference that  
causes undesired operation.  
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).  
Technical Details  
* TSB -74: Protocol between an IS-95A system and  
ANSI J-STD-008  
The VX8700 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.  
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.  
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.  
EV-DO system is optimized for data service and is  
much faster than 1xRTT system in applicable area.  
The following table lists some major CDMA  
standards.

Technical Details  
FCC RF Exposure Information  
similar accessories containing metallic  
components should not be used. Avoid the use of  
accessories that cannot maintain 0.6 inches (1.5  
cm) distance between the user’s body and the  
back of the phone and have not been tested for  
compliance with FCC RF exposure limits.  
WARNING! Read this information before operating  
the phone.  
In August 1996, the Federal Communications  
Commission (FCC) of the United States, with its  
action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted an  
updated safety standard for human exposure to  
Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy  
emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those  
guidelines are consistent with the safety standard  
previously set by both U.S. and international  
standards bodies. The design of this phone  
complies with the FCC guidelines and these  
international standards.  
Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna  
(Optional, if available.)  
To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements, keep 8  
inches (20 cm) between the user / bystander and  
vehicle-mounted external antenna. For more  
information about RF exposure, visit the FCC  
website at www.fcc.gov.  
Caution  
Bodily Contact During Operation  
Use only the supplied antenna. Use of unauthorized  
antennas (or modifications to the antenna) could  
impair call quality, damage the phone, void your  
warranty and/or violate FCC regulations.  
Don't use the phone with a damaged antenna. A  
damaged antenna could cause a minor skin burn.  
Contact your local dealer for a replacement  
antenna.  
This device was tested for typical use with the  
back of the phone kept 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) from the  
body. To comply with FCC RF exposure  
requirements, a minimum separation distance of  
0.6 inches (1.5 cm) must be maintained between  
the user’s body and the back of the phone,  
including the antenna, whether extended or  
retracted. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and

Those standards were based on comprehensive  
TIA Safety Information  
The following is the complete TIA Safety  
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).  
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.  
The design of your phone complies with the FCC  
guidelines (and those standards).  
Antenna Care  
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:  
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement  
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or  
attachments could damage the phone and may  
violate FCC regulations.

equipment may not be shielded against the RF  
signals from your wireless phone.  
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.  
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.  
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:

Hearing Aids  
Vehicles  
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).  
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.  
Other Medical Devices  
Posted Facilities  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

Safety  
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere  
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag  
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.  
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.

Do not turn your phone on or off when putting it  
to your ear.  
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 common-  
sense recommendations when using any portable  
audio device:  
Use accessories, such as earphones and  
headsets, with caution. Ensure that cables are  
tucked away safely and do not touch the  
antenna unnecessarily.  
• Set the volume in a quiet environment and  
select the lowest volume at which you can  
hear adequately.  
Caution! Avoid Potential Hearing Loss.  
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including  
music) is a 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),  
• 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-canceling headphones to block out  
background environmental noise.

Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing  
loss and other potential hearing problems varies.

volume increases, less time is required before  
your hearing could be affected.

FDA Consumer Update  
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s  
Center for Devices and Radiological  
Health Consumer Update on Mobile  
Phones:  
2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of  
wireless phones?  
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?  
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:  
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

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.  
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

3. What kinds of phones are the subject of this  
update?  
4. What are the results of the research done  
already?  
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.  
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 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.  
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.  
5. What research is needed to decide whether RF  
exposure from wireless phones poses a health  
risk?  
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.  
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

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  
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  
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

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.  
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 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  
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

that wireless phones are harmful. But if you are  
concerned about the RF exposure from these  
products, you can use measures like those

wireless phone use.  
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.  
10. What about children using wireless phones?  
11. What about wireless phone interference with  
medical equipment?  
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  
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  
102 VX8700  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
are safe from wireless phone EMI.  
12. Where can I find additional information?  
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:  
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.  
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.  
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  
2. When available, use a hands-free device. A  
number of hands-free wireless phone  
accessories are readily available today.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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.  
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!  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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

Safety  
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.  
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 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.  
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  
106 VX8700  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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 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 value for this model phone when  
tested for use at the ear is 1.13 W/kg and when  
worn on the body, as described in this user guide,  
is 0.518 W/kg (body-worn 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/fccid  
after searching on FCC ID BEJVX8700. 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.  
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.  
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.  
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

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.
