TECHNICAL DETAILS
Technical Details
* TSB-74: Protocol between an IS-95A system and
ANSI J-STD-008
The LG245 is a trimode phone that operates on both
(Code Division Multiple Access CDMA) frequencies:
cellular services at 800 MHz and (Personal
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.
Communication Services PCS) at 1.9 GHz. Also, the
LG245 works on Advanced Mobile Phone Service. We
call it a tri-mode phone. Since the phone operates on
Cellular, PCS and AMPS, the call fail rate is less than on
a conventional dual-mode or single-mode phone.
The following table lists some major CDMA
standards.
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).

2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of
wireless phones?
FDA Consumer Update
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for
Devices and Radiological Health Consumer Update
on Mobile 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.
1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that
any health problems are associated with using
wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that
wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones
emit low levels of Radio Frequency (RF) energy in the
microwave range while being used. They also emit
very low levels of RF when in standby mode. Whereas
high levels of RF can produce health effects (by
heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does
not produce heating effects causes no known adverse
health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures
have not found any biological effects. Some studies
have suggested that some biological effects may
occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by
additional research. In some cases, other researchers
have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in
determining the reasons for inconsistent results.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify
FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the
wireless phone industry to take a number of steps,
including the following:

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.
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.
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

guidelines that limit Radio Frequency (RF) energy
exposures. The FCC established these guidelines in

scientists and engineers. The standard,
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
“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

9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to
Radio Frequency energy from my wireless phone?
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.
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
Some groups sponsored by other national
conversations by wireless phone every day, you could
place more distance between your body and the
source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off
dramatically with distance. For example, you could
use a headset and carry the wireless phone away
from your body or use a wireless phone connected to
a remote antenna. Again, the scientific data do not
demonstrate that wireless phones are harmful. But if
you are concerned about the RF exposure from these
products, you can use measures like those described

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.
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.

behind the wheel of a car, practice good common
sense and remember the following tips:
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 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.
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.

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

Before deciding to use your mobile device while
operating a vehicle, it is recommended that you

phone while operating a vehicle.
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

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.
In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for

(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.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when
tested for use at the ear is 1.27 W/kg and when
worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
0.731W/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 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
