Important Safety Precautions  
Read these instructions. Breaking the rules may be dangerous or  
illegal. Further detailed information is given in this user guide.  
WARNING! Violation of the instructions may cause serious injury or  
death.  
1. Never use an unapproved battery since this could  
damage the phone and/or battery and could cause  
the battery to explode.  
2. Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will  
cause the battery to explode.  
3. Never store your phone in temperatures less than  
-4°F or greater than 12F.  
4. Do not dispose of your battery by fire or with  
hazardous or flammable materials.  
5. When riding in a car, do not leave your phone or set  
up the hands-free kit near to the air bag. If wireless  
equipment is improperly installed and the air bag is  
deployed, you may be seriously injured.  
6. Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.  
7. Do not use the phone in areas where its use is  
prohibited. (For example: aircraft)

Important Safety Precautions  
1. Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct  
sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as  
a bathroom.  
2. Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene,  
thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean your phone. This  
could cause a fire.  
3. Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. It  
may harm the internal circuit boards of the phone.  
4. Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as the  
phone may generate sparks.  
5. Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting,  
pulling, or heating. Do not use the plug if it is loose as  
it may cause a fire or electric shock.  
6. Do not place any heavy items on the power cord. Do  
not allow the power cord to be crimped as it may  
cause electric shock or fire.  
7. Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is  
being charged. It may cause an electric shock or  
seriously damage your phone.  
8. Do not disassemble the phone.

1. Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may  
short-circuit the phone and/or cause electric shock or fire.  
2. Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your body  
during a call.  
3. 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.  
4. Store the battery out of reach of children.  
5. Be careful that children do not swallow any parts (such as  
rubber plugs, earphone, connection parts of the phone, etc.)  
This could cause asphyxiation or suffocation resulting in serious  
injury or death.  
6. Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning storms to  
avoid electric shock or fire.  
7. Only use the batteries and chargers provided by LG. The  
warranty will not be applied to products provided by other  
suppliers.  
8. Only authorized personnel should service the phone and its  
accessories. Faulty installation or service may result in accidents  
and consequently invalidate the warranty.  
9. Your service provider programs one or more emergency phone  
numbers, such as 911, that you can call under any  
circumstances, even when your phone is locked. Your phone’s  
preprogrammed emergency number(s) may not work in all  
locations, and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed  
due to network, environmental, or interference issues.

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.  
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.  
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

wireless phones are shown to

energy at a level that is

case, the FDA could require the

to notify users of the health  
hazard and to repair, replace, or

distance between the phone and  
the user’s head.  
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.  
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
