Important Information  
This guide provides important information on the use and operation of  
your phone.  
Please read all the information carefully prior to using the phone for the  
best performance and to prevent any damage to or misuse of the phone.  
Any unapproved changes or modifications will void your warranty.  
Technical Details  
The ApexTM 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 StationTransmission  
System), and MS (Mobile Station).  
*TSB-74: Protocol between an IS- 95A system and ANSI J-STD- 008  
Its battery life is twice as long as IS-95. High-speed data transmission is  
also possible.

Safety  
TIA Safety Information  
The following is the completeTIA 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).  
40  
Safety  
Antenna Care  
Use only the supplied internal 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.  
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.  
41  
Safety  
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 WirelessTechnology 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 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  
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.  
42  
Safety  
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.  
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.  
Posted Facilities  
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.  
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 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  
43  
Safety  
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.  
Caution! Violation of the instructions may cause minor or serious  
damage to the product.  
Charger and Adapter Safety  
The charger and adapter are intended for indoor use only.  
• Insert the battery pack charger vertically into the wall power socket.  
• Use the correct adapter for your phone when using the battery pack  
charger abroad.  
• Only use the approved battery charger. Otherwise, you may cause  
serious damage to your phone.  
Battery Information and Care  
• Please dispose of your battery properly or take it to your local wireless  
carrier for recycling.  
The battery doesn’t need to be empty before recharging.  
• Use only LG-approved chargers specific to your phone model since they  
are designed to maximize battery life.  
44  
Safety  
• Do not disassemble or shortcircuit the battery.  
• Keep the batterys metal contacts clean.  
• Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance.  
The battery can be recharged several hundred times before  
replacement.  
• Recharge the battery after long periods of non-use to maximize battery  
life.  
• Battery life will vary due to usage patterns and environmental  
conditions.  
• Use of extended backlighting, Browser, and data connectivity kits affect  
battery life and talk/standby times.  
The self-protection function of the battery cuts the power of the phone  
when its operation is in an abnormal state. In this case, remove the  
battery from the phone, reinstall it, and turn the phone on.  
Explosion, Shock, and Fire Hazards  
• Do not put your phone in a place subject to excessive dust and keep the  
minimum required distance between the power cord and heat sources.  
• Unplug the power cord prior to cleaning your phone, and clean the  
power plug pin when its dirty.  
• When using the power plug, ensure that its rmly connected. If not, it  
may cause excessive heat or fire.  
• If you put your phone in a pocket or bag without covering the receptacle  
of the phone (power plug pin), metallic articles (such as a coin, paperclip  
or pen) may short-circuit the phone. Always cover the receptacle when  
not in use.  
• Don’t short-circuit the battery. Metallic articles such as a coin, paperclip  
or pen in your pocket or bag may shortcircuit the + and – terminals of  
the battery (metal strips on the battery) upon moving. Short-circuit of  
45  
Safety  
the terminal may damage the battery and cause an explosion.  
• Do not disassemble or crush the battery. It may cause a fire.  
General Notice  
• Using a damaged battery or placing a battery in your mouth may cause  
serious injury.  
• Do not place items containing magnetic components such as a credit  
card, phone card, bank book, or subway ticket near your phone.The  
magnetism of the phone may damage the data stored in the magnetic  
strip.  
Talking on your phone for a long period of time may reduce call quality  
due to heat generated during use.  
• When the phone is not used for a long period time, store it in a safe  
place with the power cord unplugged.  
• Using the phone in proximity to receiving equipment (i.e.,TV or radio)  
may cause interference to the phone.  
• Do not use the phone if the antenna is damaged. If a damaged  
antenna contacts skin, it may cause a slight burn. Please contact an LG  
Authorized Service Center to replace the damaged antenna.  
• Do not immerse your phone in water. If this happens, turn it off  
immediately and remove the battery. If the phone does not work, take it  
to an LG Authorized Service Center.  
• Do not paint your phone. lThe data saved in your phone might be  
deleted due to careless use, repair of the phone, or upgrade of the  
software. Please backup your important phone numbers. (Ring tones,  
text messages, voice messages, pictures, and videos could also be  
deleted.)The manufacturer is not liable for damage due to the loss of  
data.  
• When you use the phone in public places, set the ringtone to vibration  
46  
Safety  
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.  
Warning! Important safety information  
Avoiding hearing damage  
Permanent hearing loss may occur if you use your phone and/or headset  
at a high volume. Set the volume to a safe level.  
You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may sound  
normal but can be damaging to your hearing. If you experience ringing  
in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing  
checked.The louder the volume, the less time is required before your  
hearing could be affected.  
Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:  
• Limit the amount of time you use your phone and/or headset at high  
volume.  
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.  
Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.  
For information about how to set a maximum volume limit on your phone,  
see the features guide for your phone.  
Using your phone safely  
Use of your phone while operating a vehicle is not recommended and is  
illegal in some areas. Be careful and attentive while driving. Stop using  
your phone if you find it disruptive or distracting while operating any type  
of vehicle or performing any other activity that requires your full attention.  
47  
Safety  
Using headsets safely  
Use of headsets to listen to music while operating a vehicle is not  
recommended and is illegal in some areas. Be careful and attentive while  
driving. Stop using this device if you find it disruptive or distracting while  
operating any type of vehicle or performing any other activity that requires  
your full attention.  
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 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.  
2. What is the FDA’s role concerning the safety of wireless phones?  
Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of radiationemitting  
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  
48  
Safety  
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 do 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 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  
• NationalTelecommunications 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.  
49  
Safety  
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 Radio  
Frequency (RF) energy because of the short distance between the phone  
and the users 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 persons 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  
50  
Safety  
animals that had been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-  
causing chemicals so as to be predisposed 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  
longterm 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  
51  
Safety  
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. NationalToxicology 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 the world.The project has also helped  
develop a series of public information documents on EMF issues.The  
FDA and the CellularTelecommunications & 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. CTIAfunded 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  
52  
Safety  
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 bodys 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  
FCC identification number on your phone so you can find your phones RF  
exposure level in the online listing.  
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: ExperimentalTechniques, 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.  
53  
Safety  
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 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 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  
54  
Safety  
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.  
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 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 handsfree 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  
56  
Safety  
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.  
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  
57  
Safety  
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,  
its 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 nonemergency  
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 brokendown 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 jurisdictions 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.

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 closer you are to a wireless base station  
59  
Safety  
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 governmentadopted 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 users 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 users 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 1.36 W/kg and when worn on the body, is 0.74 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  
after searching on FCC ID BEJVS740.  
To nd information that pertains to a particular model phone, this site  
uses the phone FCC ID number which is usually printed somewhere on  
the case of the phone. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the  
60  
Safety  
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 CellularTelecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website  
*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 hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated.  
Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label located on  
61  
Safety  
the box.  
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the users  
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.  
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 “normal usage”  
while using their hearing aid with the particular wireless phone.  
“Normal usage” in this context is defined as a signal quality thats  
acceptable for normal operation.  
The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark.  
TheT mark is intended to be synonymous with the UT mark.  
The M andT 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  
62  
Safety  
Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.  
When you’re talking over the cell phone, its recommended youd turn the  
BT (Bluetooth®) mode off for HAC.  
According to HAC policy (KDB 285076), we state this handset has  
not been rated for hearing aid compatibility with respect to the Wi-Fi  
capability.
