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.  
2
9. Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may short-circuit the phone and/or  
cause electric shock or fire.  
10. Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your body during a call.  
11. 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.  
12. Store the battery out of reach of children.  
13. 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.  
14. Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning storms to avoid electric shock or fire.  
15. Only use the batteries and chargers provided by LG. The warranty will not be applied to  
products provided by other suppliers.

Welcome  
CDMA technology uses a feature called DSSS  
CDMA Standard Designator  
Description  
(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.

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.  
FCC RF Exposure Information  
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.  
Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna  
(Optional, if available.)  
A minimum separation distance of 8 inches (20 cm)  
must be maintained between the user / bystander  
and the vehicle-mounted external antenna to satisfy  
FCC RF exposure requirements. For more information  
about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at  
The design of this phone complies with the FCC  
guidelines and these international standards.  
Caution  
Bodily Contact During Operation  
Use only the supplied and approved antenna. Use of  
unauthorized antennas or modifications could impair  
call quality, damage the phone, void your warranty  
and/or result in violation of FCC and IC regulations.  
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 similar accessories containing metallic  
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a  
damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin a  
minor burn may result. Contact your local dealer for a  
replacement antenna.

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.

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

2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of  
wireless phones?  
FDA Consumer Update  
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s  
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.  
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  
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:  
G
Support needed research into possible biological  
effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless  
phones;  
additional research. In some cases, other researchers  
have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in  
determining the reasons for inconsistent results.  
G
Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any  
RF exposure to the user that is not necessary for  
device function; and

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.  
The National Institutes of Health participates in  
some interagency working group activities, as well.  
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  
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

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.  
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

helped develop a series of public information  
documents on EMF issues.  
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  
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

7. How can I find out how much Radio Frequency  
energy exposure I can get by using my wireless  
phone?  
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  
All phones sold in the United States must comply with  
measuring the Radio Frequency (RF) energy exposure  
from wireless phones and other wireless handsets  
Federal Communications Commission (FCC)  
guidelines that limit Radio Frequency (RF) energy  
exposures. The FCC established these guidelines in  
with the participation and leadership of FDA  
consultation with the FDA and the other federal  
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  
whether a wireless phone complies with safety  
guidelines.

10. What about children using wireless phones?  
Radio Frequency energy from my wireless phone?  
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  
governments have advised that children be  
discouraged from using wireless phones at all. For  
example, the government in the United Kingdom  
distributed leaflets containing such a  
recommendation in December 2000. They noted  
that no evidence exists that using a wireless phone  
causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their  
recommendation to limit wireless phone use by  
children was strictly precautionary; it was not based  
on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.

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.

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.  
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.  
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous driving  
conditions or situations. Let the person you are  
speaking with know you are driving; if necessary,  
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:  
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 speakerphone accessory, take advantage of  
these devices if available to you.  
66  
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.  
Remember, it’s a free call on your wireless phone!  
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in  
emergencies. Your wireless phone provides you a  
perfect opportunity to be a “Good Samaritan” in  
your community. If you see an auto accident, crime  
in progress or other serious emergency where lives  
are in danger, call 911 or other local emergency  
number, as you would want others to do for you.  
10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-  
emergency assistance number when necessary.  
Certain situations you encounter while driving  
may require attention, but are not urgent enough  
to merit a call for emergency services. But you  
can still use your wireless phone to lend a hand.  
If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no  
serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor

Safety  
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 telecommunications  
services for persons with hearing disabilities.  
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. Your LX140 has a M4 rating.  
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.  
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC  
requirements and are likely to generate less  
interference to hearing devices than phones that are  
not labeled. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.  
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing  
device manufacturer or hearing health professional  
may help you find this rating. Higher ratings mean  
that the hearing device is relatively immune to  
interference noise. The hearing aid and wireless  
phone rating values are then added together. A sum  
of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A sum  
of 6 is considered for best use.  
The wireless telephone industry has developed a  
rating system for wireless phones, to assist hearing  
device users 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.
