Getting to Know the Touch Screen

WARNING: Don’t place anything heavy on the touch screen.

Be careful not to scratch the touch screen with

sharp objects.

only a light touch — you don’t need to press them

forcefully to use them. Pressing touch keys too hard

may damage the touch keypad.

Do not store your phone in extreme conditions

(places that are too humid, hot, or cold), or

around chemicals, which may change the

cosmetic or functional features of your phone.

ⅷ Use the tip of your finger to touch the center of a

touch key. If you touch off-center it may activate an

adjacent key instead.

(unless the battery is charging).

Calibrating the Touch Screen

Sprint-approved or LG-approved batteries and

accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or through

LG; or you can call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They’re

also available at www.sprint.com.

1. When the phone is turned on, touch Calibrate Now.

2. Touch the screen to start touch calibration.

3. Touch the target each time it appears.

Your phone is equipped with a Lithium-Ion Polymer (Li-

poly) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery

before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 7

hours of continuous digital talk time.

See “Setting Up Your Phone” on page 2.

When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery

icon blinks. When there are approximately two minutes

of talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and

then turns off.

WARNING: Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-poly

battery as you can be burned.

Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate

mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce

the battery’s talk and standby times.

Tip: Watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the

battery before it runs out of power.

Installing the Battery

Removing the Battery

Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If

your battery level becomes too low, your phone

automatically turns off, and you will lose any

information you were working on.

any stored numbers or messages.

Always use a Sprint-approved or LG-approved desktop

charger, travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to

charge your battery.

2. Hold the phone securely with both hands.

3. Place your thumb on the bottom of the phone and

push the cover upward until it clicks out of place.

Then, remove the battery cover.

4. Use the opening near the top of the battery to lift

Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio

frequency (RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless

phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic

equipment.

Maintaining Safe Use of and Access

to Your Phone

Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls

Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot

guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should

never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential

communication (e.g., medical emergencies). Emergency calls

may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain

network services or mobile phone features are in use. Check

with your local service provider for details.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately

shielded electronic operating systems or entertainment

systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their

representative to determine if these systems are adequately

shielded from external RF signals. Also check with the

manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been added to

your vehicle.

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices,

such as pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are

adequately shielded from external RF signals.

Using Your Phone While Driving

Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone

without a hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions.

Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember that safety

always comes first.

Note: Always turn off the phone in healthcare facilities, and request

permission before using the phone near medical equipment.

Tip: Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint

Store, or call Sprint at 1-866-866-7509. You can also dial # 2 2 2

on your phone.

Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying

Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent

possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal

Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have

permission from a crew member to use your phone while

the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of interference,

FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is in

the air.

Following Safety Guidelines

To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any

special regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas

where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or

danger.

Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas

Using Your Phone With a Hearing

Aid Device

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone

off when in a blasting area or in other areas with signs

indicating two-way radios should be turned off. Construction

crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.

A number of Sprint phones have been tested for hearing aid

device compatibility. When some wireless phones are used

with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and

cochlear implants), users may detect a noise which can

interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device.

Turn your phone off when you’re in any area that has a

potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone

and accessories could generate sparks. Sparks can cause an

explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. These

areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:

hearing aid compatibility and are likely to generate less

interference to hearing devices than unrated phones. (M4 is the

better/higher of the two ratings.)

T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and

are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T

Switch”or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. (T4 is the

better/higher of the two ratings. Note that not all hearing

devices have telecoils in them.)

Getting the Best Hearing Device

Experience With Your Phone

To further minimize interference:

ⅷ Set the phone’s display and keypad backlight settings to

ensure the minimum time interval:

Hearing aid devices may also be measured for immunity to

interference noise from wireless phones and should have

ratings similar to phones. Ask your hearing healthcare

professional for the rating of your hearing aid. Add the rating of

your hearing aid and your phone to determine probable

usability:

1. Touch

> Main Menu > Settings > Display >

Backlight > Backlight Dim, or Backlight Off.

2. Highlight the minimum time interval setting and touch

ⅷ Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers

excellent use.

Done

ⅷ Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.

ⅷ Any combined rating equal to four is considered usable.

ⅷ Position the phone so the internal antenna is farthest from

your hearing aid.

ⅷ Move the phone around to find the point with least

interference.

Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will

have a combined rating of six for “excellent use.” This is

synonymous for T ratings.

Sprint further suggests you experiment with multiple phones

(even those not labeled M3/T3 or M4/T4) while in the store to

find the one that works best with your hearing aid device.

It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides

acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of

times before it needs replacing.

Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long

periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:

Caring for the Battery

Protecting Your Battery

The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your

battery’s performance.

Recently there have been some public reports of wireless

phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It

appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve

counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with

unknown or questionable manufacturing standards. Sprint is

not aware of similar problems with Sprint phones resulting

from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved

by Sprint or the manufacturer of your phone. Use only Sprint-

approved or manufacturer-approved batteries and

accessories found at Sprint Stores or through your phone’s

manufacturer, or call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They’re also

available at www.sprint.com — click Accessories. Buying the

right batteries and accessories is the best way to ensure

they’re genuine and safe.

Less than one month:

-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)

More than one month:

-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)

Disposal of Lithium-Ion Polymer (Li-poly) Batteries

Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-poly battery as you can

be burned.

For safe disposal options of your Li-poly batteries, contact your

nearest Sprint authorized service center.

Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In

some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business

trash may be prohibited.

In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in

temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

Understanding How Your Phone Operates

Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When

it’s turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF)

signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your

call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006

watt to 0.2 watt in digital mode.

Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high

humidity areas, such as the bathroom.

Never dispose of the battery by incineration.

Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.

Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.

The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for

a long period of time.

Knowing Radio Frequency Safety

The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP

standards described below.

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless

Phones

The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF

energy absorbed into the head of a user of a wireless handset.

In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

(IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)

joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with

respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120

scientists, engineers and physicians from universities,

government health agencies and industries developed this

updated standard after reviewing the available body of

research. In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission

(FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In August

1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the

existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by

the National Council of Radiation Protection and

The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing,

measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how

much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their

highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in

operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than

the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of

factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone

design and other factors. What is important to remember is that

each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs

do not represent a variation in safety.

Measurements (NCRP).

All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates

a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in

SAR values between different model phones do not mean

variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard

of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.

The highest reported SAR values of the LG Rumor Touch^TM

are:

Body-Worn Operation

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if

you wear a handset on your body, use a Sprint-supplied or

Sprint-approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn

accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure

the antenna is at least 7/16 inch (1.5 centimeters) from your

body when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint-approved

accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Cellular CDMA mode (Part 22):

Head: 0.62 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.87 W/kg

For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website

at www.fcc.gov.

PCS mode (Part 24):

Head: 1.24 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.49 W/kg
