Welcome

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).

FCC RF Exposure Information

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.

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. The design of this phone

complies with the FCC guidelines and these

international standards.

Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna (Optional, if

available)

A minimum 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

www.fcc.gov.

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 violate of FCC regulations.

Don't use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a

damaged antenna contacts skin, a minor burn may

result. Contact your local dealer for a replacement

The Battery

Charging the Battery

The phone comes with a rechargeable battery.

Keep it charged even while you’re not using it so

that it’s ready when you need it.

To use the charger provided with your phone:

1. Plug one end of the AC adapter into the phone’s

charger port and the other into an electrical

outlet.

NOTE

It’s important to fully charge the battery before

using the phone for the first time.

2. Charge time varies depending upon the battery

level.

NOTE

Battery life and signal strength are significant

factors (among others) that affect your phone’s

ability to send/receive calls.

NOTICE

Please use only an approved charging accessory to charge your

LG phone.

Installing the Battery

Improper handling of the charging port, as well as the use of an

incompatible charger, may cause damage to your phone and void

the warranty.

Insert the bottom of the battery into the opening on

the back of the phone, then push the battery down

until the latch clicks. Align the battery cover over

the battery then slide it slightly upward until it

clicks into place.

NOTICE

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:

Persons with pacemakers:

Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six

(6) inches from their pacemaker when the phone

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.

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.

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.

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

Consumer Update on Mobile Phones:

2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of

wireless 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 energy

(RF) in the microwave range while being used.

They also emit very low levels of RF when in the

Main Menu Screen. 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,

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 energy

(RF) 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

VX5300 85

Safety

wireless phones.

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.

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.

Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes

any RF exposure to the user that is not

necessary for device function.

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:

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?

Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

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 energy (RF) because

of the short distance between the phone and the

user’s head.

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

86 VX5300

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 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.

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 animals that

had been genetically engineered or treated with

cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre-

disposed 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 don’t 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.

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 energy (RF) exposures characteristic of

wireless phones have yielded conflicting results

that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories.

A few animal studies, however, have suggested

Safety

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.

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.

5. What research is needed to decide whether RF

exposure from wireless phones poses a health

risk?

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

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

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 energy (RF).

populations, but 10 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

Electromagnetic 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

88 VX5300

information documents on EMF issues. 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.

consultation with the FDA and the other federal

health and safety agencies. The FCC limit for RF

exposure from wireless telephones 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

(http://www.fcc. gov/oet/ rfsafety) gives directions

for locating the FCC identification number on your

phone so you can find your phone’s RF exposure

level in the online listing.

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 energy (RF)

exposures. The FCC established these guidelines in

VX5300 89

Safety

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 energy (RF)

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: 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.

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 energy (RF). 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 does not demonstrate

90 VX5300

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.

Their recommendation to limit wireless phone use

by children was strictly precautionary; it was not

based on scientific evidence that any health

hazard exists.

11. What about wireless phone interference with

medical equipment?

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 energy (RF), 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.

Radio Frequency energy (RF) from wireless phones

can interact with some electronic devices. For this

reason, the FDA helped develop a detailed test

method to measure electromagnetic 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

VX5300 91

Safety

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:

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.

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.

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

suspend conversations which have the

potential to divert 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, it's a free call

on your wireless phone!

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

9. Use your wireless phone to help others in

emergencies. Your wireless phone provides

you a perfect opportunity to be a “Good

serious emergency where lives are in danger,

call 911 or other local emergency number, as

you would want others to do for you.

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,

Before a phone model is available for sale to the

public, it must be tested and certified by the FCC

that it does not exceed the limit established by the

government-adopted 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.

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 0.731 W/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.

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.

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.

M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC

requirements and are likely to generate less

interference to hearing devices than phones that

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.
