Important Safety Precautions
●
●
Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct
sunlight or use it in places with high humidity, such as
a bathroom.
Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol,
benzene, thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean your
phone. This could cause a fire.
●
●
●
Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. It
may harm the internal circuit boards of the phone.
Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as the
phone may generate sparks.
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 electric shock or fire.
●
●
●
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.
Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is
being charged. It may cause an electric shock or
seriously damage your phone.
Do not disassemble the phone.

●
Do not place or answer calls while charging the
phone as it may short-circuit the phone and/or cause
electric shock or fire.
●
●
Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with
your body during a call.
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.
●
●
Store the battery out of reach of children.
Be careful that children do not swallow any parts
(such as earphone, connection parts of the phone,
etc.) This could cause asphyxiation or suffocation
resulting in serious injury or death.
●
●
Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning
storms to avoid electric shock or fire.
Only use the batteries and chargers provided by LG.
The warranty will not be applied to products provided

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.

FCC RF Exposure Information
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.)
To satisfy FCC RF exposure
requirements, keep 8 inches (20 cm)
between the user / bystander and
vehicle-mounted external antenna.
For more information about RF
exposure, visit the FCC website at
www.fcc.gov.
Caution
Use only the supplied antenna. Use of
unauthorized antennas (or
modifications to the antenna) could
impair call quality, damage the phone,
void your warranty and/or violate FCC
regulations.
Don't use the phone with a damaged
antenna. A damaged antenna could
cause a minor skin burn.
Contact your local dealer for a
replacement antenna.
Bodily Contact During Operation
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
components should not be used.
Avoid the use of accessories that

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).
TIA Safety
Information
The following is the complete TIA
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.
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved
replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the phone
and may violate FCC regulations.
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:
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone
as you would any other telephone
with the antenna pointed up and over
your shoulder.
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *

efficiently:

research by and recommendations of
Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
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:
●
Should ALWAYS keep the phone
more than six (6) inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is
turned ON;
●
Give full attention to driving --
driving safely is your first
responsibility;
●
Should not carry the phone in a
breast pocket;
●
Use hands-free operation, if
available;
●
Should use the ear opposite the
pacemaker to
minimize the potential for
interference;
●
Pull off the road and park before
making or answering a call if
driving conditions or the law
require it.
●
Should turn the phone OFF
immediately if there is any reason

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,

2. What is the FDA's role
concerning the safety of
wireless phones?
Under the law, the FDA does not
review the safety of radiation-emitting
consumer products such as wireless
phones before they can be sold, as it
does with new drugs or medical
devices. 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.
Although the existing scientific data
does not justify FDA regulatory
actions, the FDA has urged the
wireless phone industry to take a
number of steps, including the
following:
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
●

Administration
●

Information Administration

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

thousands of times lower than those

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.
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)
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 user’s 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
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 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
VX8350 89
Safety
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

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

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 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
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 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

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

with the participation and leadership
of FDA scientists and engineers. The

equipment?
10. What about children using
wireless phones?
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 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

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.

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:

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.
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.
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
your attention from 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
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

Safety
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!
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 jurisdiction’s
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.
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.

guidelines are based on standards
that were developed by independent
scientific organizations through
periodic and thorough evaluation of
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 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.

scientific studies. The standards
include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless
mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. 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
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
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 1.30 W/kg and when worn on the
body, as described in this user guide,
is 0.719 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.
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. SAR information
on this model phone is on file with the
FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after
searching on FCC ID BEJVX8350.
Additional information on Specific
Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found
on the Cellular Telecommunications
Industry Association (CTIA) website at
http://www.ctia.org.
* 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.

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.
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 are
not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of
the two ratings.
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.
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.
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
The wireless telephone industry has
developed a rating system for
wireless phones, to assist hearing
98 VX8350
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.
To ensure that the Hearing Aid
Compatibility rating for your phone is
maintained, secondary transmitters
such as Bluetooth and WLAN
components must be disabled during
a call. See Page 59 for instructions to
disable these components.
For information about hearing
aids and digital wireless phones
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 is synonymous for T
ratings. 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 that is acceptable for
normal operation.
