Important Information
This user’s guide provides important information on the use and operation
of your phone. Please read this guide carefully prior to using the phone to
be able to use your phone to its greatest advantage and to prevent any
accidental damage or misuse. Any unapproved changes or modifications will
void your warranty.
FCC Part 15 Class B Compliance
This device and its accessories comply with part 15 of FCC rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device and its
accessories may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device and its
accessories must accept any interference received, including interference
that causes undesired operation.
Technical Details
The VX8300 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 Station Transmission
System), and MS (Mobile Station).
* TSB -74: Protocol between an IS-95A system and ANSI J-STD-008
1xRTT system receives twice as many subscribers in the wireless section as
IS-95. Its battery life is twice as long as IS-95. High-speed data
transmission is also possible.
EV-DO system is optimized for data service and is much faster than 1xRTT
system in applicable area. The following table lists some major CDMA
standards.

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. The design of this phone complies with the
FCC guidelines and these international standards.
Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for typical use and FCC RF exposure requirements
with the back of the phone kept 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) from the body. Keep 0.6
inches (1.5 cm) between the user’s body and the back of the phone,
including the antenna, whether extended or retracted. Don't use accessories
that can't keep 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) between the user’s body and the back of
the phone and haven't been tested for compliance with FCC RF exposure
limits.
Belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic
components shouldn't be used.
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.

Safety
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.
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).
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.
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.
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 Wireless Technology 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.
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 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.
• Only use the approved battery charger. Otherwise, you may cause serious
damage to your phone.
• Use the correct adaptor for your phone when using the battery pack
charger abroad.
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.
• Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
• Keep the battery’s 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 nonuse 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 it’s dirty.
• When using the power plug, ensure that it’s firmly 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, paper clip 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,
paper clip or pen in your pocket or bag may short-circuit the + and –
terminals of the battery (metal strips on the battery) upon moving.
Short-circuit of the terminal may damage the battery and cause an
explosion.
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.
• The 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
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.
If you are listening to music whilst out and about, please ensure that the
volume is at a reasonable level so that you are aware of your surroundings.
This is particularly imperative when attempting to cross the street.
Avoid damage to your hearing
Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed to loud sound for long
periods of time. We therefore recommend that you do not turn on or off the
handset close to your ear. We also recommend that music and call volumes
are set to a reasonable level.
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 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 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
• National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of
