Important Safety Precautions

Read these instructions. Breaking the rules may be dangerous or

illegal. Further detailed information is given in this user guide.

WARNING! Violation of the instructions may cause serious injury or

death.

1. Never use an unapproved battery since this could

damage the phone and/or battery and could cause

the battery to explode.

2. Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will

cause the battery to explode.

3. Never store your phone in temperatures less than

-4°F or greater than 122°F.

4. Do not dispose of your battery by fire or with

hazardous or flammable materials.

5. When riding in a car, do not leave your phone or set

up the hands-free kit near to the air bag. If wireless

equipment is improperly installed and the air bag is

deployed, you may be seriously injured.

6. Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.

7. Do not use the phone in areas where its use is

prohibited. (For example: aircraft)

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.

Important Safety Precautions

1. Do not place or answer calls while charging the phone as it may

short-circuit the phone and/or cause electric shock or fire.

2. Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your body

during a call.

3. 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.

4. Store the battery out of reach of children.

5. 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.

6. Unplug the power cord and charger during lightning storms to

avoid electric shock or fire.

7. Only use the batteries and chargers provided by LG. The

warranty will not be applied to products provided by other

suppliers.

8. Only authorized personnel should service the phone and its

accessories. Faulty installation or service may result in accidents

and consequently invalidate the warranty.

9. Your service provider programs one or more emergency phone

numbers, such as 911, that you can call under any

circumstances, even when your phone is locked. Your phone’s

preprogrammed emergency number(s) may not work in all

locations, and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed

due to network, environmental, or interference issues.

Technical Details

The LG DARE 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).

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.

Bodily Contact During

Operation

This device was tested for typical

use with the back of the phone

kept 0.79 inches (2.0 cm) from

the body. To comply with FCC

RF exposure requirements, a

minimum separation distance of

0.79 inches (2.0 cm) must be

Technical Details

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 cannot maintain

0.79 inches (2.0 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.

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.

FCC Notice and Cautions

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.

Any changes or modifications

not expressly approved in this

user guide could void your

warranty for this equipment. 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.

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

Safety

124

Safety

Safety

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

Safety

126

Safety

127

Safety

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.

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.

Use the correct adapter for

your phone when using the

battery pack charger abroad.

Only use the approved battery

charger. Otherwise, you may

cause serious damage to your

phone.

long periods of non-use 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, paperclip 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, paperclip 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.

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

Safety

134

Safety

135

Safety

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 Health

participates in some interagency

working group activities, as well.

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 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. 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?

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

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) 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

Safety

136

Safety

137

Safety

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 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 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.

5. What research is needed to

decide whether RF exposure

from wireless phones poses a

health risk?

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

populations, but ten 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 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.

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 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

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

Safety

138

Safety

139

Safety

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.

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 (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

(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.

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 (RF) energy exposure

from wireless phones and other

wireless handsets with the

participation and leadership of

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 (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 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 above to reduce your

RF exposure from wireless phone

use.

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

(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 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.

11. What about wireless phone

interference with medical

equipment?

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
