landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when
received by public safety answering points (PSAPs) rendering some
communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related
to TTY equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought
to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and PSAP community
are currently working to resolve this.

⽧ Using Data Roam Guard
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off
the available network.Your new dual-band/ tri-mode
LG150 by LG works anywhere on the available network and
allows you to roamon other analog and 1900 and 800 MHz
digital networks where roaming agreements have been
implemented with other carriers.
This section explains how roaming works as well as special
features thatlet you manage your roaming experience.
LX150_VNO Phone Guide_1.0.qxd 12/27/06 2:37 PM Page 66
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 67
Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re
off the available network. Anytime you are roaming, the
phone displays the roaming icon ( ). If you are roaming on a
digital system, the roaming icon will be displayed along with
the text– Digital Roam –. If you are roaming on an analog
system, the roaming icon will be displayed along with the text
– Analog Roam –.
Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the available network,
always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on other digital networks, your call
quality and security will be similar to the quality you receive
when making calls on the available network. However, you
may notbe able to access certain features,
such as data service.
Note:If you’re on a call when you leave the available network and enter an
area where roaming is available , your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in
an area where you think network service is available, turn your phone off
and on again to reconnectto the available network.

68 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a
quality similar to thatprovided by other analog carriers today.
Although some features, such as data service, will be
unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access
voicemail. If you are accustomed to data service, you may
notice some of the following differences when using analog
service:
䢇
You are more likely to experience static, crosstalk,
fade-out, and dropped calls.
䢇
Some features which are standard on the available
network, such as call waiting, data service, and direct
international dialing, may be unavailable.
䢇
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you
are roaming, you will notreceive notification until you
return to the available network. (See “Checking for
Voicemail Messages While Roaming”on page 69.)
䢇
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and
cloning) thatexistwith conventional analog services
today.
䢇
Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you
will need to recharge itmore often when you use your
phone for analog roaming.
Note: When usingyour phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm.
This is normal for analog operation.
LX150_VNO Phone Guide_1.0.qxd 12/27/06 2:37 PM Page 68
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 69
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the available network, you may not
receive on-phone notification of new voicemail messages.
Callers can still leave messages, butyou will need to
periodically check your Voicemail for new messages if you are
in a roaming service area for an extended period of time.
To check your voicemail while roaming:
1. Dial 1 + area code + your phone number.
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press .
3. Enter your passcode atthe promptand follow the voice
prompts.
When you return to the available network, voicemail
notification will resume as normal.
SettingYour Phone’s Roam Mode
Your phone allows you to control your roaming capabilities. By
using the Roamingmenu option, you can determine which
signals your phone accepts.

to control your roaming experience.
To setyour phone’s roam mode:

Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To preventpossible
interference with aircraftsystems, 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 preventany risk of
interference, FCC regulations prohibitusing your phone while the plane is
in the air.

Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
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
setoff explosives.
Turn your phone off when you’re in any area thathas 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 notalways, clearly marked. They
include:
䢇
Fueling areas such as gas stations.
䢇
Below deck on boats.
䢇
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
䢇
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust,
or metal powders.
䢇
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle’s engine.
Note:Never transportor store flammable gas, flammable liquid, or explosives in the
compartmentof your vehicle thatcontains your phone or accessories.
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone
Your phone is nota toy. Do notallow children to play with itas they could
hurtthemselves and others, damage the phone or make calls thatincrease
your invoice.

Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you getthe mostoutof your battery’s
performance.
䢇
Recently there have been some public reports of wireless phone
batteries overheating, catching fire or exploding. Itappears thatmany,
if notall, of these reports involve counterfeitor inexpensive,
aftermarket-brand batteries with unknown or questionable
manufacturing standards. LG is not aware of similar problems with LG
phones resulting from the proper use of batteries and accessories
approved by LG. Use only approved batteries and accessories found
through LG. Buying the right batteries and accessories is the bestway to
ensure they’re genuine and safe.
䢇
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that
range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).
䢇
Don’tuse the battery charger in directsunlightor in high humidity
areas, such as the bathroom.
䢇
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
䢇
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
䢇
Don’tattemptto disassemble or short-circuitthe battery.
䢇
The battery may need recharging if it has notbeen used for a long period
of time.
䢇
It’s best to replace the battery when itno longer provides acceptable
performance. Itcan be recharged hundreds of times before itneeds
replacing.
䢇
Don’tstore the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of
time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:
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 (Li-Ion) Batteries
Do nothandle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned.
For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contactyour nearest
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.
Radiofrequency (RF) Energy
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned
on, itreceives and transmits radiofrequency (RF) signals. When you use
your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level. This
power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.
Knowing Radiofrequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards described
below.
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 respectto human exposure to RF
signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from
universities, governmenthealth 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 Measurements (NCRP).
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a
handseton your body, use the supplied or approved carrying case, holster or
other body-worn accessory. If you do notuse a body-worn accessory, ensure
the antenna is atleast7/16 inch (1.5 centimeters) from your body when
transmitting. Use of non- approved accessories may violate FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
For more information aboutRF exposure, visitthe FCC Web site at

154 Section 4A: Important Safety Information
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amountof RF energy
absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the resultof an extensive testing, measuring
and calculation process. Itdoes notrepresenthow much RF the phone
emits. All phone models are tested attheir highestvalue in strictlaboratory
settings. Butwhen 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 importantto remember is thateach phone meets strict
federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do notrepresent a variation in safety.
All phones mustmeetthe federal standard, which incorporates a
substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values
between differentmodel phones do notmean 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 highestreported SAR values of the
LG150 are:
AMPS mode (Part22):
Head:
0.961
W/kg; Body-worn:
1.040
W/kg
PCS mode (Part24):
Head: 0.755W/kg; Body-worn: 0.215W/kg
