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 roam on 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 that let 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 not be 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 reconnect to the available network.
Roaming

68 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a
quality similar to that provided 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 not receive 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) that exist with conventional analog services
today.
䢇
Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you
will need to recharge it more often when you use your
phone for analog roaming.
Note: When using your 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, but you 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 at the prompt and 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.
Set Mode
Choose from three different settings on your dual- band phone
to control your roaming experience.
To set your phone’s roam mode:
1. Select Menu > Settings > Roaming > Set Mode.
2. To select an option, highlight it and press .

Automatic seeks network service. When network
service unavailable, the phone searches for an
alternate system.
䡲

allows you to access the available
network only and prevents roaming on other
networks.
䡲
Roaming Only forces the phone to seek a roaming
system. The previous setting (Home Only or
Automatic) is restored the next time the phone is
turned on.
Using Call Guard
Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are
roaming off the available network: the onscreen roaming icon
and Call Guard. Call Guard makes it easy to manage your
roaming charges by requiring an extra step before you can
place or answer a roaming call. (This additional step is not
required when you make or receive calls while on the available
network.)
To turn Call Guard on or off:
1. Select Menu > Settings > Roaming > Call Guard.
2. Highlight On or Offand press .
Note: Voice dialing and speed dialing are not available when you are
roaming with Call Guard enabled.
To place roaming calls with Call Guard on:
1. From standby mode, dial 1 + area code + the seven-digit
number and press . (You can also initiate a call from
the Contacts, Call History, or Messaging.)
2. Select Roam Call.

1. Press . (A message will be displayed notifying you
that roaming charges will apply.)
2. Select Answer.
Note: If the Call Guard feature is set to On, you need to take extra steps to
make and receive roaming calls.
Using Data Roam Guard
When Data Roam Guard is enabled, you will be asked if you
want to continue using your browser or other online
applications when you are in a data roaming area. When Data
Roam Guard is turned off, your phone will establish or
maintain a data connection in a data roaming area without
asking you for permission.
To turn Data Roam Guard on or off:
1. Select Menu > Settings > Roaming > Data Roam Guard.
2. Highlight Always Ask or Never Ask Again and press .

Getting Started With Data Service
This section will help you learn the basics of using your
data service, including managing your user name, launching a
data connection, and navigating the Web with your phone.
Your User Name
When you buy a phone and sign up for service, you’re
automatically assigned a user name, which is typically based
on your wireless phone number.
When you use data services, your user name is submitted to
identify you to the available network. The user name is also
useful as a way to personalize Web services, and as an online
virtual identity.
Your user name will be automatically programmed into your
phone. You don’t have to enter it.
Finding Your User Name
If you aren’t sure what your data service user name is, you can
easily find it online or on your phone.
To find your user name:
䢇
You can find your user name under the Phone Info option
in your phone’s Settingsmenu (Menu > Settings > Phone
Info > My Phone Number).

General Precautions
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and
maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
䢇
Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully extended, and over your
shoulder.
䢇
Try not to hold, bend, or twist the phone’s antenna.
䢇
Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
䢇
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
䢇
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If
your phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove
the battery.
䢇
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment
and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on it.
䢇
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved in
this document could void your warranty for this equipment and void
your authority to operate this equipment.
Note: For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel should service your
phone and accessories. Failure to do so may be dangerous and void your warranty.
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to
Your Phone
Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee
connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon
any mobile phone for essential communication (e.g., medical
emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks
or when certain network services and/or mobile phone features are in use.
Check with your local service provider for details.
Important Safety Information
LX150_VNO Phone Guide_1.0.qxd 12/27/06 2:37 PM Page 149
150 Section 4A: Important Safety Information
Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a
hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to
specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special
regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is
forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radiofrequency (RF)
signals. However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately
shielded electronic equipment.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic operating systems and/or entertainment systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to determine
if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also
check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been
added to your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as
pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded
from external RF signals.
Note: Always turn off the phone in health-care facilities and request permission before
using the phone near medical equipment.
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible
interference with aircraft systems, 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 prevent any risk of
interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is
in the air.

Section 4A: Important Safety Information 151
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
set off explosives.
Turn your phone off when you’re in any area that has 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 not always, 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 transport or store flammable gas, flammable liquid, or explosives in the
compartment of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they could
hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls that increase
your invoice.

152 Section 4A: Important Safety Information
Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s
performance.
䢇
Recently there have been some public reports of wireless phone
batteries overheating, catching fire or exploding. It appears that many,
if not all, of these reports involve counterfeit or 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 best way 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’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or 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’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
䢇
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period
of time.
䢇
It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable
performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs
replacing.
䢇
Don’t store 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)

Section 4A: Important Safety Information 153
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries
Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned.
For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your 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, it receives 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 respect to human exposure to RF
signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from
universities, government health 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
handset on your body, use the supplied or approved carrying case, holster or
other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure
the antenna is at least 7/16 inch (1.5 centimeters) from your body when
transmitting. Use of non- approved accessories may violate FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Web site at
w
ww.f cc.gov.

154 Section 4A: Important Safety Information
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy
absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring
and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone
emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory
settings. But when 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 important to remember is that each phone meets strict
federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a
substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values
between different model phones do not mean 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 highest reported SAR values of the
LG150 are:
AMPS mode (Part 22):
Head:
0.961
W/kg; Body-worn:
1.040
W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24):
Head: 0.755W/kg; Body-worn: 0.215W/kg
FCC Radiofrequency Emission
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.
FCC ID number:
BEJLX150.
