Technical Details

Technical DetailsLG 8600 is an all digital phone that operates on bothCode Division Multiple Access (CDMA) frequencies:cellular services at 800 Mhz and PersonalCommunication Services (PCS) at 1.9 Ghz.

CDMA technology uses a feature called DSSS(Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) that enablesthe phone to keep communication from beingcrossed and to use one frequency channel bymultiple users in the same specific area. Thisresults in a 10-fold capacity increase whencompared with analog mode. In addition, featuressuch as soft / softer handoff, hard Handoff, anddynamic RF power control technologies combine toreduce call interruptions.

The Cellular and PCS CDMA networks consist ofMSO (Mobile Switching Office), BSC (Base StationController), BTS (Base station TransmissionSystem), and MS (Mobile Station). The followingtable lists some major CDMA standards.

* TSB -74: Protocol between an IS-95A system andANSI J-STD-008

1xRTT system receives twice as many subscribersin the wireless section as IS-95. Its battery life istwice as long as IS-95. High-speed datatransmission is also possible.

Designator Description

FCC RF Exposure InformationWARNING! Read this information before operatingthe phone.

In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission(FCC) of the United States, with its action in Report andOrder FCC 96-326, adopted an updated safety standardfor human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulatedtransmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with thesafety standard previously set by U.S, Canada andinternational standards bodies.

The design of this phone complies with the FCCguidelines and these international standards.

Bodily Contact During OperationThis device was tested for typical use with the back ofthe phone kept 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) from the body. Tocomply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimumseparation distance of 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) must bemaintained between the user’s body and the back of thephone, including the antenna, whether extended orretracted. Third-party belt-clips, holsters and similaraccessories containing metallic components should not

be used. Avoid the use of accessories that cannotmaintain 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) distance between the user’sbody and the back of the phone and have not beentested for compliance with FCC RF exposure limits.

Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna(Optional, if available.)

A minimum separation distance of 8 inches (20 cm) mustbe maintained between the user / bystander and thevehicle-mounted external antenna to satisfy FCC RFexposure requirements. For more information about RFexposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.

CautionUse only the supplied and approved antenna. Use ofunauthorized antennas or modifications could impair callquality, damage the phone, void your warranty and/orresult in violation of FCC regulations.

Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If adamaged antenna comes in contact with the skin aminor burn may result. Contact your local dealer for areplacement antenna.

TIA(Telecommunications IndustryAssociation) Safety InformationThe following is the complete TIA Safety Informationfor wireless handheld phones.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal

Your wireless handheld portable phone is a lowpower radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON,it receives and also sends out Radio Frequency (RF)signals. In August, 1996, the Federal CommunicationsCommissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelineswith safety levels for handheld wireless phones.Those guidelines are consistent with the safetystandards previously set by both U.S. andinternational standards bodies:● ANSI C95.1 (1992) * ● NCRP Report 86 (1986) ● ICNIRP (1996)● Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 1999.

Those standards were based on comprehensive andperiodic evaluations of the relevant scientificliterature. For example, over 120 scientists,engineers, and physicians from universities,government health agencies, and industry reviewedthe available body of research to develop the ANSIStandard (C95.1).

The design of your phone complies with the FCCguidelines, IC Regulations (and those standards).

Antenna Care

Use only the supplied or an approved replacementantenna. Unauthorised antennas, modifications, orattachments could damage the phone and mayviolate FCC regulations.

Phone Operation

NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you wouldany other telephone with the antenna pointed up andover your shoulder.

Safety

62

Safety

Tips on Efficient Operation

For your phone to operate most efficiently:

Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when thephone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects callquality and may cause the phone to operate at ahigher power level than otherwise needed.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use ofwireless phones in the areas where you drive andalways obey them. Also, if using your phone whiledriving, 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 so require.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded fromRF signals. However, certain electronic equipmentmay not be shielded against the RF signals from yourwireless phone.

Pacemakers

The Health Industry Manufacturers Associationrecommends that a minimum separation of six inchesbe maintained between a handheld wireless phoneand a pacemaker to avoid potential interference withthe pacemaker. These recommendations areconsistent with the independent research by andrecommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with Pacemakers:● Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six

inches from their pacemaker when the phone isturned 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 withsome hearing aids. In the event of such interference,you may want to consult your service provider (orcall the customer service line to discussalternatives.) Optional for each phone manufacturer.

63

Safety

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consultthe manufacturer of your device to determine if it isadequately shielded from external RF energy. Yourphysician may be able to assist you in obtaining thisinformation.

Health Care Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when anyregulations posted in these areas instruct you to doso. Hospitals or health care facilities may useequipment that could be sensitive to external RFenergy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed orinadequately shielded electronic systems in motorvehicles. Check with the manufacturer or itsrepresentative regarding your vehicle. You shouldalso consult the manufacturer of any equipment thathas been added to your vehicle.

Posted Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in any facility where postednotices so require.

Aircraft

FCC and Transport Canada regulations prohibit usingyour phone while in the air. Switch OFF your phonebefore boarding an aircraft.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn yourphone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areasposted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs andinstructions.

Potentially Explosive Atmosphere

Turn your phone OFF when in any area with apotentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs andinstructions. Sparks in such areas could cause anexplosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere areoften, but not always marked clearly. Potential areasmay include: fueling areas (such as gasoline stations);below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer orstorage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleumgas (such as propane or butane); areas where the aircontains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust,or metal powders); and any other area where you wouldnormally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Warning! Important SafetyInformation

Avoiding hearing damage

Permanent hearing loss may occur if you use yourphone and/or headset at a high volume. Set the volumeto a safe level. You can adapt over time to a highervolume of sound that may sound normal but can bedamaging to your hearing. If you experience ringing inyour ears or muffled speech, stop listening and haveyour hearing checked. The louder the volume, the lesstime is required before your hearing could be affected.Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:● Limit the amount of time you use your phone

and/or headset at high volume.● Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy

surroundings.● Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people

speaking near you.

For information about how to set a maximum volumelimit on your phone, see the features guide for yourphone.

Using your phone safely

Use of your phone while operating a vehicle is notrecommended and is illegal in some areas. Be carefuland attentive while driving. Stop using your phone ifyou find it disruptive or distracting while operating anytype of vehicle or performing any other activity thatrequires your full attention.

FDA Consumer UpdateThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration’sCenter for Devices and RadiologicalHealth Consumer Update on MobilePhones:

1. Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?

The available scientific evidence does not show thatany health problems are associated with usingwireless phones. There is no proof, however, thatwireless phones are absolutely safe. Wirelessphones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF)in the microwave range while being used. They alsoemit very low levels of RF when in the Main MenuScreen. Whereas high levels of RF can producehealth effects (by heating tissue), exposure to lowlevel RF that does not produce heating effectscauses no known adverse health effects. Manystudies of low level RF exposures have not found anybiological effects. Some studies have suggested thatsome biological effects may occur, but such findingshave not been confirmed by additional research. Insome cases, other researchers have had difficulty inreproducing those studies, or in determining thereasons for inconsistent results.

2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety ofwireless phones?

Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety ofradiation-emitting consumer products such aswireless phones before they can be sold, as it doeswith new drugs or medical devices. However, theagency has authority to take action if wirelessphones are shown to emit radiofrequency energy(RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such acase, the FDA could require the manufacturers ofwireless phones to notify users of the health hazardand to repair, replace, or recall the phones so thatthe hazard no longer exists.

Although the existing scientific data do not justifyFDA regulatory actions, the FDA has urged thewireless phone industry to take a number of steps,including the following:

● Support needed research into possible biologicaleffects of RF of the type emitted by wireless phones;

● Design wireless phones in a way that minimizesany RF exposure to the user that is not necessaryfor device function; and

69

Safety

● Cooperate in providing users of wireless phoneswith the best possible information on possibleeffects of wireless phone use on human health.

The FDA belongs to an interagency working group ofthe federal agencies that have responsibility fordifferent aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinatedefforts at the federal level. The following agenciesbelong to this working group:● National Institute for Occupational Safety and

Health● Environmental Protection Agency

● Occupational Safety and Health Administration

● National Telecommunications and InformationAdministration

The National Institutes of Health participates in someinteragency working group activities, as well.

The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities forwireless phones with the Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC). All phones that are sold in theUnited States must comply with FCC safetyguidelines that limit RF exposure.

The FCC relies on the FDA and other health agenciesfor safety questions about wireless phones.

The FCC also regulates the base stations that thewireless phone networks rely upon. While thesebase stations operate at higher power than do thewireless phones themselves, the RF exposures thatpeople get from these base stations are typicallythousands of times lower than those they can getfrom wireless phones. Base stations are thus not thesubject of the safety questions discussed in thisdocument.

3. What kinds of phones are the subject of thisupdate?

The term “wireless phone” refers here to handheldwireless phones with built-in antennas, often called“cell”, “mobile”, or “PCS” phones. These types ofwireless phones can expose the user to measurableradiofrequency energy (RF) because of the shortdistance between the phone and the user’s head.These RF exposures are limited by FCC safetyguidelines that were developed with the advice ofthe FDA and other federal health and safetyagencies. When the phone is located at greaterdistances from the user, the exposure to RF isdrastically lower because a person's RF exposuredecreases rapidly with increasing distance from the

source. The so called “cordless phones,” whichhave a base unit connected to the telephone wiringin a house, typically operate at far lower powerlevels, and thus produce RF exposures far below theFCC safety limits.

4. What are the results of the research done already?

The research done thus far has produced conflictingresults, and many studies have suffered from flaws intheir research methods. Animal experimentsinvestigating the effects of radiofrequency energy(RF) exposures characteristic of wireless phoneshave yielded conflicting results that often cannot berepeated in other laboratories. A few animal studies,however, have suggested that low levels of RF couldaccelerate the development of cancer in laboratoryanimals. However, many of the studies that showedincreased tumor development used animals that hadbeen genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposedto develop cancer in the absence of RF exposure.Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22hours per day. These conditions are not similar to theconditions under which people use wireless phones,so we don’t know with certainty what the results of

such studies mean for human health. Three largeepidemiology studies have been published sinceDecember 2000. Between them, the studiesinvestigated any possible association between theuse of wireless phones and primary brain cancer,glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors ofthe brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or othercancers. None of the studies demonstrated theexistence of any harmful health effects from wirelessphone RF exposures. However, none of the studiescan answer questions about long-term exposures,since the average period of phone use in thesestudies was around three years.

5. What research is needed to decide whether RFexposure from wireless phones poses a healthrisk?

A combination of laboratory studies andepidemiological studies of people actually usingwireless phones would provide some of the data thatare needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies couldbe completed in a few years. However, very largenumbers of animals would be needed to providereliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if oneexists. Epidemiological studies can provide data that

Safety

70

Safety

71

Safety

is directly applicable to human populations, but 10 ormore years follow-up may be needed to provideanswers about some health effects, such as cancer.This is because the interval between the time ofexposure to a cancer-causing agent and the timetumors develop — if they do — may be many, manyyears. The interpretation of epidemiological studiesis hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RFexposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones.Many factors affect this measurement, such as theangle at which the phone is held, or which model ofphone is used.

6. What is the FDA doing to find out more about thepossible health effects of wireless phone RF?

The FDA is working with the U.S. National ToxicologyProgram and with groups of investigators around theworld to ensure that high priority animal studies areconducted to address important questions about theeffects of exposure to radio frequency energy (RF).The FDA has been a leading participant in the WorldHealth Organization International ElectromagneticFields (EMF) Project since its inception in 1996. Aninfluential result of this work has been thedevelopment of a detailed agenda of research needs

that has driven the establishment of new researchprograms around the world. The project has alsohelped develop a series of public informationdocuments on EMF issues. The FDA and the CellularTelecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)have a formal Cooperative Research andDevelopment Agreement (CRADA) to do research onwireless phone safety. The FDA provides thescientific oversight, obtaining input from experts ingovernment, industry, and academic organizations.CTIA-funded research is conducted throughcontracts with independent investigators. The initialresearch will include both laboratory studies andstudies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will alsoinclude a broad assessment of additional researchneeds in the context of the latest researchdevelopments around the world.

7. How can I find out how much radio frequencyenergy exposure I can get by using my wirelessphone?

All phones sold in the United States must complywith Federal Communications Commission (FCC)guidelines that limit radio frequency energy (RF)exposures. The FCC established these guidelines inconsultation with the FDA and the other federalhealth and safety agencies. The FCC limit for RFexposure from wireless telephones is set at aSpecific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts perkilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent withthe safety standards developed by the Institute ofElectrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and theNational Council on Radiation Protection andMeasurement. The exposure limit takes intoconsideration the body’s ability to remove heat fromthe tissues that absorb energy from the wirelessphone and is set well below levels known to haveeffects. Manufacturers of wireless phones mustreport the RF exposure level for each model of phoneto the FCC. The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions for locating the FCCidentification number on your phone so you can findyour phone’s RF exposure level in the online listing.

8. What has the FDA done to measure the radiofrequency energy coming from wireless phones?

The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers(IEEE) is developing a technical standard formeasuring the radio frequency energy (RF) exposurefrom wireless phones and other wireless handsetswith the participation and leadership of FDAscientists and engineers. The standard,“Recommended Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the HumanBody Due to Wireless Communications Devices:Experimental Techniques,” sets forth the firstconsistent test methodology for measuring the rateat which RF is deposited in the heads of wirelessphone users. The test method uses a tissue-simulating model of the human head. StandardizedSAR test methodology is expected to greatly improvethe consistency of measurements made at differentlaboratories on the same phone. SAR is themeasurement of the amount of energy absorbed intissue, either by the whole body or a small part of thebody. It is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) ofmatter. This measurement is used to determinewhether a wireless phone complies with safetyguidelines.

9. What steps can I take to reduce my exposure toradio frequency energy from my wireless phone?

If there is a risk from these products — and at thispoint we do not know that there is — it is probablyvery small. But if you are concerned about avoidingeven potential risks, you can take a few simple stepsto minimize your exposure to radio frequency energy(RF). Since time is a key factor in how muchexposure a person receives, reducing the amount oftime spent using a wireless phone will reduce RFexposure. If you must conduct extendedconversations by wireless phone every day, youcould place more distance between your body andthe source of the RF, since the exposure level dropsoff dramatically with distance. For example, youcould use a headset and carry the wireless phoneaway from your body or use a wireless phoneconnected to a remote antenna. Again, the scientificdata do not demonstrate that wireless phones areharmful. But if you are concerned about the RFexposure from these products, you can usemeasures like those described above to reduce yourRF exposure from wireless phone use.

10. What about children using wireless phones?

The scientific evidence does not show a danger tousers of wireless phones, including children andteenagers. If you want to take steps to lowerexposure to radio frequency energy (RF), themeasures described above would apply to childrenand teenagers using wireless phones. Reducing thetime of wireless phone use and increasing thedistance between the user and the RF source willreduce RF exposure. Some groups sponsored byother national governments have advised thatchildren be discouraged from using wireless phonesat all. For example, the government in the UnitedKingdom distributed leaflets containing such arecommendation in December 2000. They noted thatno evidence exists that using a wireless phonecauses brain tumors or other ill effects. Theirrecommendation to limit wireless phone use bychildren was strictly precautionary; it was not basedon scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.

11. What about wireless phone interference withmedical equipment?

Radio frequency energy (RF) from wireless phonescan interact with some electronic devices. For thisreason, the FDA helped develop a detailed testmethod to measure electromagnetic interference(EMI) of implanted cardiac pacemakers anddefibrillators from wireless telephones. This testmethod is now part of a standard sponsored by theAssociation for the Advancement of Medicalinstrumentation (AAMI). The final draft, a joint effortby the FDA, medical device manufacturers, and manyother groups, was completed in late 2000. Thisstandard will allow manufacturers to ensure thatcardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe fromwireless phone EMI. The FDA has tested hearingaids for interference from handheld wireless phonesand helped develop a voluntary standard sponsoredby the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers(IEEE). This standard specifies test methods andperformance requirements for hearing aids andwireless phones so that no interference occurswhen a person uses a “compatible” phone and a“compatible” hearing aid at the same time. Thisstandard was approved by the IEEE in 2000. The FDA

continues to monitor the use of wireless phones forpossible interactions with other medical devices.Should harmful interference be found to occur, theFDA will conduct testing to assess the interferenceand work to resolve the problem.

Consumer Information on SAR (Specific Absorption Rate)

This Model Phone Meets the Government’sRequirements for Exposure to Radio Waves. Yourwireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. Itis designed and manufactured not to exceed theemission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)energy set by the Federal CommunicationsCommission of the U.S. Government. These limitsare part of comprehensive guidelines and establishpermitted levels of RF energy for the generalpopulation. The guidelines are based on standardsthat were developed by independent scientificorganizations through periodic and thoroughevaluation of scientific studies. The standardsinclude a substantial safety margin designed toassure the safety of all persons, regardless of ageand health.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phonesemploys a unit of measurement known as theSpecific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit setby the FCC/ICis 1.6 W/kg*. Tests for SAR areconducted using standard operating positionsspecified by the FCC with the phone transmitting at

its highest certified power level in all testedfrequency bands. Although SAR is determined atthe highest certified power level, the actual SARlevel of the phone while operating can be wellbelow the maximum value. Because the phone isdesigned to operate at multiple power levels to useonly the power required to reach the network, ingeneral, the closer you are to a wireless basestation antenna, the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to thepublic, it must be tested and certified to the FCCthat it does not exceed the limit established by thegovernment-adopted requirement for safe exposure.The tests are performed in positions and locations(e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as requiredby the FCC for each model.

The highest SAR value for this model phone whentested for use at the ear is 0.769 W/kg and whenworn on the body, as described in this user guide, is0.780 W/kg (body-worn measurements differ amongphone models, depending upon availableaccessories and FCC/IC requirements).
