TTY Use

A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to communicate by telephone.

Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY device will connect via a special cable that plugs into your phone's headset jack. If this cable was not provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.

When establishing your wireless service, please call your service provider via the state Telecommunications Relay

Service (TRS) by first dialing 7 1 1 TALK . Then provide the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.


52

To turn TTY Mode on or off:

1.

Press from mode. (An informational message displays.)

IMPORTANT

NOTICE:

911 Emergency Calling

It is recommended that TTY users make emergency calls by other means, including

Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and 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.

Section 2D

Controlling Your Roaming Experience

In This Section

⽧ Understanding Roaming

⽧ Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

⽧ Using Call Guard

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re

off the available network. Your new dual band/tri-mode

LX-225 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.

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. Any time you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ). If you are roaming on an analog system, the roaming icon will display 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).

Note: You may pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Roaming on Other Digital Networks

When you’re roaming on 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 services.

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.

68 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Roaming on Analog Networks

When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar quality provided by other analog carriers today.

Although some features, such as data services, will be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are accustomed to network service, you may notice some of the following differences when using analog service:

䢇 You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, and dropped calls.

䢇 Some features which are standard on the available network, such as call waiting, data services, and direct international dialing, are 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 70.)

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.


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 wireless phone number.

2.

When you hear your voicemail greeting, press

*

.

3.

Enter your pass code at the prompt and follow the voice prompts.

When you return to the available network, voicemail notification will resume as normal.


Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Your phone allows you to control your roaming capabilities. By using the Roaming menu 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.


2.


3.

Scroll to Roaming and press OK .

4.

Scroll to Set Mode and press OK .

5.

To select an option, highlight it and press OK .

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

䡲 Home Only 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.


2.


3.

Scroll to Roaming and press OK .

4.

Scroll to Call Guard and press OK .

5.

Highlight On or Off and press OK .

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 sevendigit number and press TALK . (You can also initiate a call from the Contacts, Call History, or Messaging.)

2.

Select Roam Call ( 1 ) and press OK .


To answer incoming roaming calls with Call Guard on:

1.

Press . (A message will appear notifying you that roaming charges will apply.)

2.

Select Answer ( 1 ) and press OK .

Reminder: If the Call Guard feature is set to On, you need to take extra steps to make and receive roaming calls.

Getting Started With Data Services

With your LX-225 by LG and your wireless service, you are ready to start enjoying the advantages of data services. This section will help you learn the basics of using your data services, 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 user name is, you can easily find it on your ohone.

To find your User Name:

䊳 You can find your User name under the Phone Info option in your phone's Settings menu (Menu > Settings

> Phone Info > My Phone Number).

Part of getting the most out of your LX-225 by LG is learning how

the phone works and how to care for it. This section outlines performance and safety guidelines that help you understand the basic features of your phone’s operation.

Section 4A: Safety 181

Getting the Most Out of Your Reception

Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength

The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal strength in your area. Your phone informs you of the current signal strength by displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength icon.

The more bars displayed, the stronger the signal. If you’re inside a building, being near a window may give you better reception.

Understanding the Power Save Feature

If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a

Power Save feature is automatically activated. If your phone is active, it periodically rechecks service availability; you can also check it yourself by pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a message is displayed on the screen. When a signal is found, your phone returns to standby mode.

Understanding How Your Phone Operates

Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits Radio Frequency (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 Radio Frequency 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).

182 Section 4A: Safety

Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance

There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and maintaining safe, satisfactory service.

䢇

䢇

For optional call performance, please do not obstruct the internal antenna.

Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.

䢇

䢇

Speak directly into the mouthpiece.

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.

Note: For the best care of your phone, only authorized personnel should service your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.

Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to

Your Phone

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD TO

SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE

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 Radio Frequency

(RF) signals. However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment.


184

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.

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.

Section 4A: Safety

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, 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.

Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid

Device

Your phone has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility.

When some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices

(hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate.

The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobile phones, to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that are rated will have the rating on the box. Your LX-225 by LG has an M3 rating .

Note: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and may generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.

The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user's hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to successfully use a phone that has been tested and rated as Hearing Aid compatible. Trying


186 the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs. Should you experience interference when using your LX-225 with your hearing device, it is suggested that you promptly return the phone to the store. It is further suggested you experiment with multiple phones (even those not labeled with an M3 or M4) while in the retail store to find the one that works best with your hearing device

Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing aid device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from wireless phones.

Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience

With Your PM-225

One way to minimize interference is to set the phone's Display and

Keypad backlight settings to ensure the minimum time interval.

To ensure the minimum interference from your Main Display and/or keypad backlight, follow these steps:

1.

Press Menu (left softkey) to access the main menu.

2.

Select Settings ( 9 ).

3.

Scroll to Display and press

Caring for the Battery

Protecting Your Battery

The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.

䢇 Use only approved batteries and desktop chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may cause damage.

䢇 In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32º F to 113º F (0º C to 45º 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:

4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)

More than one month:

4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)


Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries

For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your service provider.

Special Note:

188 Section 4A: Safety

Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC Notice

FCC Notice

This phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop using the phone if such interference cannot be eliminated.

Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protections Association,

One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn.: Publication Sales

Division.

Cautions

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. Only use approved batteries, and chargers. The use of any unauthorized accessories may be dangerous and void the phone warranty if said accessories cause damage or a defect to the phone.

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.

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 Website at www.fcc.gov.


190

Specific Absorption Rates (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 LX-225 are:

AMPS mode (Part 22):

Head: 1.020 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.924

W/kg

CDMA mode (Part 22):

Head: 0.511

W/kg; Body-worn: 0.501

W/kg

PCS mode (Part 24):

Head: 0.996

W/kg; Body-worn: 0.539
