Important Safety Precautions
Read these simple guidelines. 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

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

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.
3
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.
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. An emergency call can be made only within a
service area. For an emergency call, make sure that
you are within a service area and that the phone is
turned on.

Technical Details
Technical Details
The LG 285 is a trimode 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.
Also, the LG 285 works on Advanced
Mobile Phone Service (Amps). Since
this phone operates on these three
Wireless networks the call fail rate is
less than on a conventional dual-mode
or single-mode phone.
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).
* TSB -74: Protocol between an IS-95A system
and ANSI J-STD-008
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.

standards.

FCC RF Exposure
Information
WARNING! Read this
information before operating the
phone.
In August 1996, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
of the United States, with its action
in Report and Order FCC 96-326,
adopted an updated safety
standard for human exposure to
Radio Frequency (RF)
electromagnetic energy emitted by
FCC regulated transmitters. Those
guidelines are consistent with the
safety standard previously set by
U.S, Canada and international
standards bodies.
The design of this phone complies
with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards.
Bodily Contact During
Operation
This device was tested for typical
use with the back of the phone
kept 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) from the
body. To comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 0.6 inches
(1.5 cm) must be 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 0.6 inches (1.5 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.
15
Technical Details
Vehicle-Mounted
External Antenna
(Optional, if available.)
A minimum separation distance of
8 inches (20 cm) must be
maintained between the user /
bystander and the vehicle-mounted
external antenna to satisfy FCC RF
exposure requirements. For more
information about RF exposure,
visit the FCC website at
www.fcc.gov.
Caution
Use only the supplied and
approved antenna. Use of
unauthorized antennas or
modifications could impair call
quality, damage the phone, void
your warranty and/or result in
violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the phone with a
damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes in contact with the
skin a minor burn may result.
Contact your local dealer for a
replacement antenna.
