Safety Instructions

WWAARRNNIINNGG!!

To reduce the possibility of electric shock,

do not expose your phone to high humidity areas, such as

the bathroom, swimming pool, etc. Use only LG-approved

batteries and travel chargers to avoid the damage to the

phone. Using other batteries or chargers voids your

warranty and may cause an explosion. Do not use

batteries and travel chargers for the other purposes other

than their original purpose of using for the phone.

Always store your phone away from heat. Never store

your phone in settings that may expose it to temperatures

less than -20°C or greater than 50°C, such as outside

during a snowstorm or in your car on a hot day. Exposure

to excessive cold or heat will result in malfunction,

damage and/or catastrophic failure. Use caution when

using your phone near other electronic devices. RF

emissions from your mobile phone may affect nearby

inadequately shielded electronic equipment. You should

consult with manufacturers of any personal medical

devices such as pacemakers and hearing aids to determine

if they are susceptible to interference from your mobile

phone. Turn off your phone in a medical facility or at a

gas station.

Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will

cause the battery to explode.

IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!

(on page 78) before using your phone.

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 both U.S. and

international standards bodies.

The design of this phone complies with the FCC

guidelines and these international standards.

GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR PHONE

The Battery

The phone comes with a rechargeable battery. Keep

the battery charged while not in use in order to

maximize talk and standby time. The battery charge

level is shown at the top of the LCD screen.

Installing the Battery

To install the battery, insert the battery into the

opening on the back of the phone. Put the battery

cover on the battery and push it slightly upwards.

Removing the Battery

Turn the power off. While pressing the PUSH button

on the back of the phone, pull the battery cover

downwards and remove it. Then remove the battery

by pressing the upper area of it.

Note

It is important to fully charge the battery before

initial use of the phone.

GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR PHONE

Charging the Battery

To use the charger provided with your phone:

WARNING! Use only the charger provided with the

phone. Using any charger other than the one included

with the RD6500 may damage your phone or battery.

1. Plug the round end of the adapter into the

phone's charger jack and the other end into an

electrical outlet.

2. The charge time varies depending upon the

battery level. The maximum charge time for a fully

discharged battery is 3.5 hours.

Battery Charge Level

The battery charge level is shown at the top right of

the LCD screen. When the battery charge level

becomes low, the low battery sensor alerts you in

three ways: sounding an audible tone, blinking the

battery icon, and displaying LOW BATTERY

WARNING! If the battery charge level becomes

exceedingly low, the phone automatically switches off

and any function in progress is not saved.

Turning the Phone On and Off

Turning the Phone On

1. Install a charged battery or connect the phone to

an external power source such as a cigarette lighter

charger or hands-free car kit.

2. Press for a few seconds until the LCD screen

lights up.

Turning the Phone Off

1. Press and hold until the display turns off.

Signal Strength

Call quality depends on the signal strength in your

area. The signal strength is indicated on the screen

by the number of bars next to the signal strength

icon: The more bars, the better the signal strength. If

the signal quality is poor, move to an open area. If

you are in a building, the reception may be better

near a window.

Note

Like any other radio device, avoid any unnecessary

contact with the antenna while your phone is on.
