Flick  
Pinch and Stretch  
A flick is a single finger  
down moved rapidly in  
any direction and ends  
with the finger up. A  
flick can follow a pan  
gesture.  
A flick gesture moves  
content from one  
area to another  
area. The controls  
or the application  
can be configured  
to support specific  
flicking directional  
behavior. This can be  
horizontal, vertical,  
or another specified  
direction. If horizontal  
or vertical paths are  
specified, movements  
in other directions  
will be converted into  
vertical or horizontal  
movement.  
Pinch and stretch are  
opposites of each other.  
These gestures are used  
often with maps when  
zooming in and out.  
Pinching is achieved  
by moving two fingers  
downward on the  
screen and bringing  
them together. This  
zooms in on content,  
while centering the  
image to the center  
of the fingers. For  
stretching, the fingers

In August, 1996, the Federal  
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as  
you would any other telephone with  
the antenna pointed up and over your  
shoulder.  
Communications Commissions (FCC)  
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety  
levels for handheld wireless phones.  
Those guidelines are consistent with the  
safety standards previously set by both U.S.  
and international standards bodies:  
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *  
NCRP Report 86 (1986)  
ICNIRP (1996)  
Tips on Efficient Operation  
For your phone to operate most efficiently:  
Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily  
when the phone is in use. Contact with  
the antenna affects call quality and may  
cause the phone to operate at a higher  
power level than otherwise needed.  
Those standards were based on  
comprehensive and periodic evaluations  
of the relevant scientific literature. For  
example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and  
physicians from universities, government  
health agencies, and industry reviewed the  
available body of research to develop the  
ANSI Standard (C95.1).  
Driving  
Check the laws and regulations on the use  
of wireless phones in the areas where you  
drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your

Most modern electronic equipment is  
shielded from RF signals.  
Other Medical Devices  
However, certain electronic equipment  
may not be shielded against the RF signals  
from your wireless phone.  
If you use any other personal medical  
device, consult the manufacturer of your  
device to determine if they are adequately  
shielded from external RF energy. Your  
physician may be able to assist you in  
obtaining this information.  
Pacemakers  
The Health Industry Manufacturers  
Association recommends that a minimum  
separation of six (6’) inches be maintained  
between a handheld wireless phone and a  
pacemaker to avoid potential interference  
with the pacemaker.  
Health Care Facilities  
Turn your phone OFF in health care  
facilities when any regulations posted in  
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals  
or health care facilities may use equipment  
that could be sensitive to external RF  
energy.  
These recommendations are consistent  
with the independent research by and  
recommendations of Wireless Technology  
Research. Persons with pacemakers:  
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more  
than six inches from their pacemaker  
when the phone is turned ON;  
Should not carry the phone in a breast  
pocket.  
Should use the ear opposite the

1. Do wireless phones pose a health  
hazard?  
The available scientific evidence does  
not show that any health problems  
are associated with using wireless  
phones. There is no proof, however,  
that wireless phones are absolutely  
safe. Wireless phones emit low levels  
of radio frequency energy (RF) in the  
microwave range while being used. They  
also emit very low levels of RF when in  
the standby mode. Whereas high levels  
of RF can produce health effects (by  
heating tissue), exposure to low level RF  
that does not produce heating effects  
causes no known adverse health effects.  
Many studies of low level RF exposures  
have not found any biological effects.  
Some studies have suggested that  
some biological effects may occur, but  
such findings have not been confirmed  
by additional research. In some cases,  
other researchers have had difficulty  
in reproducing those studies, or in  
determining the reasons for inconsistent  
results.  
Do not immerse your phone in water. If  
this happens, turn it off immediately and  
remove the battery. If the phone does not  
work, take it to an LG Authorized Service  
Centre.  
Do not paint your phone.  
The data saved in your phone might be  
deleted due to careless use, repair of the  
phone, or upgrade of the software. Please  
backup your important phone numbers.  
(Ring tones, text messages, voice  
messages, pictures, and videos could  
also be deleted.) The manufacturer is not  
liable for damage due to the loss of data.  
When you use the phone in public places,  
set the ring tone to vibration so as not to  
disturb others.

aspects of RF safety to ensure  
coordinated efforts at the federal level.  
The following agencies belong to this  
working group:  
review the safety of radiation emitting  
consumer products such as wireless  
phones before they can be sold, as it  
does with new drugs or medical devices.  
However, the agency has authority to  
take action if wireless phones are shown  
to emit radio frequency energy (RF) at  
a level that is hazardous to the user. In  
such a case, the FDA could require the  
manufacturers of wireless phones to  
notify users of the health hazard and to  
repair, replace, or recall the phones so  
that the hazard no longer exists.

including the following:  
The National Institutes of Health  
participates in some interagency working  
group activities, as well.  
The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities  
for wireless phones with the Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC). All  
phones that are sold in the United States  
must comply with FCC safety guidelines  
that limit RF exposure. The FCC relies on the  
FDA and other health agencies for safety  
questions about wireless phones.  
The FCC also regulates the base stations  
that the wireless phone networks rely  
upon. While these base stations operate at  
higher power than do the wireless phones  
themselves, the RF exposures that people  
get from these base stations are typically  
thousands of times lower than those they

experiments investigating the effects of  
radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures  
characteristic of wireless phones have  
yielded conflicting results that often  
cannot be repeated in other laboratories.  
A few animal studies, however, have  
suggested that low levels of RF could  
accelerate the development of cancer  
in laboratory animals. However, many of  
the studies that showed increased tumor  
development used animals that had  
been genetically engineered or treated  
with cancer causing chemicals so as to  
be predisposed to develop cancer in the  
absence of RF exposure. Other studies  
exposed the animals to RF for up to 22  
hours per day. These conditions are not  
similar to the conditions under which  
people use wireless phones, so we don’t  
know with certainty what the results of  
such studies mean for human health.  
Three large epidemiology studies have  
been published since December 2000.  
Between them, the studies investigated  
any possible association between the  
use of wireless phones and primary brain  
cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic  
neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary  
gland, leukemia, or other cancers.  
3. What kinds of phones are the subject  
of this update?  
The term ‘wireless phonerefers here  
to handheld wireless phones with  
built-in antennas, often called ‘cell,  
‘mobile, or ‘PCSphones. These types of  
wireless phones can expose the user to  
measurable radiofrequency energy (RF)  
because of the short distance between  
the phone and the user’s head. These  
RF exposures are limited by FCC safety  
guidelines that were developed with  
the advice of the FDA and other federal  
health and safety agencies. When the  
phone is located at greater distances  
from the user, the exposure to RF is  
drastically lower because a person’s  
RF exposure decreases rapidly with  
increasing distance from the source. The  
so-called ‘cordless phones,which have  
a base unit connected to the telephone  
wiring in a house, typically operate at far  
lower power levels, and thus produce  
RF exposures far below the FCC safety  
limits.  
None of the studies demonstrated the  
existence of any harmful health effects  
from wireless phone RF exposures.  
4. What are the results of the research  
done already?  
The research done thus far has  
produced conflicting results, and  
many studies have suffered from flaws  
in their research methods. Animal

more about the possible health effects  
of wireless phone RF?  
The FDA is working with the U.S.  
National Toxicology Program and  
with groups of investigators around  
the world to ensure that high priority  
animal studies are conducted to address  
important questions about the effects of  
exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF).  
The FDA has been a leading participant  
in the World Health Organization  
5. What research is needed to decide  
whether RF exposure from wireless  
phones poses a health risk?  
A combination of laboratory studies  
and epidemiological studies of people  
actually using wireless phones would  
provide some of the data that are  
needed. Lifetime animal exposure  
studies could be completed in a few  
years. However, very large numbers of  
animals would be needed to provide  
reliable proof of a cancer promoting  
effect if one exists. Epidemiological  
studies can provide data that is directly  
applicable to human populations, but 10  
or more years follow-up may be needed  
to provide answers about some health  
effects, such as cancer.  
This is because the interval between the  
time of exposure to a cancer-causing  
agent and the time tumors develop  
- if they do may be many, many years.  
The interpretation of epidemiological  
studies is hampered by difficulties in  
measuring actual RF exposure during  
day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many  
factors affect this measurement, such as  
the angle at which the phone is held, or  
which model of phone is used.  
International Electromagnetic Fields  
(EMF) Project since its inception in  
1996. An influential result of this  
work has been the development of  
a detailed agenda of research needs  
that has driven the establishment of  
new research programs around the  
world. The project has also helped  
develop a series of public information  
documents on EMF issues. The FDA  
and the Cellular Telecommunications &  
Internet Association (CTIA) have a formal  
Cooperative Research and Development  
Agreement (CRADA) to do research on  
wireless phone safety. The FDA provides  
the scientific oversight, obtaining

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 for measuring the  
radiofrequency energy (RF) exposure  
from wireless phones and other  
7. How can I find out how much  
radiofrequency energy exposure I can  
get by using my wireless phone?  
All phones sold in the United  
States must comply with Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC)  
guidelines that limit radiofrequency  
energy (RF) exposures.  
The FCC established these guidelines in  
consultation with the FDA and the other  
federal health and safety agencies. The  
FCC limit for RF exposure from wireless  
telephones is set at a Specific Absorption  
Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram  
(1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent  
with the safety standards developed by  
the Institute of Electrical and Electronic  
Engineering (IEEE) and the National  
Council on Radiation Protection and  
Measurement. The exposure limit takes  
into consideration the body’s ability  
to remove heat from the tissues that  
absorb energy from the wireless phone  
and is set well below levels known to  
have effects. Manufacturers of wireless  
phones must report the RF exposure  
level for each model of phone to the  
FCC. The FCC website

and leadership of FDA scientists and  
engineers. The standard, ‘Recommended  
Practice for Determining the Spatial-  
Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)  
in the Human Body Due to Wireless  
Communications Devices: Experimental  
Techniques,sets forth the first consistent  
test methodology for measuring the  
rate at which RF is deposited in the  
heads of wireless phone users. The test  
method uses a tissuesimulating model  
of the human head. Standardized  
SAR test methodology is expected  
to greatly improve the consistency  
of measurements made at different  
laboratories on the same phone. SAR  
is the measurement of the amount of  
energy absorbed in tissue, either by the  
whole body or a small part of the body.  
It is measured in watts/kg (or milliwatts/  
g) of matter. This measurement is used  
to determine whether a wireless phone  
complies with safety guidelines.

9. What steps can I take to reduce my  
exposure to radiofrequency energy  
from my wireless phone?  
including children and teenagers.  
If you want to take steps to lower  
exposure to radiofrequency energy  
(RF), the measures described above  
would apply to children and teenagers  
using wireless phones. Reducing  
the time of wireless phone use and  
increasing the distance between the  
user and the RF source will reduce RF  
exposure. Some groups sponsored  
by other national governments have  
advised that children be discouraged  
from using wireless phones at all.  
For example, the government in the  
United Kingdom distributed leaflets  
containing such a recommendation in  
December 2000. They noted that no  
evidence exists that using a wireless  
phone causes brain tumors or other ill  
effects. Their recommendation to limit  
wireless phone use by children was  
strictly precautionary; it was not based  
on scientific evidence that any health  
hazard exists.  
If there is a risk from these products  
- and at this point we do not know that  
there is - it is probably very small. But if  
you are concerned about avoiding even  
potential risks, you can take a few simple  
steps to minimize your exposure to  
radiofrequency energy (RF). Since time  
is a key factor in how much exposure a  
person receives, reducing the amount of  
time spent using a wireless phone will  
reduce RF exposure. If you must conduct  
extended conversations by wireless  
phone every day, you could place more  
distance between your body and the  
source of the RF, since the exposure level  
drops off dramatically with distance. For  
example, you could use a headset and  
carry the wireless phone away from your  
body or use a wireless phone connected  
to a remote antenna. Again, the scientific  
data do not demonstrate that wireless  
phones are harmful. But if you are

part of a standard sponsored by the  
Association for the Advancement of  
Medical instrumentation (AAMI). The  
final draft, a joint effort by the FDA,  
medical device manufacturers, and  
many other groups, was completed  
in late 2000. This standard will allow  
manufacturers to ensure that cardiac  
pacemakers and defibrillators are safe  
from wireless phone EMI. The FDA has  
tested hearing aids for interference  
from handheld wireless phones and

10 Driver Safety Tips  
Your wireless phone gives you the  
powerful ability to communicate by voice  
almost anywhere, anytime. An important  
responsibility accompanies the benefits of  
wireless phones, one that every user must  
uphold.  
When operating a car, driving is your first  
responsibility.  
When using your wireless phone behind  
the wheel of a car, practice good common  
sense and remember the following tips:  
84  
LG-C900B | User Guide  
 
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its  
features such as speed dial and redial.  
Carefully read your instruction manual  
and learn to take advantage of valuable  
features most phones offer, including  
automatic redial and memory. Also, work  
to memorize the phone keypad so you  
can use the speed dial function without  
taking your attention off the road.  
5. Do not take notes or look up phone  
numbers while driving. If you are reading  
an address book or business card, or  
writing a “to-dolist while driving a car,  
youarenotwatchingwhereyouaregoing.  
It is common sense. Don’t get caught in  
a dangerous situation because you are  
readingorwritingandnotpayingattention  
to the road or nearby vehicles.  
2. When available, use a handsfree device.  
A number of handsfree wireless phone  
accessories are readily available today.  
Whether you choose an installed  
mounted device for your wireless phone  
or a speaker phone accessory, take  
advantage of these devices if available  
to you.  
3. Position your wireless phone within easy  
reach. Make sure you place your wireless  
phone within easy reach and where you  
can reach it without removing your eyes  
from the road. If you get an incoming call  
at an inconvenient time, if possible, let  
your voicemail answer it for you.  
6. Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if  
possible, place calls when you are not  
moving or before pulling into traffic.  
Try to plan your calls before you begin  
your trip or attempt to coincide your  
calls with times you may be stopped  
at a stop sign, red light or otherwise  
stationary. But if you need to dial while  
driving, follow this simple tip — dial only  
a few numbers, check the road and your  
mirrors, then continue.  
7. Do not engage in stressful or emotional  
conversations that may be distracting.  
Stressful or emotional conversations  
and driving do not mix; they are  
distracting and even dangerous when  
you are behind the wheel of a car. Make  
people you are talking with aware you  
are driving and if necessary, suspend  
conversations which have the potential  
to divert your attention from the road.  
8. Use your wireless phone to call for  
help. Your wireless phone is one of  
the greatest tools you can own to  
protect yourself and your family in  
dangerous situations — with your  
phone at your side, help is only three  
4. Suspend conversations during hazardous  
driving conditions or situations. Let the  
person you are speaking with know you  
are driving; if necessary, suspend the call  
in heavy traffic or hazardous weather  
conditions. Rain, sleet, snow and ice can  
be hazardous, but so is heavy traffic. As  
a driver, your first responsibility is to pay  
attention to the road.  
85  
 
Safety Guidelines  
numbers away. Dial 911 or other local  
emergency number in the case of fire,  
traffic accident, road hazard or medical  
emergency. Remember, it is a free call on  
your wireless phone!  
Consumer Information on  
SAR  
(Specific Absorption Rate)  
9. Use your wireless phone to help others  
in emergencies. Your wireless phone  
provides you a perfect opportunity to be  
a “Good Samaritanin your community.  
If you see an auto accident, crime in  
progress or other serious emergency  
where lives are in danger, call 911 or  
other local emergency number, as you  
would want others to do for you.  
10. Call roadside assistance or a special  
wireless nonemergency assistance  
number when necessary. Certain  
situations you encounter while driving  
may require attention, but are not  
urgent enough to merit a call for  
emergency services. But you can still  
use your wireless phone to lend a  
hand. If you see a broken-down vehicle  
posing no serious hazard, a broken  
traffic signal, a minor traffic accident  
where no one appears injured or a  
vehicle. you know to be stolen, call  
roadside assistance or other special  
non-emergency wireless number.  
This Model Phone Meets the  
Governments Requirements  
for Exposure to Radio Waves.  
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter  
and receiver. It is designed and  
manufactured not to exceed the emission  
limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF)  
energy set by the Federal Communications  
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government.  
These limits are part of comprehensive  
guidelines and establish permitted levels  
of RF energy for the general population.  
The guidelines are based on standards that  
were developed by independent scientific  
organizations through periodic and  
thorough evaluation of scientific studies.  
The standards include a substantial safety  
margin designed to assure the safety of all  
persons, regardless of age and health.  
The exposure standard for wireless mobile  
phones employs a unit of measurement  
known as the Specific Absorption Rate,  
or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is  
1.6W/kg. *  
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard  
operating positions specified by the FCC  
with the phone transmitting at its highest  
certified power level in all tested frequency  
bands.  
For more information, please call to  
888-901-SAFE, or visit our website www.  
wow-com.com  
86  
LG-C900B | User Guide  
 
Although SAR is determined at the highest  
certified power level, the actual SAR level  
of the phone while operating can be well  
below the maximum value. Because the  
phone is designed to operate at multiple  
power levels to use only the power  
required to reach the network, in general,  
the closer you are to a wireless base station  
antenna, the lower the power output.  
Before a phone model is available for sale  
to the public, it must be tested and certified  
to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit  
established by the governmentadopted  
requirement for safe exposure. The tests  
are performed in positions and locations  
(e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as  
required by the FCC for each model.  
The highest SAR value for this model phone  
when tested for use at the ear is 0,67 W/kg  
and when worn on the body, as described  
in this user’s manual, is 0,54 W/kg.  
searching on FCC ID BEJC900K.  
Additional information on Specific  
Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on  
the Cellular Telecommunications Industry  
Association (CTIA) website at  
* In the United States and Canada, the  
SAR limit for mobile phones used by the  
public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged  
over one gram of tissue. The standard  
incorporates a substantial margin of  
safety to give additional protection  
for the public and to account for any  
variations in measurements.  
* Product meets current FCC & IC Radio  
Frequency Exposure Guidelines.  
FCC ID: BEJC900K  
IC ID: 2703C-C900B  
(Body-worn measurements differ among  
phones models, depending upon available  
accessories and FCC requirements.) While  
there may be differences between SAR  
levels of various phones and at various  
positions, they all meet the government  
requirement for safe exposure.  
The FCC has granted an Equipment  
Authorization for this model phone with  
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in  
compliance with the FCC RF emission  
guidelines. SAR information on this model  
phone is on file with the FCC and can be  
found under the Display Grant section
