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. 
2. When available, use a hands-free
device. A number of hands-free
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. 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. 
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.
5. Don’t take notes or look up
phone numbers while driving. If
you are reading an address book
or business card, or writing a
“to-do” list while driving a car,
you are not watching where you
are going. It is common sense.
Do not get caught in a
dangerous situation because you
are reading or writing and not
paying attention to the road or
nearby vehicles.
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

							Safety

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
numbers away. Dial 911 or other
local emergency number in the
case of fire, traffic accident, road
hazard, or medical emergency.
Remember, it’s a free call on your
wireless phone! 
9. Use your wireless phone to help
others in emergencies. Your
wireless phone provides you a
perfect opportunity to be a
“Good Samaritan” in your
community. If you see an auto
accident, crime in progress or
other serious emergency wherelives 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 non-emergency
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. 
The above tips are meant as
general guidelines. Before deciding
to use your mobile device while
operating a vehicle, it is
recommended that you consult
your applicable jurisdiction’s local
laws or other regulations regarding
such use. Such laws or other
regulations may prohibit or

otherwise restrict the manner in
which a driver may use his or her
phone while operating a vehicle.
7. 11 Warranty Laws
The following laws govern
warranties that arise in retail sales
of consumer goods:
The California Song-Beverly
Consumer Warranty Act [CC
§§1790 et seq],
The California Uniform
Commercial Code, Division Two
[Com C §§2101 et seq], and
The federal Magnuson-Moss
Warranty Federal Trade
Commission Improvement Act
[15 USC §§2301 et seq; 16
CFR Parts 701– 703]. A typical
Magnuson-Moss Act warranty is
a written promise that the
product is free of defects or a
written promise to refund, repair,
or replace defective goods. [See
15 USC §2301(6).] Remedies
include damages for failing to
honor a written warranty or
service contract or for violating
disclosure provisions. [See 15
USC §2310(d).] Except for somelabeling and disclosure
requirements, the federal Act
does not preempt state law. [See
15 USC §2311.]
The Consumer Warranty Act does
not affect the rights and
obligations of parties under the
state Uniform Commercial Code,
except the provisions of the Act
prevail over provisions of the
Commercial Code when they
conflict. [CC §1790.3.]
For purposes of small claims
actions, this course will focus on
rights and duties under the state
laws.

Technical Details
Modifications not expressly
approved by the manufacturer
could void the user’s authority to
operated the equipment under FCC
rules. 
Technical Details
The LG Cosmos™3is an all digital
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.
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 (BaseStation 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.
The following table lists some major
CDMA 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
both U.S. and international
standards bodies. The design of
this phone complies with the FCCguidelines and these international
standards.
Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for typical
use with the back of the phone
kept 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) from the
body. To comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 0.78 inches
(2.0 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
0.78 inches (2.0 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.
Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna 
(Optional, if available.)
To satisfy FCC RF exposure
requirements, keep 8 inches (20
cm) between the user/ bystander
and vehicle-mounted external
antenna. For more information
about RF exposure, visit the FCC
website at www.fcc.gov.
Caution
Use only the supplied antenna. Use
of unauthorized antennas (or
modifications to the antenna) could
impair call quality, damage the
phone, void your warranty and/or
violate FCC regulations.
Don't use the phone with a damaged
antenna. A damaged antenna couldcause a minor skin burn. 
Contact your local dealer for a
replacement antenna.

This phone has been tested and
rated for use with hearing aids for
some of the wireless technologies
that it uses.

wireless technologies used in this
phone that have not been tested
yet for use with hearing aids.
It is important to try the different
features of this phone thoroughly
and in different locations, using
your hearing aid or cochlear
implant, to determine if you hear
any interfering noise.
