LG Revere 3 Instruction Manual

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 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 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.

Information to User
This equipment has been tested 
and found to comply with the 
limits for a Class B digital device, 
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC 
Rules. These limits are designed 
to provide reasonable protection 
against harmful interference in a

the instructions, may cause 
harmful interference to radio 
communications. 
However, there is no guarantee 
that interference will not occur 
in a particular installation. If 
this equipment does cause 
harmful interference to radio or 
television reception, which can 
be determined by turning the 
equipment off and on, the user is 
encouraged to try to correct the 
interference by one or more of the 
following measures: 
-  
Reorient or relocate the receiving

Technical Details
The VN170 is 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 (Base 
Station Transmission System), and 
MS (Mobile Station).

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.

Bodily Contact During 
Operation
This device was tested for typical 
use with the back of the phone 
kept 0.78 inches (2 cm) from 
the body. To comply with FCC RF 
exposure requirements, a minimum 
separation distance of 0.78 
inches (2 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 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 could cause a minor skin 
burn. 
Contact your local dealer for a 
replacement antenna.
