Only if the steps are the same as on the 8300.

1. Press menu
2. Press "0" seven times
3. Scroll to & choose Network select
3a. Choose Mode Preference
4. Choose 1X Only, then OK, then press END.

They actually changed how to get into the service menu on the newer LG's. Just replace the first step with this and you should be all set..

1. Dial ##PROGRAM8550 (##77647268550) and press Send
