Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained.
WARNING: Use only Virgin Mobile-approved or LG-approved batteries and chargers with your phone. The failure to use a Virgin Mobile-approved or LG-approved battery and charger may increase the risk that your phone will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce the battery‟s talk and standby times.
Tip: Watch your phone‟s battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of power.
Note: Your phone‟s battery should have enough charge for your phone to turn on and find a signal, set up your voicemail, and make a call. You should fully charge your battery as soon as possible.
Charge the Battery

TTY
A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to communicate by telephone.

Your phone and TTY device will connect via a special cable that plugs into your phone‟s headset jack. If this cable was not provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.
When establishing your Virgin Mobile service, please call Virgin Mobile Customer Service via the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing 7-1-1 and touching Talk. Then provide the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.

WARNING: 9-1-1 Emergency Calling Virgin Mobile recommends that TTY users make emergency calls by other means, including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 9-1-1 may be corrupted when received by public safety answering points (PSAPs), rendering some communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and the PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.
