Touch Screen tips

Here are some tips on how to navigate on your phone. Tap or touch – A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts and letters on the on-screen keyboard. Touch and hold – Touch and hold an item on the screen by touching it and not lifting your finger until an action occurs. For example, to open a contact's available options, touch and hold the contact in the Contacts list until the context menu opens. Drag – Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger, move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position. You can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them. Swipe or slide – To swipe or slide, quickly move your finger across the surface of the screen, without pausing when you first touch it (so you don’t drag an item instead). For example, you can slide the screen up or down to scroll through a list, or browse through the different Home screens by swiping from left to right (and vice versa). Double-tap – Double-tap to zoom on a webpage or a map. For example, quickly double-tap a section of a webpage to adjust that section to fit the width of the screen. You can also double-tap to zoom in and out after taking a picture (using the Camera), and when using Maps. Pinch-to-Zoom – Use your index finger and thumb in a pinching or spreading motion to zoom in or out when using the browser or Maps, or when browsing pictures. Rotate the screen – From many applications and menus, the orientation of the screen adjusts to the device's physical orientation.

NOTE:

• To select an item, touch the center of the icon.

• Do not press too hard; the touch screen is sensitive enough to pick up a

light, yet firm touch.

• Use the tip of your finger to touch the option you want. Be careful not to

touch any other keys.

About backing up and restoring smartphone data

It is recommended that you regularly create and save a backup file of your data, especially before updating any software. Maintaining a current backup file may allow you to recover smartphone data if your smartphone is lost, stolen, or corrupted by an unforeseen issue. This LG Backup application is supported between LG smartphones, other software or operating system versions. As a result, when you buy the new LG smartphone, you can restore the current phone data to your new phone. If you have the Backup application preloaded on your smartphone, you can backup and restore most of your smart phone data, including downloaded and preinstalled applications, LG Home screen, personal data and system settings. You may also:

• Perform a manual LG Backup of your smartphone data.

• Schedule automatic backups of your smartphone data.

• Restore your smartphone data.

> FileShare .

NOTE: Please note that the Backup function does not support the backup of User data & Media data (Picture/Video/Music). Please backup those files using the Media sync (MTP). Connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable and touch Media sync (MTP).

Warning! To protect against unexpected shutoff during backup or restore operations, due to insufficient battery power, you should always keep your battery fully charged.

About Wi-Fi Calling

Wi-Fi Calling can improve your coverage and allows you to make phone calls and send messages over a Wi-Fi network (when a Wi-Fi network is available). Unless your rate plan provides otherwise, Wi-Fi Calling minutes count the same as T-Mobile cellular calling minutes on your phone bill.

- To use Wi-Fi Calling, you must first turn on Wi-Fi, connect to a Wi-Fi network,

and then turn on Wi-Fi Calling.

- When the Wi-Fi Calling feature is on, your phone displays the Wi-Fi Calling

icon on the Status Bar.

- To stay on a Wi-Fi call, you must remain within range of the Wi-Fi network.

Your call will drop as you leave the Wi-Fi range. When your Wi-Fi signal weakens, your phone will beep and display a warning message alerting you that your call will drop if the signal gets weaker.

Wi-Fi Calling offers three connection options:

- Wi-Fi Preferred: All calls are made over an available Wi-Fi network. If there

are no available Wi-Fi networks calls are made over the cellular network.

- Cellular Network Preferred: All calls are made over the cellular network unless

the cellular network is not available, then calls are made over an available Wi-Fi network.

- Never use Cellular Network: All calls are made over an available Wi-Fi

network. If there are no available Wi-Fi networks, your calls will not connect.

Call barring – Lock incoming, outgoing or international calls. Call duration – View the duration of calls including Last call, All calls, Dialed

calls and Received calls.
