Getting Started
Installing the micro SIM card
Before you can start exploring your new phone,
you’ll need to set it up. The micro SIM card
tray eject button is a small round aperture just
above the tray door. To install a new micro

comes with the phone (or a thin pin) into the
eject button aperture and push gently but
firmly until the tray pops out. Then pull the
micro SIM card tray.

shown in the above image).
3 Insert the micro SIM card tray.
%
NOTE
Turn the phone off before inserting or removing
the micro SIM card.
%
Warning
Always be careful when removing the
micro SIM card tray. The ejection tool is
very sharp.
Charging your phone
1 Connect the wall adapter and USB cable as
shown below. The USB symbol on the USB
cable should face toward you.
2 Plug the USB cable (as shown below) into
the phone's Charger/Accessory Port. Make
sure the USB symbol is facing upwards.
Always unplug the charger from the wall
socket after the phone is fully charged to
save unnecessary power consumption of
the charger.
15
Getting Started
%
NOTE
The battery must be fully charged
initially to improve battery lifetime.
Your phone has an internal antenna. Be
careful not to scratch or damage this
rear area, as that will cause loss of
performance.
When the battery becomes fully
discharged and you connect the phone
to a charger, the Notification LED lights
will blink. This is normal operation for
a completely discharged battery to
prevent overflowing current because the
phone is designed to provide reasonable
protection against damage to the battery.
Once the battery has enough charge, the
screen will turn on and display a battery
image.
%
Warning
Use only LG-approved chargers, batteries
and cables. When using unapproved
chargers or cables, it may cause slow
charging. Or, unapproved chargers or cables
can cause the battery to explode or damage
the device, which are not covered by the
warranty.
Charging may be interrupted when you
use a USB hub, which is not retained
rated voltage.
%
NOTE
Non-Removable Battery
Your phone has an internal, rechargeable
battery that should be replaced only by
LG or an authorized LG repair center. You
should never try to open or take apart
this phone yourself. Opening the phone
can cause damage that will void your
warranty.
Switching between and
exiting applications
Multi-tasking is easy with Android because
open applications keep running even when you
open another application. There is no need to
quit an application before opening another. Use
and switch among several open applications.
Android manages each application, stopping
and starting them as needed, to ensure that
idle applications don’t consume resources
unnecessarily.
