Scratches caused by abrasive surface, misuse, including but not limited to intentional scratches, and damages caused by a fall or dropping the product, may not disappear. The “self-healing” results may vary depending on the extent of the damage as well as other conditions. Any warranty on the “self-healing” is hereby expressly excluded.

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 on the tray door. To install a new micro SIM card:

1 Insert the micro SIM ejection tool that

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.

Eject button aperture

2 Position the micro SIM card into the tray (as

shown in the image below).

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.

Getting Started

2 Plug the USB cable (as shown below) into

the phone's Charger/USB 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.

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.

•

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.

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.

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.

Switching between applications

•

Touch and hold the Home Key . A list of recently used applications will be displayed. Then tap the application you want to access.

•

To remove an application from the list, swipe the app preview to the left or right.

To stop/exit an application
