Your phone is an electronic device that generates heat during normal operation.
Extremely prolonged, direct skin contact in the absence of adequate ventilation may
result in discomfort or minor burns. Therefore, use care when handling your phone

Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
Road safety
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones in the area when you
drive.
•
Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.
•
Give full attention to driving.
•
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so
require.
•
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in your vehicle such as car stereos
and safety equipment.
•
When your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do not obstruct with installed or
portable wireless equipment. It can cause the air bag to fail or cause serious injury
due to improper performance.
•
If you are listening to music whilst out and about, please ensure that the volume is
at a reasonable level so that you are aware of your surroundings. This is of particular
importance when near roads.
Avoid damage to your hearing
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume
levels for long periods
Damage to your hearing can occur if you are exposed to loud sound for long periods of
time. We therefore recommend that you do not turn on or off the handset close to your
ear. We also recommend that music and call volumes are set to a reasonable level.
•
When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people
speaking near you, or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are listening
to.
8
Page 9
NOTE: Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can
cause hearing loss.
Glass Parts
Some parts of your mobile device are made of glass. This glass could break if your
mobile device is dropped on a hard surface or receives a substantial impact. If the glass
breaks, do not touch or attempt to remove it. Stop using your mobile device until the
glass is replaced by an authorised service provider.
Blasting area
Do not use the phone where blasting is in progress. Observe restrictions and follow any
regulations or rules.
Potentially explosive atmospheres
•
Do not use your phone at a refueling point.
•
Do not use near fuel or chemicals.
•
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the same

Guidelines for safe and effi cient use
Children
Keep the phone in a safe place out of the reach of small children. It includes small parts
which may cause a choking hazard if detached.
Emergency calls
Emergency calls may not be available on all mobile networks. Therefore you should
never depend solely on your phone for emergency calls. Check with your local service
provider.
Battery information and care
•
You do not need to completely discharge the battery before recharging. Unlike other
battery systems, there is no memory effect that could compromise the battery's
performance.
•
Use only LG batteries and chargers. LG chargers are designed to maximize the
battery life.
•
Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
•
Keep the battery's metal contacts clean.
•
Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. The battery
pack may be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing.
•
Recharge the battery if it has not been used for a long time to maximize usability.
•
Do not expose the battery charger to direct sunlight or use it in high humidity, such as
in the bathroom.
•
Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, as this may deteriorate battery
performance.
•
There is risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type.
•
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. Please recycle
when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
10
Page 11
•
If you need to replace the battery, take it to the nearest authorised LG Electronics
service point or dealer for assistance.
•
Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to
save unnecessary power consumption of the charger.
•
Actual battery life will depend on network configuration, product settings, usage
patterns, battery and environmental conditions.
•
Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal's teeth or nails, come into
contact with the battery. This could cause a fire.

Important notice
Please read this before you start using your phone!
Please check to see whether any problems you encountered with your phone are
described in this section before taking the phone in for service or calling a service
representative.
1. Phone memory

system resources consume battery power.
Extending your phone's battery life:
•
Turn off radio communications when you're not using. If you are not using Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth or GPS, turn them off.
•
Reduce screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.

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 when 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, 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.
