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

When there is less than 10% of space available in your phone memory, your phone cannot receive new messages. You need to check your phone memory and delete some data, such as applications or messages, to make more memory available.

To uninstall applications:

1 Touch > Apps tab > Settings > Apps from the DEVICE. 2 Once all applications appear, scroll to and select the application you want to

uninstall.

3 Touch Uninstall.

2. Optimizing battery life

Extend your battery's life between charges by turning off features that you don't need to have running constantly in the background. You can monitor how applications and 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.

•

Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts and other applications.

•

Some applications you have downloaded may reduce battery power.

Important notice

To check the battery power level:

•

Touch > Apps tab > Settings > About phone from the SYSTEM > Common

tab > Battery. The battery status (charging or discharging) and battery level (percentage charged) is displayed at the top of the screen.

To monitor and control how battery power is being used:

•

Touch > Apps tab > Settings > About phone from the SYSTEM > Common

tab > Battery > Battery use. Battery usage time is displayed on the screen. It tells you how long it has been since you last connected your phone to a power source or, if currently connected, how long the phone was last running on battery power. The screen shows the applications or services using battery power, listed in order from the greatest to smallest amount used.

3. Before installing an open source application and OS

WARNING

If you install and use an OS other than the one provided by the manufacturer

it may cause your phone to malfunction. In addition, your phone will no longer

be covered by the warranty.

WARNING

To protect your phone and personal data, only download applications from

trusted sources, such as Play Store™. If there are improperly installed

applications on your phone, the phone may not work normally or a serious

error may occur. You must uninstall those applications and all associated data

and settings from the phone.

4. Using an unlock pattern

Set an unlock pattern to secure your phone. Touch > Apps tab > Settings > Lock screen from DEVICE > Select screen lock > Pattern. This opens a screen that will

guide you through how to draw a screen unlock pattern. You have to create a Backup PIN as a safety measure in case you forget your unlock pattern.

Caution: Create a Google account before setting an unlock pattern and remember the Backup PIN you created when creating your pattern lock.

WARNING

Precautions to take when using pattern lock.

It is very important to remember the unlock pattern you set. You will not be able to access your phone if you use an incorrect pattern 5 times. You have 5 opportunities to enter your unlock pattern, PIN or password. If you have used all 5 opportunities, you can try again after 30 seconds.

When you can't recall your unlock Pattern, PIN or Password: < If you have forgotten your pattern >

If you logged in to your Google account on the phone but failed to enter the correct pattern 5 times, press the Forgot pattern? button at the bottom of the screen. You are then required to log in with your Google Account or you have to enter the Backup PIN which you entered when creating your Pattern Lock. If you have not created a Google account on the phone or you forgot Backup PIN, you have to perform a hard reset.

Important notice

< If you have forgotten your PIN or Password >

If you forget your PIN or Password, you will need to perform a hard reset.

Caution: If you perform a hard reset, all user applications and user data will be deleted.

NOTE: If you have not logged into your Google Account and have forgotten

your Unlock Pattern, you will need to enter your Backup PIN.

5. Using the Hard Reset (Factory reset)

If your phone does not restore to its original condition, use a Hard Reset (Factory Reset) to initialize it.

1 Turn the power off. 2 Press and hold the Power/Lock key + Volume Down key + Home key. 3 When the LG Logo appears on the screen, release all keys.

WARNING

If you perform a Hard Reset, all user applications, user data and DRM

licenses will be deleted. Please remember to backup any important data

before performing a Hard Reset.

6. Opening and switching applications

Multi-tasking is easy with Android because you can keep more than one application running at the same time. There is no need to quit an application before opening another one. Use and switch between several open applications. Android manages each application, stopping and starting them as needed to ensure that idle applications don't consume resources unnecessarily.

To stop applications:

1 Touch > Apps tab > Settings > Apps from DEVICE > RUNNING. 2 Scroll and touch the desired application and touch Stop to stop it.

NOTE: For multitasking, press Home key to move to another app while using an app. This does not stop the previous app running in the background on the device. Make sure to touch the Back key to exit an app after using it.

7. Transferring music, photos and videos using Media sync (MTP)

1 Touch > Apps tab > Settings > Storage from the DEVICE to check out the

storage media.

2 Connect the phone to your PC using the USB cable. 3 A USB connection type list will appear on your phone screen, Select the Media sync

(MTP) option.

4 Open the memory folder on your PC. You can view the mass storage content on your

PC and transfer the files.

5 Copy the files from your PC to the drive folder or vice versa.

Important notice

8. Hold your phone upright

Hold your cell phone vertically, as you would a regular phone. Your phone has an internal antenna. Be careful not to scratch or damage the back of the phone, as this may affect performance. When making/receiving calls or sending/receiving data, avoid holding the lower part of the phone where the antenna is located. Doing so may affect call quality.

9. When the screen freezes

If the screen freezes or the phone does not respond when you try to operate it:

Press and hold the Power/Lock key for 10 seconds to turn your phone off. If it still does not work, please contact the service center.
