The Battery and Power
Your tablet has an internal, rechargeable battery that is not removable. It
should only be replaced by LG or an authorized LG repair center. You should
never try to open or take apart this tablet yourself. Opening the tablet can
cause damage that will void your warranty.
Charge Your Tablet
Your tablet is powered by an internal, rechargeable battery. Charge the
battery using the USB cable (power cord) and the Charger (power adapter)
included with your tablet. Fully charge the battery before using your tablet
for the first time to maximize its life cycle.
WARNING! If the touchscreen won't function while the tablet’s in the process of charging, the

Optimizing Battery Life
You can extend your battery’s life between charges by reducing the screen
brightness and screen timeout to conserve your battery’s energy. Also,
some features run constantly in the background whether or not you’re
using them. Turn off features until you need to use them. For example, you
can turn off radio communications (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, etc.) and
automatic syncing (Gmail™, Calendar, etc.).
NOTE Allowing other devices to use your tablet's hotspot connection will also drain your
battery more quickly.
To monitor and control what uses the battery
Some applications you’ve downloaded may consume high amounts of
battery power. While using your downloaded apps, check the battery
charge level and monitor the battery usage by your applications.
