mode.

Phone Basics 15

In Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal periodically without your intervention.

Battery and Charger

LG-approved batteries and accessories can be found through LG by calling 1-866-866-7509 to
order. They're also available at http://www.boostmobile.com/shop/accessories/.

WARNING: Use only LG-approved batteries and chargers with your phone. The failure to use

LG-approved battery and charger may increase the risk that your phone an
overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or
property damage.

Battery Capacity

Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery
before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 16 hours of continuous digital talk time.

When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When there are
approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone can sound an audible alert and then turn
off.

Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, using vibrate mode, browser use, and

other variables may reduce the battery„s talk and standby times.

Tip: Watch your phone's battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of

power.

Install the Battery

► See Set Up Your Phone.

Phone Basics 17

Remove the Battery

1. Make sure the power is turned off so that you don„t lose any unsaved items.

2. Lift the back cover using the fingertip cutout located at the bottom of the phone and
remove it.

3. Lift the battery using the fingertip cutout and remove it from the phone.

WARNING: Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned.

Charge the Battery

Keeping track of your battery's charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your
phone automatically turns off and you will lose any information you were just working on.

Always use an LG-approved desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to
charge your battery.

1. Connect the charging adapter and USB cable as shown; the LG logo on the charging
adapter should face toward you.

2. Plug one end of the USB cable into the phone's Charger/Accessory Port and the other
end into an electrical outlet. The charge time varies depending upon the battery level.

With the approved Li-Ion battery, you can recharge the battery before it becomes completely
drained.

Battery Temperature Protection

Though extremely rare, if the battery becomes overheated, the phone will automatically turn off.

Phone Basics 18

Charge with USB

You can use your computer to charge your phone. To be able to charge with the USB cable,
you need to install the necessary USB drivers on your computer first. Connect one end of the
USB cable to the Charger/Accessory Port on your phone and connect the other end to a USB
port on your computer. It is best to use the rear USB port when connecting to a desktop
computer. The USB hub should be powered by an external power source.

Note: Low-power USB ports are not supported, such as the USB port on your keyboard or bus-

powered USB hub.
The LG USB Driver is downloadable from the following site: http://www.lg.com/us/ >

Select SUPPORT. In the Search box next to SEARCH PRODUCT SUPPORT, enter the
model name or name and click SEARCH. Click the model. On the PRODUCT
SUPPORT page, click on Software Update & Drivers.

Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to save
unnecessary power consumption of the charger.

Extend Your Battery Life

You can extend your battery's life between charges by turning off features that run in the
background. You can also monitor how applications and system resources consume battery
power.

storage capacity of any battery.

● Turn off Automatic application sync.

● Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications.

available actions using the touchscreen:

● Tap: A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts and letters on the on-screen

Accounts and Messaging

With Boost Mobile service and your phone„s messaging capabilities, you have the opportunity to
share information through many different channels and accounts.

and other contact information) on your phone is automatically synchronized between your
phone and your Gmail account on the web.

Create a Google Account

You must create and/or sign into a Google Account to use GmailTM, Google CalendarTM, and
other Google Apps. Signing into a Google Account is also necessary to download applications
from the Play Store app to sync your data (if applicable) with the Google servers, and to take
advantage of any other available Google services on your phone.

If you don„t have a Google Account, you will be prompted to create one. If you have an

enterprise account through your company or other organization, your IT department may have
special instructions on how to sign into that account.

Account (the first Google Account set up with your phone). If you plan to use
more than one Google Account with your phone, be sure to sign into the one you
want to use with such applications first. When you sign in, your contacts, Gmail
messages, Calendar events, and other information from these applications and
services on the web can be synchronized with your phone. You will be prompted
to sign in or to create a Google Account the first time you start an application that
requires one, such as Gmail or Play Store.
