NOTE:

It is important to fully charge the battery before initial use of

Inserting a microSD card

Gently uncover the microSD slot located on the right side of the phone. Position the microSD card facing up and slide it into place until it is fully inserted and locked in place.

NOTE:

The microSD card can be easily damaged by improper

operation. Please be careful when inserting, removing or handling it.

The Basics

Removing the microSD card

Unmount the microSD card (see the steps below). Then, uncover the microSD slot located on the right side of the phone. Gently push the exposed edge of the microSD card in with your fingertip to release it from the slot. Carefully pull the microSD card out of the slot.

Charging the Phone

Your Phone comes with a cableless travel adapter and a USB data cable which connect together to charge your phone. To charge your phone:

NOTICE

Please use only an approved charging accessory to charge your LG phone. Improper handling of the charging port, as well as the use of an incompatible charger, may cause damage to your phone and void the warranty.

Connect the cableless wall

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

Gently uncover the Accessory/

Charging port, then plug one end of the USB cable into the phone’s charger port and the other end into an electrical outlet. The charge time varies depending upon the battery level.

Battery temperature protection

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

Battery charge level

You can find the battery charge level at the top right of the screen. When the battery level becomes low, the phone will notify you and the status light will turn red. Once the battery level becomes exceedingly low, the phone will shut off without notice. As a result, unsaved items may be lost.

The Basics

Charging with USB

You can use your computer to charge your phone. To be able to charge with the USB cable, you need to have the necessary USB drivers installed on your PC first. Connect one end of the USB cable to the charging accessory port on your phone and connect the other end to a USB port on your PC (commonly located on the front panel of the computer). It is best to use the rear USB port when connecting to a desktop PC. The USB hub should be powered by an external power source (see NOTES below).

NOTES

 Low-power USB ports are not

supported, such as the USB port on your keyboard or buspowered USB hub.

 LG USB Driver is downloadable

Touch-screen tips

Here are some tips on how to navigate around your phone.

Touch - To choose a menu/ option or open an application, touch it.

Touch and hold - To open an options menu or grab an object you want to move, touch and hold it.

Drag - To scroll through a list or move slowly, drag across the touch screen.

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).

Double-tap - Double-tap to zoom a webpage or a map. For example, quickly double-tap a section of a webpage to zoom that section to fit the width of the screen.

Dynamic touch - Use your index finger and thumb in a pinch or spread motion to zoom in or out when using the browser, map or pictures.

Rotate the screen - From many applications, the orientation of the screen rotates with the phone as you turn it from upright to sideways and back again.

NOTE: To turn this feature on and off, from the Home screen, press the Menu Key and touch Settings > Sound & display > then, select/ deselect Orientation.
