Getting to know your phone

Installing the micro SIM card

Before you can start exploring your new phone, you’ll need to set it up. The
micro SIM card tray eject button is a small round aperture just above the tray
door. To install a new micro SIM card:

3 Insert the micro SIM card tray.

NOTE: Turn the phone off before inserting or removing the SIM card.

Warning! Always be careful. The ejection tool is a very sharp.

16

Charging your phone

1 Connect the wall adapter and USB cable as shown below. The USB symbol

on the USB cable should face toward you.

2 Plug the USB cable (as shown below) into the phone's Charger/Accessory

Port. Make sure the USB symbol is facing upwards.

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

NOTE:

• The battery must be fully charged initially to improve battery lifetime.

• Your phone has an internal antenna. Be careful not to scratch or damage

this rear area, as that will cause loss of performance.

• When the battery becomes fully discharged and you connect the phone to

a charger, the Notification LED lights will blink. This is normal operation for
a completely discharged battery to prevent overflowing current because the
phone is designed to provide reasonable protection against damage to the
battery. Once the battery has enough charge, the screen will turn on and
display a battery image.

17

Getting to know your phone

Warning!

• Use only LG-approved chargers, batteries and cables. When using

unapproved chargers or cables, it may cause battery slow charging the
message regarding charging delay. Or, unapproved chargers or cables can
cause the battery to explode or damage the device, which are not covered
by the warranty.

• Charging may be interrupted when you use a USB hub, which is not

retained rated voltage.

NOTE: Non-Removable Battery
Your phone has an internal, rechargeable battery that should be replaced
only by LG or an authorized LG repair center. You should never try to open
or take apart this phone yourself. Opening the phone can cause damage
that will void your warranty.

Switching between and exiting applications

Multi-tasking is easy with Android because open applications keep running
even when you open another application. There is no need to quit an
application before opening another. Use and switch among several open
applications. Android manages each application, stopping and starting
them as needed, to ensure that idle applications don’t consume resources
unnecessarily.

Switching between applications

- Touch and hold the Home Key
displayed. Then tap the application you want to access.

- To remove an application from the list, swipe the app preview to the left or
right.

Your Home screen

Touch screen tips

With the touch of your finger, you can access available applications, make
menu selections, and access data saved to your phone. The following terms are
used for describing the different available actions using the touchscreen:

Ta p - 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 Web page or a map. For example,
quickly double-tap a section of a Web page to adjust that section to fit the
width of the screen. You can also double-tap to zoom in and out when using
Maps.

Pinch-to-Zoom - Use your index finger and thumb in a pinch or spread motion
to zoom in or out when using the browser, Maps, Camera, or browsing pictures.

Rotate the screen - From many applications and menus, the orientation of the
screen adjusts to the device's physical orientation.

20

NOTE:

• To select an item, tap the center of the icon.

• Do not to press too hard; the touch screen is sensitive enough to pick up a

light, firm touch.

• Use the tip of your finger to tap the option you want. Be careful not to tap any

other keys or icons.

Proximity sensor

When receiving and making calls, this sensor automatically turns the backlight
off and locks the touch keypad by sensing when the phone is near your
ear. This extends battery life and prevents the touch keypad from activating
unintentionally during calls.

NOTE: When turning the screen on, make sure you do not cover the
proximity sensor. Doing so will not allow you to turn the screen on.
