Important notice

Please check if any problems you encountered with your phone are
described in this section before taking the phone 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 DEVICE.
2 Once all applications appear, scroll to and select the application you

want to uninstall.

3 Tap on 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 are 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.

5

Important notice

To check the battery power level:

• Touch > Apps tab > Settings > About phone from 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 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.

6

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 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 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.

< 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.

7

Important notice

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 the original condition, use a hard reset
(factory reset) to initialize it.

• Touch > Apps tab > Settings > Backup & reset > Select Factory data
reset.

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, touch the 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.

8

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

1 Touch > Apps tab > Settings > Storage from 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 les.

5 Copy the les from your PC to the drive folder.

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.

Getting to know your phone

Charging your phone

Charge the battery before using it for the first time. Use the charger to
charge the battery. A computer can be also used to charge the device by
connecting them via the USB cable.

WARNING
Use only LG-approved chargers, batteries, and cables. When using unapproved
chargers or cables, it may cause battery charging slowly or pop up the message
regarding slow charging. Or, unapproved chargers or cables can cause the
battery to explode or damage the device, which are not covered by the warranty.

The charger connector is at the bottom of the phone. Insert the charger
and plug it into an electrical outlet.

NOTES:

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

• Do not open the battery cover while your phone is charging.

14

NOTES:

• When the battery power is low, the device emits a warning tone and displays a

low battery power message.

• If the battery is completely discharged, the device cannot be turned on

immediately when the charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to
charge for a few minutes before turning on the device.

• If you use multiple applications at once, network applications, or applications

that need a connection to another device, the battery will drain quickly. To
avoid disconnecting from the network or losing power during a data transfer,
always use these applications after fully charging the battery.

• The device can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully

charge the battery.

• If the device receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touch

screen may not function. If this happens, unplug the charger from the device.

• While charging, the device may heat up. This is normal and should not affect

the device’s lifespan or performance. If the battery gets hotter than usual, the
charger may stop charging.

After fully charging, disconnect the device from charger. First unplug the
charger from device, and then unplug it from the electric slot. Do not
remove the battery before removing the charger. This may damage the
device.

NOTE: To save energy, unplug the charger when not in use. You must unplug
the charger from the electric slot when not in use to avoid wasting power. The
device should remain close to the electric slot while charging.

Reducing the battery consumption

Your device provides options that help you save battery power. By
customising these options and deactivating features in the background,
you can use the device longer between charges:

15

Getting to know your phone

• Activate power-saving mode.

• When you are not using the device, switch to sleep mode by pressing the

Power/lock key.

• Close unnecessary applications with the task manager.

• Deactivate the Bluetooth feature.

• Deactivate the Wi-Fi feature.

• Deactivate auto-syncing of applications.

• Decrease the Screen timeout.

• Decrease the brightness of the display.

Using the memory card

Your phone supports the use of microSDTM or microSDHCTM memory cards
of up to 32 GB capacity. These memory cards are specifically designed
for mobile phones and other ultra-small devices, and are ideal for storing
media-rich files such as music, programs, videos, and photographs for use
with your phone.

To insert a memory card:

Insert the memory card into the slot. Make sure the golden contact area is
facing downwards.

To safely remove the memory card:
Touch > Apps tab > Settings > Storage from DEVICE > Unmount SD

card > OK.

16

NOTES:

• Use only compatible memory cards with your phone. Using incompatible

memory cards may damage the card and data stored on the card, as well as
the phone.

• As the device uses FAT32, the maximum size for any given file is 4 GB.

WARNING:
Do not insert or remove the memory card when the phone is ON. Doing so may
damage the memory card as well as your phone, and the data stored on the
memory card may become corrupt.

To format the memory card:
Your memory card may already be formatted. If it isn't, you must format it

before you can use it.

NOTE: All files on your memory card are deleted when it is formatted.

1 Touch to open the application list.
2 Scroll and touch Settings > Storage from DEVICE tab.
3 Touch Unmount SD card and touch OK to conrm.
4 Touch Erase SD card > Erase SD card > Erase everything.
5 If you have set a pattern lock, input the pattern lock then select Erase

everything.

17

Getting to know your phone

NOTE: If there is content on your memory card, the folder structure may be

different after formatting, as all the files will have been deleted.

Locking and unlocking the screen

If you do not use the phone for a while, the screen will be automatically
turned off and locked. This helps to prevent accidental touches and saves
battery power.
When you are not using your phone, press the Power/Lock key to
lock your phone.
If there are any programs running when you lock your screen, they may be
still running in Lock mode. It is recommended that you exit all programs
before entering Lock mode to avoid unnecessary charges (e.g. phone calls,
web access and data communications).
To wake up your phone, press the Power/Lock key . The Lock screen
will appear. Touch and slide the Lock screen in any direction to unlock your
Home screen. The last screen you viewed will open.

18

Your Home screen

Touch screen tips

Here are some tips on how to navigate on your phone.
Tap or touch – 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 webpage or a map. For example,
quickly double-tap a section of a webpage to adjust that section to fit
the width of the screen. You can also double-tap to zoom in and out after
taking a picture (using the Camera), and when using Maps.
Pinch-to-Zoom – Use your index finger and thumb in a pinching or
spreading motion to zoom in or out when using the browser or Maps, or
when browsing pictures.
Rotate the screen – From many applications and menus, the orientation
of the screen adjusts to the device's physical orientation.

19

Your Home screen

NOTES:

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

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

yet firm touch.

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

any other keys.
