Warning! Use only LG-approved batteries and chargers with your device. The failure to use a LG-approved battery and charger may increase the risk that your phone will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or property.

Battery Capacity

Your device 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 5 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 device 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 device's battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of power.

Device Basics

Installing the Battery

1. Install the battery.

●

Remove the battery from its packaging.

●

Charging the Battery

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

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

Device Basics

Battery Temperature Protection

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

Charging with USB

You can use your computer to charge your device. To be able to charge with the USB cable, you need to install the necessary USB drivers on your computer first.
