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.

Page 15

Device Basics

Installing the Battery

1. Install the battery.

●

Remove the battery from its packaging.

●

Insert the battery into the battery compartment in the back of the device, making sure the connectors align (see step in the following illustration). Gently press down to secure the battery (see step in the following illustration).

●

Position the back cover over the battery compartment and press down until you hear a click (see step

in the following illustration).

2. Press and hold located on the top right of the phone to turn the device on.

Page 16

Device Basics

Removing 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 on bottom of the cover and remove it.

3. Lift the battery using the fingertip cutout at the top of the battery compartment and remove it from the device.

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

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.

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

Page 17

Device Basics

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

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

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. Connect one end of the USB cable to the Charger/Accessory Port on your device 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.

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

> Select the Carrier(Virgin Mobile) > Select the Model (VM701) > Click USB Cable Driver to download.

Support

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

Extending 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.

●

Your device is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it is compatible with digital cell phones. Your phone and TTY device will connect via a special cable that plugs into your device's headset jack. If this cable was not provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.

Editing a Contacts Entry

You can change or add details saved in your contact entries, such as setting specific ringtones to specific contacts or setting calls from specific contacts to divert to your voicemail. Some contact entries contain information from multiple sources: information that you added manually, information joined from multiple accounts to consolidate duplicates, etc.

Page 81

Contacts

If you find duplicate entries in Contacts, you can join them into a single entry. If you find that unrelated contacts were joined in error, you can separate them.

Changes made to information from one source do not automatically change the information on the other sources. For example, if you have information about a contact from a Google Account and an Exchange account and both are configured to sync contacts, changes to the contact from the Google Account are synced to that account on the Web, but the information from the Exchange account will remain unchanged.
