Turn Your Phone On and Off
The instructions below explain how to turn your phone on and off.
Turning Your Phone On
► Press and hold .
Once your phone is on, it may display ―Searching for Service.‖ When your phone finds a signal,
it enters standby mode – the phone‘s idle state. At this point, you are ready to begin making and
receiving calls.
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power Save feature is
automatically activated. When a signal is found, your phone automatically returns to standby
mode.
In Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal periodically without your intervention.
You can also initiate a search for Sprint service by pressing any key (when your phone is turned
on).
Tip: The Power Save feature conserves your battery power when you are in an area where
there is no signal.
Turning Your Phone Off
► Press and hold for two seconds until you see the powering-down animation on the
screen.
Your screen remains blank while your phone is off (unless the battery is charging).
Battery and Charger
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery
before it is fully drained.
WARNING: Use only Sprint-approved or LG-approved batteries and chargers with your
phone. The failure to use a Sprint-approved or 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 damage.
Sprint-approved or LG-approved batteries and accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or
through LG; or you can call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They‘re also available at www.sprint.com.
Battery Capacity
The battery provides up to 5.3 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 phone sounds an audible alert and then turns off.
Phone Basics 11
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, browser use, and other
variables may reduce the battery‘s talk and standby times.
Tip: Watch your phone‘s battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of
power.
Installing the Battery
► See Set Up Your Phone.
Removing the Battery
Before you remove your phone's battery, make sure that the power is off.

2. Lift the back cover using the fingertip cutout located at the bottom of the cover and
remove it.
3. Lift the battery using the fingertip cutout located at the bottom of the battery
compartment and remove it from the phone.
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
phone automatically turns off, and you will lose any information you were working on.
Always use a Sprint-approved or LG-approved desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power
adapter to charge your battery.
1. Connect the cableless wall adapter and USB cable as shown.
Phone Basics 12
