through LG, or call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They‗re also available at www.sprint.com.
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.
Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Li-pol(Embedded) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery
before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 17.7 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 can sound an audible alert and then turn
off.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, using vibrate mode, browser use, and other
variable may reduce the battery‗s talk and standby times.
Phone Basics 14
Tip: Watch your phone's battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of
power.
Charge 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 just working on.
1. Connect the charging adapter and USB cable as shown; the LG logo on the charging
adapter should face toward you.

end into an electrical outlet. The charge time varies depending upon the battery level.
Battery Temperature Protection

Charge with USB
You can use your computer to charge your phone. 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 phone 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 buspowered USB hub.
The LG USB Driver is downloadable from the following site: http://www.lg.com/us/ > Select
SUPPORT. In the Search box next to SEARCH PRODUCT SUPPORT, enter the model name
or name and click SEARCH. Click the model. On the PRODUCT SUPPORT page, click on
Software Update & Drivers.
