Sprint-approved or LG-approved batteries and accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or through LG, or call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They‟re also available at www.sprint.com.
Phone Basics 14
Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Li-Ion battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 24 hours of continuous digital talk time.
When the battery reaches 2% 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.
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.
2. Plug one end of the USB cable into the phone's Charger/Accessory Port and the other end into an electrical outlet. The charge time varies depending upon the battery level.
Battery Temperature Protection
Though extremely rare, if the battery becomes overheated, the phone will automatically turn off.
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 bus-powered 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. Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to save unnecessary power consumption of the charger.
Phone Basics 15

Extend 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.
● Reduce the amount of time your backlight is on.
● Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
● Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.
● Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications using this function will periodically query
the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your battery.

process of a complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce the storage capacity of any battery.
● Turn off Automatic application sync.
● Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications.
Note: If you accidently press the Power/Lock Button while the device is in your pocket, the screen will turn off automatically in order to save battery power.
