Charging the Phone

Your LG VS910 device comes with a Wall/USB charger and a USB
data cable which connect together to charge your phone. To charge
your phone:

NOTICE

Please use only an approved charging accessory to charge your LG phone.
Improper handling of the charging port, as well as the use of an incompatible charger,
may cause damage to your phone and void the warranty.

Wall/USB charger

2. Plug the USB cable (as shown below) into the phone's

charger port.

The Basics

Battery temperature protection

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

Battery charge level

You can find the battery charge level at the top right part of the
screen. When the battery level becomes low, the phone will notify
you. Once the battery level becomes exceedingly low, the phone
will shut off without notice. As a result, unsaved items may be lost.

Charging with USB

You can use your computer to charge your phone. To be able to
charge with the USB cable, you need to have the necessary USB
drivers installed on your PC first. Connect one end of the USB
cable to the charger port on your phone and connect the other
end to a USB port on your PC. It is best to use the rear USB port
when connecting to a desktop PC. The USB hub should be
powered by an external power source.

NOTES

Low-power USB ports are not supported, such as the USB port on your
keyboard or bus-powered USB hub.

Connecting to Networks and Devices

Connecting to Mobile Networks

When you buy your phone and sign up for service, your phone is
configured to use your provider's mobile networks for voice calls
and for transmitting data.
Different locations may have different mobile networks available.
Initially, your phone is configured to use the fastest mobile network
available for data. But you can configure your phone to use only a
slower 1X network for data, to extend the life of your battery,
between charges. You can also configure your phone to access a
different set of networks entirely, or to behave in specific ways
when roaming.
The icons in the Status bar indicate which kind of data network
you're connected to and the network signal strength.

access at distances of up to 100 meters, depending on the Wi-Fi
router and your surroundings.
To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you must connect to a wireless access
point, or “hotspot.”Some access points are open and you can
simply connect to them. Others are hidden or implement other
security features, so you must configure your phone so it can
connect to them.

ActiveSync

ActiveSync synchronizes information on your device with
information on your PC, such as Outlook content. ActiveSync can
also synchronize over a cellular network with Microsoft Exchange
Server, if your company or service provider is running Microsoft
Exchange Server with Exchange ActiveSync. When you synchronize,
ActiveSync compares the information on your device with the
information on your PC and/or Exchange Server and updates all
locations with the most recent information.

With ActiveSync, you can:

'

Synchronize information, such as Outlook E-mail, Contacts,
Calendar, or Tasks information on your device with your PC,
as well as pictures, video, and music.

'

Synchronize Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar

appointments to synchronize.

Before you can synchronize information with a PC, first, install
ActiveSync on your PC, then create a synchronization pairing
between your device and the PC. You can install ActiveSync from
the Getting Started disc that comes with your LG VS910.

Once you have installed ActiveSync and set up a synchronization
relationship, ActiveSync on the PC recognizes your device when you
connect it, and automatically transfers the synchronization settings
you specified on your device.

You may be able to synchronize your device with Exchange Server
through your company or wireless service provider. If you plan to do
so, obtain e-mail address, Exchange Server address, user name,
password, and domain name from your administrator before starting

Virtual private networks (VPNs) allow you to connect to resources
inside a secured local network, from outside that network. VPNs are
commonly deployed by corporations, schools, and other institutions
so that their users can access local network resources when not on
campus, or when connected to a wireless network.
There are numerous systems for securing VPN connections,
including some that rely on secure certificates or other methods to
ensure that only authorized users can connect. For information
about installing secure certificates, see Working with Secure
Certificates on page 84.

City ID is an enhanced Caller ID feature on select Verizon Wireless
handsets that automatically displays the city and state of every
wireless call received. City ID reads the area code and local
exchange of an incoming call and displays the location associated
with that number. City ID includes over 20,000 cities, towns and
neighborhoods in North America and over 200 country codes from
around the world – providing mobile subscribers with a remarkably
accurate tool to help identify incoming callers.

City ID enabled handsets also feature outgoing and call log
identification which displays the city and state of outgoing calls as
well as calls within the handset’s call history.

City ID is a feature with a free trial that works automatically –
displaying the city and state with the very first incoming phone call.
