interference by turning the equipment off and then back on to see if
the interference is affected. If necessary, try correcting the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.

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.
●

It is possible to use the phone without the battery. Connect the
charger to the phone and plug the charger into a wall. After doing
this, you can turn the phone on and place calls.
NOTE
Using the phone without a battery may cause the phone to turn off
unexpectedly if the supply of power is interrupted.
