The PC system may not be reactivated until it cools down enough.
Information on Hard Drive / Memory Capacity
Information on Hard Drive (HDD, SSD, eMMC) Capacity
The hard drive capacity shown by Windows is lower than that stated by the hard drive manufacturer
due to a difference in calculation.
Manufacturer Hard drive manufacturers use a decimal definition of 1 KB = 1,000 Bytes.
100 GB Storage Device (HDD, SSD, eMMC): 100,000 MB / 1,000 Bytes = 100
GB
Windows Windows use the binary definition of 1 KB = 1,024 Bytes.

ENGLISH
Using the PC
WARNING
The battery may explode or cause a fire due to excessive heat. For a safe and efficient use
of the battery, follow the directions below.
• Do not short-circuit the battery.
• Keep the battery out of reach of children.
• A visible swelling of the battery pack indicates a possible danger. When this occurs, contact
your local vendor or service center immediately.
• Use only a certified and designated recharger.
• Keep the battery pack away from heat. (Never put it in a microwave.)
• Do not leave inside a car under the summer heat.
• Do not leave or use at a hot and humid place like a sauna.
• Do not use the machine placed on a heating blanket or other heat reserving materials.
• Do not leave the machine turned on inside a closed space.
• Make sure that the battery ports are not touched by any metallic objects like a key, coin,
necklace, and watch.
• Use only a lithium secondary battery certified and guaranteed by mobile device
manufactures.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery. Do not compress or pierce the battery.
• Do not apply shock to the battery. For example, do not drop the battery from a high place.
• Keep the room temperature between -5 °C and 40 °C. Do not expose the PC to heat
hotter than 60 °C.
• Keep the machine dry.
• Do not discard the battery arbitrarily as you are requested to follow the local procedure
for discarding the battery.
• Before using this machine, read this guide carefully.
Page 59
Using the PC
TIP
Consider the following when not using the PC for an extended period of time.
• Check the battery charge level on a regular basis and keep it at 50 %. This allows you to
extend the battery life.
• If the battery is left fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery capacity and
battery running time may be reduced.
• Keeping battery fully discharged for an extended period of time may cause the battery to
become over discharged, thereby making charging unavailable.
For more efficient use of the battery, read the following carefully.
• The battery runs low naturally even if it is kept unused.
• To increase battery lifespan, use the battery for a while before charging it rather than
keeping the battery completely charged.
• If you don't use the product for a long time with the battery completely charged, the
battery lifespan may decrease.
The battery capacity may change due to chemical reactions during charge and discharge.
• LG Notebook frequently checks the charge level of its battery based on usage conditions,
and then calculates and correctly indicates the actual remaining level of the battery.
• The battery is wearable goods and thus the life span may become shorter with use. The
battery running time may also become shorter accordingly.
• When the battery is fully charged, the machine stops recharging. It resumes recharging
when the battery charge rate drops below 95 %. This feature secures the safe and
efficient use of the battery.
• When the temperature of the battery drops below 10 °C, it is charged in a low current to
protect the battery cells. In this case, charging time may stretch to up to 32 hours.
If you use the system at a low temperature, refer to the following:
• The battery capacity may be reduced depending on the chemical characteristics of the
battery and the system may not be turned on af ter it freezes or it is turned off.
• If the system freezes or if it is not turned on, connect the AC adapter to the system and
charge the battery fully before use.
• If there is any error in the indication of the battery capacity, charge and discharge the
battery two or three times at room temperature to return to the normal operation.
