Getting to know your phone

Before you start using the phone, please read this!

Please check to see whether any problems you encountered with your phone are described in this section before taking the phone in for service or calling a service representative.

1. Phone memory

When there is less than 10% of space available in your phone memory, your phone cannot receive new messages. You need to check your phone memory and delete some data, such as applications or messages, to make more memory available.

To uninstall applications:

1 Touch > Apps tab > Settings > Apps from the DEVICE category. 2 Once all applications appear, scroll to and select the application you want to

uninstall.

3 Touch Uninstall.

2. Optimising battery life

Extend your battery's life between charges by turning off features that you don't need to having running constantly in the background. You can monitor how applications and system resources consume battery power.

Extending your phone's battery life:

t Turn off radio communications you are not using. If you are not using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth

or GPS, turn them off.

t Reduce screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.

Getting to know your phone

t Turn off automatic syncing for Google Mail™, Calendar, Contacts and other

applications.

t Some applications you have downloaded may reduce battery power.

To check the battery power level:

t Touch > Apps tab > Settings > About phone from the SYSTEM > Status

The battery status (charging or not charging) and level (percentage charged) is displayed at the top of the screen.

To monitor and control how battery power is being used:

t Touch > Apps tab > Settings > Power saver from the DEVICE > Battery use

from the BATTERY INFORMATION Battery usage time is displayed at the top of the screen. It tells you how long it has been since you last connected your phone to a power source or, if currently connected, how long the phone was last running on battery power. The screen shows the applications or services using battery power, listed in order from the greatest to smallest amount used.

3. Using folders

You can combine several app icons in a folder. Drop one app icon over another on a Home screen, and the two icons will be combined.

NOTE: To see a smaller collection of frequently used apps, touch the Google Apps folder near the bottom of the screen. As with any folder, you can customise its contents.

NOTE: After you open an app, you can usually adjust its settings by choosing items from its Menu icon near the top or bottom of the screen.

4. Before installing an open source application and OS

WARNING

If you install and use an OS other than the one provided by the manufacturer it may cause your phone to malfunction. In addition, your phone will no longer be covered by the warranty.

WARNING

To protect your phone and personal data, only download applications from trusted sources, such as Play Store™. If there are improperly installed applications on your phone, it may not work normally or a serious error may occur. You must uninstall those applications and all associated data and settings from the phone.

5. Using the hard reset (Factory reset)

If your phone needs to be restored to its original condition, use hard reset to reboot your phone.

1 When the phone is switched off, press and hold the Volume down key +

Powerkey with your left hand.

2 When the LED on the bottom of the phone lights up, touch and hold the Menu key with

your right hand. You need to do this immediately, before the screen displays the LG logo. Make sure your left hand is still holding the Volume down and Power keys. Then release the power key at vibration time.

3 When the LG logo is displayed on the screen, continue to hold the keys for around 2

seconds, and then release all them at the same time, before the LG logo disappears. Leave your phone for at least a minute while the hard reset is carried out. You will then be able to switch your phone back on.

Getting to know your phone

Caution: If you perform a hard reset, all user applications and user data will be deleted.

This cannot be reversed. Remember to back up any important data before performing a hard reset.

6. Opening and switching applications

Multitasking is easy with Android because you can keep more than one application running at the same time. There's no need to quit an application before opening another. Use and switch between several open applications. Android manages each application, stopping and starting them as needed to ensure that idle applications don't consume resources unnecessarily.

To return to view list recently used applications: Simply press and hold the Home key. To stop applications:

1 Touch > Apps tab > Settings > Apps > Running from the DEVICE 2 Scroll and touch the desired application and touch Stop to stop it.

and hold it.

Drag – To scroll through a list or move slowly, drag across the touch screen. Swipe or slide – To swipe or slide, quickly move your finger across the surface of the

Double-tap – Double-tap to zoom on a web page or a map. For example, quickly double-tap a section of a web page to adjust that section to fit the width of the screen. You can also double-tap to zoom in and out when using Maps. Pinch-to-Zoom – Use your index finger and thumb in a pinch or spread motion to zoom in or out when using the Browser, Maps, or browsing pictures. Rotate the screen – From many applications and menus, the orientation of the screen adjusts to the device's physical orientation.
