Charging the Phone

Your Phone comes with a cableless travel adapter 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.

Connect the cableless wall

adapter and USB data cable. Connect as shown; the LG logo on the USB cable should face toward you.

Gently uncover the Accessory/

Charging port, then plug one end of the USB cable into the phone’s charger 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.

Battery charge level

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

Page 20

The Basics

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 charging accessory port on your phone and connect the other end to a USB port on your PC (commonly located on the front panel of the computer). 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 (see NOTES below).

Adding and Removing Accounts

You can add multiple Google Accounts and Exchange ActiveSync accounts. You may also be able to add other kinds of accounts, depending on the applications downloaded and installed on your phone.

When you add an account, the Contacts application compares any new contacts with your existing contacts and will join contact entries if matches are found. This does not join that data on the accounts themselves; they are only displayed as a single contact on your phone.

To add an account

To add some accounts, you will need to contact a network administrator for account setup information. For example, you may need to know the account’s domain or server address.

Configuring Account Sync and Display Options

You can configure background data and synchronization options for the applications on your phone. You can also configure synchronization options for each account. Some applications, such as Gmail and Calendar, have their own synchronization settings.

Some applications, such as Contacts and Gmail, can sync data for multiple accounts. Others, such as Calendar, sync data only from the first Google Account you set up with your phone, or from an account associated specifically with that application.

For some accounts, syncing is two-directional; changes that you make to the information on your phone are synchronized with the accounts on the web or PC. Your Google Account synchronizes in a two-directional manner. Other

accounts support only one-way sync; the information changed on your phone is only changed on your phone.

Gmail

Gmail is Different

Gmail is web-based : Your

messages are stored on-line, on Google servers; but you read, write, and organize messages by using the Gmail application on your phone, or by using a web browser on a computer. Because your mail is stored on Google servers, you can search your entire message history, backed by the speed and power of Google search. Actions that you take in one place are reflected everywhere. For example, if you read a message in Gmail on your phone, it will be marked as read in a web browser. And a message that you send using a browser, or even a draft of a message, is visible in Gmail on the phone.

Gmail is conversation-based: Each message and all replies to it are grouped in your Inbox as a single conversation. In other email applications, replies to

messages are spread across your Inbox, typically by date received, so a message and the replies to it are separated by other messages. Gmail makes it easy to follow the thread of a conversation.

Gmail is organized by labels, not by folders: By tagging

messages with labels, you can organize your conversations in many different ways. Whereas in other email applications, each message can live in only one folder. For example, with Gmail you can label a conversation with your mother about your brother’s birthday present with both “Mom ”and “Dave.”Later, you can look for the all messages containing either label. Using folders, you’ d have to store the message in the “Mom”folder or the “Dave” folder, not both.

Page 87

Gmail for the phone is optimized for mobile: Some

features are only accessible on your computer browser The best place to organize and learn about Gmail is the web. For example, you can’t use the Gmail application on the phone to create the labels and filters that you use to organize your messages, but you can label a message. Gmail on the web offers complete information about the service, so it’s the best place to learn about all of the features of Gmail.

Gmail is for Gmail Of course you can use Gmail to send email to any email address, and anyone can send email to you at your Gmail address. But if you want to read messages from another email service provider (using your AOL, Yahoo!, or other email account), you must use the Email application. See “Email”on page 120.

Searching for Messages

With the Gmail application, it is very easy to search and find specific emails. When you search for emails, all of the emails in your Google account on the web are included in your search (except those labeled Trash or Spam), not just those that you’ve synchronized onto your phone.

You can also use the advanced search options as described on the Gmail website.

From the Inbox, press the

Menu Key Search. Or from the Inbox, touch the Search Key

Enter the word or words to search for then touch the Search icon to the right of the text field. A list of results will appear, displaying all of the conversations with emails that contain the words you searched for.

Archiving Conversations

You can archive conversations, to move them out of your Inbox without deleting them. Archived conversations are assigned the All Mail label, and also retain any other labels you’ve assigned to them. Archived conversations are also included in search results. If someone replies to a message that you’ve archived, its conversation will be restored

to your Inbox.

To Archive a conversation:

fFrom your Inbox, touch and

hold a conversation then touch Archive in the menu that opens. OR

fCheckmark one or a batch of

conversations in your Inbox then touch the Archive button.

OR f When reading a message,

touch the Archive button at the bottom of the screen.

Synchronizing Your Messages

The Gmail webmail service has the resources to store all the messages you’ve ever sent or received; your phone does not. To save space, Gmail downloads only some of your messages to your phone. Use the Settings application to control how and when applications synchronize their data.

To select which conversations to synchronize

From the Home screen, touch

Gmail

Press the Menu Key and touch Settings > Labels. The Synchronization settings screen opens, displaying a list of your Gmail labels. Below each label is its current synchronization setting: Sync all, Sync 4 days, or with no label. (Conversations with no label are not synchronized.)
