Note: Do not expose the device in conditions that are different from the test conditions. Results may vary
in actual use.

Warning: Despite a rating of IP68, your device is not impervious to conditions not tested in LG’s
controlled environment. Please note that any damages that occur due to such causes changes the color
of the LDI (Liquid Damage Indicator). If the color of LDI located inside the product changes, the product is
to be considered ineligible for any free-of-charge repair services provided under the product's limited
warranty. Avoid exposing the product to environments with excessive dust or moisture. Do not use the

If your product becomes wet, be sure to wipe the microphone, speaker, and stereo jack with a dry cloth
before use.

● Should your product or your hands become wet, dry them before handling the product.

● Do not use the product in places where it may be sprayed with high pressure water (e.g. near a

faucet or shower head) or submerge it in water for extended periods of time, as the product is not
designed to withstand high water pressure.

● This product is not resistant to shock. Do not drop the product or subject it to shock. Doing so
might damage or deform the main unit, causing water leakage.

● The product’s water and dust resistant features may be damaged by dropping or receiving an
impact.

Exposing the open tray to water or moisture may damage the product.

● The SIM/Memory card tray contains rubber packing to help prevent dust, water, or moisture from
entering the product. Do not damage the rubber packing as this may allow dust, water, or
moisture to enter your product and cause damage.

Warning: Failure to follow the provided instructions may invalidate your device’s limited warranty.

4. After charging, disconnect the phone from the charger.
 Unplug the fast charge adapter from the outlet, and remove the USB cable from the phone

and the adapter.

Note: Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to save
unnecessary power consumption of the charger.

Note: Do not use third party chargers with your device as they may not support fast charging and may
cause damage to your device.

Basic Operations 18

Precautions for Fingerprint Recognition

Fingerprint recognition accuracy may decrease due to a number of reasons. To maximize the recognition
accuracy, check the following before using the device:

● The device’s Power/Lock key has a fingerprint sensor. Ensure that the Power/Lock key is not
damaged by a metallic object, such as coin or key.

● When water, dust or another foreign substance is on the Power/Lock key or your finger, the
fingerprint registration or recognition may not work. Clean and dry your finger before having the
fingerprint recognized.

● A fingerprint may not be recognized properly if the surface of your finger has a scar or is not
smooth due to being soaked in water.

● If you bend your finger or use the fingertip only, your fingerprint may not be recognized. Make
sure that your finger covers the entire surface of the Power/Lock key.

● Scan only one finger for each registration. Scanning more than one finger may affect fingerprint
registration and recognition.

● The device may generate static electricity if the surrounding air is dry. If the surrounding air is dry,
avoid scanning fingerprints, or touching a metallic object such as coin or key before scanning
fingerprints to remove static electricity.

Registering Fingerprints

You can register and save your fingerprint on the device to use fingerprint identification.

1. Tap > Settings > General tab > Fingerprints & security > Fingerprints.

Note: This feature is available when the secured lock is activated. Lock the device with Knock Code,
Pattern, PIN or Password. If the screen lock is not active, configure the lock screen by following the on­screen instructions. See Select Screen Lock for details.

2. Locate the Power/Lock key on the back of the device and gently put your finger on it to register
the fingerprint.

Note: Gently press the Power/Lock key so that the sensor can recognize your fingerprint. If you press the
Power/Lock key with an excessive force, the screen lock function may start or the screen may be turned
off. Ensure that your fingertip covers the entire surface of the sensor of the Power/Lock key.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
 Repeat scanning the fingerprint by moving your finger little by little until the fingerprint

registers.

4. When the fingerprint registration is done, tap OK.

Basic Operations 19

 Tap ADD MORE to register another fingerprint. If you register only one fingerprint and the

corresponding finger is not in a good condition, the fingerprint recognition may not work well.
As the preventive measure against this kind of situation, register multiple fingerprints.

Managing Fingerprints

You can edit or delete registered fingerprints.

1. Tap > Settings > General tab > Fingerprints & security > Fingerprints.

2. Unlock according to the specified lock method.

3. From the fingerprint list, tap a fingerprint to rename it.
