Charging Your Phone
Your phone comes with a USB cable and a charger adapter. You can
connect them together and charge from a power outlet, or you can use the
USB cable alone to charge from your computer. Correctly orient the plugs
before insertion to avoid damaging your phone and cable.
NOTE Please only use an approved charging accessory to charge your LG phone. Improper
handling of the USB/Charger Port, as well as the use of a incompatible charger, may
cause damage to your phone and void the warranty.
1. Correctly orient the USB cable with the charger adapter, and connect
them. As shown below, both the gray arrow on the USB cable and the
LG logo on the adapter will face toward you.
The Basics

When the phone is facing upward, the gray
arrow on the cable will also face upward.
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 USB/Charger Port on
your phone (as shown above) and connect the other end to a USB port on
your PC. It’s best to use the rear USB port when connecting to a desktop
PC. The USB hub should be powered by an external power source.
NOTE You may experience a slower charging rate when charging from your computer.

Anti-Theft Guide
You can set up your device to prevent other people from using it if it’s been
reset to factory settings without your permission. For example, if your device
is lost, stolen, or wiped, only someone with your Google account or screen
lock information can use the device.
All you need to make sure your device is protected is:
Set a screen lock: If your device is lost or stolen but you have a screen
lock set, the device can’t be erased using the Settings menu unless your
screen is unlocked.
Add your Google account on your device: If your device is wiped but
you have your Google account on it, the device can’t finish the setup
process until your Google account information is entered again.
After your device is protected, you’ll need to either unlock your screen or
enter your Google account password if you need to do a factory reset. This
ensures that you or someone you trust is doing the reset.
NOTE Do not forget your Google account and password you had added to your device prior to
performing a factory reset. If you can't provide the account information during the setup
process, you won't be able to use the device at all after performing the factory reset.
To u c h S c r e e n
Your touch screen provides an excellent way to interact with and use your
Android™ phone. With the touch of your finger, you can download and use
available apps, make menu selections, and access data saved to your
phone.
Tou c h or t ap A single finger touch selects items. For example, tap an
icon (e.g., an app, widget, or folder), tap words (e.g., menu selection or to
answer an on-screen question), or touch letters and numbers to type.
NOTE Don't press too hard on the screen. It's sensitive enough to detect a light, firm tap.
Tou c h an d ho ld Touch an item on the screen and don't lift your finger
until an action occurs. For example, to open a context menu for a contact,
touch and hold the contact entry until the menu pops up.

The Basics
Drag Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your
finger, move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position.
For example, you can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.
Swipe, slide, or flick Move your finger quickly across the surface of the
screen, without pausing when you first touch it (so you don’
t drag an item
instead). For example, you can browse through the Home screens by
swiping left and right, slide the screen up or down to scroll through a list,
or remove an app from the Recent apps screen by flicking its graphic off
the screen.
Double-tap Tap the screen twice quickly to zoom, highlight text, or turn
the screen on/off. For example, quickly double-tap a section of a web
page to zoom that section to fit the width of the screen and control the
zoom in Maps and in other apps. Double-tap a word to highlight it.
Double-tap can also activate the KnockON feature to turn the screen on or
off.
NOTE Certain Accessibility features (such as Touch zoom) use a triple-tap gesture to zoom or
activate functions. A triple-tap will also activate a new event in the Calendar app.
Pinch-to-zoom Use your index finger and thumb in a pinch motion (to
zoom out) or spread motion (to zoom in) when using Chrome, a map,
photos, the rear camera lens, and in lists (e.g., Contacts, Favorites, the
Messaging list, and a music list. Spread apart to make screen information
larger (easier to see and read), or pinch together to view more area and
information. The pinch gesture also changes the Home screen. Pinch in
on the Home screen to change to mini panel view, then spread apart to
return to the full screen view. Spread apart on the Home screen to hide all
of your Home screen items, then pinch in to redisplay them.
Rotate the screen From many apps and menus, the orientation of the
screen adjusts to the phone’
