Once your phone is on, it may display “Searching for Service.” When your phone finds a signal, it enters standby mode – the phone‟s idle state. At this point, you are ready to begin making and receiving calls.

If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a Power Save feature is automatically activated. When a signal is found, your phone automatically returns to standby mode.

In Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal periodically without your intervention. You can also initiate a search for Sprint service by pressing any key (when your phone is turned on).

Tip: The Power Save feature conserves your battery power when you are in an area where

there is no signal.

Turn Your Phone Off

Battery and Charger

Sprint-approved or LG-approved batteries and accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or through LG, or call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They‟re also available at www.sprint.com.

Phone Basics 15

Battery Capacity

Your phone is equipped with a Li-pol(Embedded) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 17.7 hours of continuous digital talk time.

When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone can sound an audible alert and then turn off.

Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, using vibrate mode, browser use, and

other variable may reduce the battery‟s talk and standby times.

Tip: Watch your phone's battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of

power.

Charge the Battery

Keeping track of your battery's charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your phone automatically turns off and you will lose any information you were just working on.

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

2. Plug one end of the USB cable into the phone's Charger/Accessory 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.

Charge with USB

You can use your computer to charge your phone. To be able to charge with the USB cable, you need to install the necessary USB drivers on your computer first. Connect one end of the USB cable to the Charger/Accessory Port on your phone and connect the other end to a USB port on your computer. It is best to use the rear USB port when connecting to a desktop computer. The USB hub should be powered by an external power source.

Note: Low-power USB ports are not supported, such as the USB port on your keyboard or bus-

powered USB hub.

Phone Basics 16

The LG USB Driver is downloadable from the following site: http://www.lg.com/us/ > Select SUPPORT. In the Search box next to SEARCH PRODUCT SUPPORT, enter the model name or name and click SEARCH. Click the model. On the PRODUCT SUPPORT page, click on Software Update & Drivers.

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

Extend Your Battery Life

You can extend your battery's life between charges by turning off features that run in the background. You can also monitor how applications and system resources consume battery power.

● Reduce your Backlight On time.

● Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.

● Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.

● Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications using this function will

periodically query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your battery.

● Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging your phone.

Repeating this process of a complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce the storage capacity of any battery.

● Turn off Automatic application sync.

● Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications.

Note: If you accidently press the Power/Lock Button while the device is in your pocket, the

screen will turn off automatically in order to save battery power.

Your touchscreen provides an excellent way to interact with and use your Android phone. With the touch of your finger, you can access available applications, make menu selections, and access data saved to your phone. The following terms are used for describing the different available actions using the touchscreen:

● Tap: A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts and letters on the on-screen

keyboard.

● Touch and hold: Touch and hold an item on the screen by touching it and not lifting

your finger until an action occurs. For example, to open a contact„s available options, touch and hold the contact in the Contacts list until the context menu opens.

Phone Basics 21

● 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. You can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them, as described in Add and Remove Widgets on the

Home Screen, or drag the Notifications Panel open, as described in Notifications Panel.

● Swipe or slide: To swipe or slide, quickly move your finger 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 slide the screen up or down to scroll through a list, or browse through the different Home screens by swiping from left to right (and vice versa).

● 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 taking a picture (using the Camera), and when using Maps.
