Introduction

The LG Remarq and its packaging are designed with environmentally responsible components including:

䢇 The outer casing is made from 19 percent post-

consumer recycled plastic and the handset as a whole is 87 percent recyclable. The device meets RoHS standards for restriction of hazardous materials such as lead, mercury and cadmium.

䢇 Remarq contains low levels of polyvinyl chloride

(PVC) and brominated flame retardants (BFR): two materials commonly targeted on green electronics guidelines.

䢇 The Remarq is powered by an Energy Star-qualified

charger which meets the energy-efficiency standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

䢇 The packaging is fully recyclable packaging

featuring a brown craft paper exterior and made from 87 percent post consumer material (PCM). The images and text on the box, as well as all in-box materials, are printed with soy ink.

䢇 The paper manual has been replaced with an online

user manual.

In addition, LG Remarq comes pre-loaded with an innovative Eco Calculator application that allows customers to calculate C0

2 reduction savings by

walking or cycling as opposed to driving their cars. The reduction is calculated in pounds of C0

2 or trees

planted.

Battery and Charger

WARNING: Use only Sprint-approved or LG-approved

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

batteries and chargers with your phone. The failure to use a Sprint-approved or LG-approved battery and charger may increase the risk that your phone will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.

www.sprint.com.

Battery Capacity

Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 5.5 hours of continuous digital talk time.

When the battery reaches 5% of it

s capacity, the battery icon blinks. When there are approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then turns off.

Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate

mode, browser use, and other variables 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.

Installing the Battery

䊳 See “Setting Up Your Phone” on page 2 .

Removing the Battery

1. Make sure the power is off so that you don’t lose

any stored numbers or messages.

2. Slide the cover up and remove the battery from the

phone.

WARNING: Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion

battery as you can be burned.

Charging 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.

Always use a Sprint-approved or LG-approved desktop

harger, travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to

c charge your battery.

䊳 Plug the small end of the charger into the phone’s

charger jack and the other end into an electrical outlet.

䡲 A red indicator light means the battery is charging. 䡲 A green indicator light means the battery is at

least 90 percent charged.

WARNING: 911 Emergency Calling

Sprint recommends that TTY users make emergency calls by other means, including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when received by public safety answering points (PSAPs), rendering some communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and the PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.
