pack may be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing.
•
Recharge the battery if it has not been used for a long time to maximise usability.
•
Do not expose the battery charger to direct sunlight or use it in high humidity, such as
in the bathroom.
•
Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, as this may deteriorate battery
performance.
•
There is risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type.
•
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. Please recycle
when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
•
If you need to replace the battery, take it to the nearest authorised LG Electronics
service point or dealer for assistance.
•
Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to
save unnecessary power consumption of the charger.
•
Actual battery life will depend on network configuration, product settings, usage
16
patterns, battery and environmental conditions.
•
Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal’s teeth or nails, come into
contact with the battery. This could cause a fire.
Driver Safety Tips
Your mobile telephone gives you the powerful ability to communicate almost anywhere,
anytime, but an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of mobile phones,
one that every user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility.
When using your mobile phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense
and remember the following tips:
•
Use a hands free device to add an additional layer of convenience and safety to your
wireless phone with one of the many hands free accessories available today.
•
Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the
call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even
heavy traffic can be hazardous.
•
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Typing up a “to do”
list or flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary
responsibility of driving safely.
•
Place calls when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls
when you will not be driving.
•
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make
people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that
have the potential to divert your attention from the road.
•
Use your mobile phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident,
crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call the
emergency number, as you would want others to do for you.
•
If you see a broken down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal,
a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be
stolen, call roadside assistance, local traffic authority or police station.

pattern 5 times, tap the Forgot pattern? button at the bottom of the screen. You are
then required to log in with your Google Account or you have to enter the Backup PIN
which you entered when creating your Pattern Lock.
If you have not created a Google account on the phone or you forgot Backup PIN, you
have to perform a hard reset.
< If you have forgotten your PIN or Password >
If you forget your PIN or Password, you will need to perform a hard reset.
Caution: If you perform a hard reset, all user applications and user data will be
deleted.
22
NOTE: If you have not logged into your Google Account and have forgotten
your Unlock Pattern, you will need to enter your Backup PIN.
5. Using the Hard Reset (Factory Reset)

Your Home screen
Touch screen tips
Here are some tips on how to navigate on your phone.
Tap or touch – 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 tapping 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.
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.
Swipe or slide – To swipe or slide, quickly move your finger across the surface of the
screen, without pausing when you first tap 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 webpage or a map. For example, quickly
double-tap a section of a webpage to adjust that section to fit the width of the screen.
You can also double-tap to zoom in and out while viewing the picture.
Pinch-to-Zoom – Use your index finger and thumb in a pinching or spreading motion
to zoom in or out when using the browser or Maps, or when browsing pictures.
Rotate the screen – From many applications and menus, the orientation of the screen
adjusts to the device's physical orientation.
NOTE:
• To select an item, tap the center of the icon.
• Do not press too hard; the tap screen is sensitive enough to pick up a light,
yet firm tap.
• Use the tip of your finger to tap the option you want. Be careful not to tap
any other keys.
