Getting to know your phone
Before you start using the phone, please read this!
Please check to see whether any problems
you encountered with your phone are
described in this section before taking the
phone in for service or calling a service
representative.
1. Phone memory
When there is less than 10% of space
available in your phone memory, your
phone cannot receive new messages. You
need to check your phone memory and
delete some data, such as applications
or messages, to make more memory
available.
To uninstall applications:
1 Touch
> Apps tab > Settings >
Apps from the DEVICE category.
2 Once all applications appear, scroll to
and select the application you want to
uninstall.
3 Touch Uninstall.
2. Optimising battery life
Extend your battery's life between
charges by turning off features that you
don't need to having running constantly
in the background. You can monitor
how applications and system resources
consume battery power.
Extending your phone's battery life:
• Turn off radio communications you are
not using. If you are not using Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth or GPS, turn them off.
• Reduce screen brightness and set a
shorter screen timeout.
• Turn off automatic syncing for Google
Mail™, Calendar, Contacts and other
applications.
• Some applications you have downloaded
may reduce battery power.
To check the battery power level:
> Apps tab > Settings
• Touch
> About phone from the SYSTEM >
Status
The battery status (charging or not
charging) and level (percentage charged) is
displayed at the top of the screen.
To monitor and control how battery
power is being used:
• Touch
> Apps tab > Settings
> Power Saver from the DEVICE >
Battery use from the BATTERY.
Battery usage time is displayed on the
screen. It tells you how long it has been
since you last connected your phone to a
power source or, if currently connected,
how long the phone was last running
on battery power. The screen shows the
applications or services using battery
power, listed in order from the greatest to
smallest amount used.
3. Using folders
You can combine several app icons in a
folder. Drop one app icon over another on
a Home screen, and the two icons will be
combined.
NOTE: To see a smaller collection
of frequently used apps, touch the
Google Apps folder near the bottom of
the screen. As with any folder, you can
customize its contents.
NOTE: After you open an app, you can
usually adjust its settings by choosing
items from its Menu icon near the top
or bottom of the screen.
4. Before installing an open
source application and OS
WARNING
If you install and use an OS other than
the one provided by the manufacturer it
may cause your phone to malfunction.
In addition, your phone will no longer
be covered by the warranty.
WARNING
To protect your phone and personal
data, only download applications
from trusted sources, such as Google
Play Store™. If there are improperly
installed applications on your phone,
it may not work normally or a serious
error may occur. You must uninstall
those applications and all associated
data and settings from the phone.
Getting to know your phone
5. Using the hard reset
(Factory reset)
If your phone needs to be restored to its
original condition, use hard reset to reboot
your phone.
1 When the phone is switched off, press
and hold the Volume down key +
Power key with your left hand.
2 When the LED on the bottom of the phone
lights up, touch and hold the Menu key
with your right hand. You need to do this
immediately, before the screen displays

still holding the Volume down and Power
keys. Then release the power key at
vibration time.
3 When the LG logo is displayed on the
screen, continue to hold the keys for
around 2 seconds, and then release all
them at the same time, before the LG
logo disappears.
Leave your phone for at least a minute
while the hard reset is carried out. You will
then be able to switch your phone back on.
Caution: If you perform a hard reset,
all user applications and user data will
be deleted. This cannot be reversed.
Remember to back up any important data
before performing a hard reset.
6. Opening and switching
applications
Multitasking is easy with Android because
you can keep more than one application
running at the same time. There's no
need to quit an application before opening
another. Use and switch between several
open applications. Android manages each
application, stopping and starting them
as needed to ensure that idle applications
don't consume resources unnecessarily.
To return to view list recently used
applications:
Simply press and hold the Home key.
To stop applications:
1 Touch
> Apps tab > Settings >
Apps from the DEVICE > RUNNING tab.
