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.
WARNING:
Use only Sprint-approved or LG-approved batteries and chargers with your
device. 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.
Battery Capacity
Your device 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 its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When there are
approximately two minutes of talk time left, the device can sound an audible alert and then turn
off.
Note:
Long backlight settings, searching for service, using vibrate mode, browser use, and
other variables may reduce the battery‘s talk and standby times.
Tip:
Watch your device's battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of
power.
Installing the Battery
► See Setting Up Your Device.
Removing the Battery
1. Make sure the power is turned off so that you don‘t lose any unsaved items.
2. Lift the back cover using the fingertip cutout located at the bottom of the cover and
remove it.
3. Lift the battery using the fingertip cutout and remove it from the device.
WARNING:
Device Basics
Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned.
15
Charging the Battery
Keeping track of your battery‘s charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your
device automatically turns off, and you will lose any information you were just working on.
Always use a Sprint-approved or LG-approved desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power
adapter to charge your battery.
1. Connect the cableless wall adapter and USB cable as shown; the LG logo on the USB
cable should face toward you.
2. Plug one end of the USB cable into the device's Charger/Accessory Port and the other
end into an electrical outlet. The charge time varies depending upon the battery level.
With the Sprint-approved Li-Ion battery, you can recharge the battery before it becomes
completely rundown.
Battery Temperature Protection
Though extremely rare, if the battery becomes overheated, the phone will automatically turn off.
Charging with USB
You can use your computer to charge your device. 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 device 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 (see NOTE below).
Note: Low-power USB ports are not supported, such as the USB port on your keyboard or buspowered USB hub.
LG USB Driver is downloadable from the following site: http://www.lg.com/us/ > Click
Support > Mobile Phone Support > Select the Carrier(Sprint) > Select the Model
LS696 > Click USB Cable Driver to download.
Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to save
unnecessary power consumption of the charger.

Enhanced 911 (E911) Information
This phone features an embedded Global Positioning System (GPS) chip necessary for utilizing
E911 emergency location services where available. When you place an emergency 911 call, the
GPS feature of your phone seeks information to calculate your approximate location. Depending
on several variables, including availability and access to satellite signals, it may take up to 30
seconds or more to determine and report your approximate location.
Important:
Always report your location to the 911 operator when placing an
emergency call. Some designated emergency call takers, known as Public
Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) may not be equipped to receive GPS location
information from your phone.
TTY Use With Sprint Service
A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications device that allows
people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to
communicate by telephone.
Your device is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with the manufacturer of your
TTY device to ensure that it is compatible with digital cell phones. Your phone and TTY device
will connect via a special cable that plugs into your device's headset jack. If this cable was not
provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase the
connector cable.
To turn TTY Mode on or off:
1. Tap
> Settings > Call settings > TTY mode.
2. Tap TTY Off to turn TTY mode off.

For additional information about Sprint Relay Services and TTY compatibility, call Sprint Relay
Customer Service at 800-676-3777 or visit www.sprintrelay.com.
Note: In TTY Mode, your device will display the TTY access icon. When enabled, TTY mode
may impair the audio quality of non-TTY devices connected to the headset jack.
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.
