Battery and Charger
XX-approved or LG-approved batteries and accessories can be found at XX Stores or
through LG; or call to order. They’re also available at www.XX.com.
WARNING: Use only XX-approved or LG-approved batteries and chargers with your
device. The failure to use a XX-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 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: 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
device automatically turns off, and you will lose any information you were just working on.
Always use a XX-approved or LG-approved desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power
adapter to charge your battery.
1. Connect the cableless wall adapter and USB data cable. Connect 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/Accessories Jack and the other
end into an electrical outlet. The charge time varies depending upon the battery level.
With the XX-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 Jack 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 bus-
powered USB hub.
LG USB Driver is downloadable from the following site: http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-
phones/index.jsp > Click Mobile Support > Select the Carrier(XX) > Select the Model
LG-LS831 > Click USB Cable Driver to download.

TTY Use With XX 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:
To access the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) for assistance with TTY calls:
► Dial call to reach an operator.
For additional information about XX Relay Services and TTY compatibility, call XX Relay
Customer Service or visit www.XX.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 XX 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.

Calendar, sync data only from the first Google Account you set up with your device, or from an
account associated specifically with that application.
For some accounts, syncing is two-directional; changes that you make to the information on
your device are synchronized with the accounts on the Web or computer. Your Google Account

contact entries contain information from multiple sources: information that you added manually,
information joined from multiple accounts to consolidate duplicates, etc.
If you find duplicate entries in Contacts, you can join them into a single entry. If you find that
unrelated contacts were joined in error, you can separate them.
Changes made to information from one source do not automatically change the information on
the other sources. For example, if you have information about a contact from a Google Account
and an Exchange account and both are configured to sync contacts, changes to the contact
from the Google Account are synced to that account on the Web, but the information from the
Exchange account will remain unchanged.

Gmail
This email client is Google’s web-based email service. (See Synchronizing Your Google
Account.)
From a computer, launch your preferred Web browser and navigate to www.gmail.com.
Depending on your synchronization settings, Google Mail (along with calendar events, phone
numbers and other contact information) on your device is automatically synchronized between
your device and your Gmail account on the Web.
Note: You must have a valid and active Google account prior to using this email client.
● Gmail is web-based: Your messages are stored online, on Google™ servers, but you
can read, write, and organize messages by using the Gmail application on your device
or a web browser on a computer. Because your mail is stored on Google servers, you
can search your entire message history, backed by the speed and power of Google
search. Any actions taken in the Gmail phone application are reflected on the web
browser. For example, if you read a message in Gmail on your device, it will be marked
as read in a Web browser. And a message that you send using a browser, or even a
draft of a message, is visible in Gmail on the device.
● Gmail is conversation-based: Every related message is grouped in your Inbox as a
single conversation tread. In other email applications, replies to messages are sent as
individual messages, making it difficult to keep track of related messages. Gmail makes
it easy to follow conversations with its conversation threads.
● Gmail is organized by labels, not by folders: By tagging messages with labels, you
can organize your conversations in many different ways. Whereas in other email
applications, each message can only be stored in one folder. For example, with Gmail
you can label a conversation with your mother about your brother’s birthday present with
both “Mom” and “Dave.” Later, you can look for the all messages containing either label.
Using folders, you'd have to store the message in the “Mom” folder or the “Dave” folder,
not both.
● Gmail for the phone is optimized for mobile: Some features are only accessible on
your computer browser. The best place to organize and learn about Gmail is the Web.
For example, you can't use the Gmail application on the device to create the labels and
filters that you use to organize your messages, but you can label a message. Gmail on
Account and Messaging 79
the Web offers complete information about the service, so it’s the best place to learn
about all of the features of Gmail.
● Gmail is for Gmail: Of course you can use Gmail to send email to any email address,
and anyone can send email to you at your Gmail address. But if you want to read
messages from another email service provider (using your AOL, Yahoo!, or other email
account), you must use the Email application. (See Email.)
Setting Up other Email accounts via the Device
The Email application only reveals all currently added Email accounts. To view additional email
accounts within the main Email screen, they must first be added.
1. Tap > > Email.
2. Follow the onscreen instructions to setup an Email account.
Tap Manual setup to configure your connection settings manually (POP3 or IMAP).
Follow the onscreen prompts and enter the information specific to your carrier.
Opening Gmail and Your Inbox
When you open the Gmail application, the most recent conversations are displayed in your
Inbox.

sender has a Google account. If you want to contact the sender, touch the Contact's picture ID
to open Quick Contact. (See Communicating with Your Contacts.) When reading messages in a
conversation, you can use the buttons at the bottom of the screen to archive the entire
conversation (see Archiving Conversations) or Delete to delete it. After you delete a
conversation, you can touch Undo in the yellow bar that appears at the top of the Inbox screen
to return the message to the Inbox. You can scroll to the bottom of a message to access buttons
for replying to or forwarding the message, as described in Replying to or Forwarding a Message.
To reread a message:
When you open a conversation, messages that you’ve already read are minimized into a tab
that indicates the number of hidden messages.
1. Tap > > Gmail.
2. Tap the conversation you want to view, then touch the tab indicating minimized
messages.
3. Tap the contact name to open that message.
When reading a message or when its tab is selected, you can tap <Arrow Key> > Mark Unread

the messages that you send are stored on your device, with the Outbox label until you
connect to a network again.
Replying to or Forwarding a Message
You can continue an email conversation by replying to a message or by forwarding it.
To reply to or forward a message:
1. Scroll to the bottom of a message.
2. Tap Reply, Reply to all, or Forward.
Replying to or forwarding messages without changing the subject adds your reply to
the current conversation. Changing the subject starts a new conversation.
The message will open in a new screen where you can add or remove addresses,
edit the subject, and add or remove text or attachments, as described in Composing
and Sending a Message.
Account and Messaging 82
You can add one or more people to an ongoing conversation by replying to all and
then adding the new person's address(es) to the message.
All of the messages in the conversation are included in the new message; any
messages that follow the message you forward are omitted.

Mute, Mark read/Mark unread, or Deselect all.
The chosen action affects the selected batch of messages. If you accidentally delete
a batch of conversations, you can tap Undo in the yellow bar (that appears briefly
after the action) at the top of the Inbox screen to return the messages to the Inbox or
appropriate label. You can also use Undo after muting, archiving, and reporting
spam. If you never work with batches of messages, you can hide the check boxes to
leave more room for the subjects of conversations. (See Changing Gmail Settings.)

HAC statement
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that
it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been
tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly
and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any
interfering noise. Consult your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone for information on
hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult your service
provider or phone retailer.
FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Wireless Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket
01-309 modified the exception of wireless phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988
(HAC Act) to require digital wireless phones be compatible with hearing-aids. The intent of the HAC Act
is to ensure reasonable access to telecommunications services for persons with hearing disabilities.
While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants),
users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than
others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for wireless phones, to assist hearing
device users to find phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been
rated. Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label located on the box.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user's hearing device and hearing loss.
If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone
successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your
personal needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to
hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to
hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. T4 is the better/ higher of the two ratings.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may
help you find this rating. Higher ratings mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to interference
noise. The hearing aid and wireless phone rating values are then added together. A sum of 5 is considered
acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered for best use. In the example to the left, if a hearing
aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless phone meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the two values
equal M5. This should provide the hearing aid user with “normal usage” while using their hearing aid
with the particular wireless phone. “Normal usage” in this context is defined as a signal quality that’s
acceptable for normal operation. The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T mark
is intended to be synonymous with the UT mark. The M and T marks are recommended by the Alliance
for Telecommunications Industries Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in Section
20.19 of the FCC Rules. The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard. When you're talking on a cell phone,
it's recommended that you turn the BT (Bluetooth) mode off for HAC.
