lengthen the span, charge and discharge the battery to the fullest once or twice. For optimal use,
execute the full charge/discharge every 30 to 60 days. Still better, recharge the battery after it
has run out.
The battery capacity may change due to chemical reactions during charge and discharge.
Ĺś The system checks the charge status of LG batteries frequently, and then calculates and indicates
the actual battery duration on the current system setup.
Ĺś The battery is wearable goods and thus the life span may be getting shorter as used. The battery
running time may also become shorter accordingly.
Ĺś When the battery is fully charged the machine stops recharging, and it resumes recharging when
the battery charge rate drops below 95 %.
Ĺś When the temperature of the battery drops below 9.6, it is charged in a low current. In this case,
charging time may stretched to 32 hours or longer.

11-1. Using the Memory Card
X Checking Available Memory Card
™This product supports SD, MMC, Memory Stick memory cards.
SD, MMC, Memory Stick cards are mobile storage devices like a floppy disk, widely used in many
digital products these days.
To use a mini SD, micro SD or MMC mobile card, mount it on the dedicated adapter and insert the
adapter into the multi-card slot in the notebook PC.
Directly

memory cards
Memory cards applicable indirectly through
dedicated adapter
(The available memory type and capacity may differ by the computer model type.)
™Check availability before buying a memory card.
X Mounting and Using Memory Card
Insert the card into the multi-card slot to the fullest in the right direction.












Secondary Storage Device and Memory
Ĺś When the memory card is formatted, the data stored in the memory card will be deleted. Check
whether there are important data before formatting the memory stick.
Ĺś To format a memory card, right-click the memory card drive and select Format. When Format
window appears, click Start to continue.
Ĺś Windows The format feature may not be available on those Windows whose version is lower
than Windows Vista. Format the card on other digital devices or format it after installing Memory Stick Formatter.
Ĺś If the writing prevention tab of memory card is locked, the user cannot format the memory stick
nor write or delete the data.
Ĺś SD, MMC memory cards can be used only as storage devices and do not support the copyright
protection function.
When using an MMC card:
Ĺś Place the MMC card with the arrow facing upward (
), and insert it into the slot.
Forcing the MMC card into the slot may cause an impairment.
Ĺś Some memory products manufactured by Transcend are made of metal and may
cause a short circuit when contacting with the connection port in the multi-card slot.
Avoid using metallic-surfaced memory products. They could offset the system performance.
When using a memory card through dedicated adapter:
Ĺś Use the dedicated adapter. Otherwise a short-circuit may occur, causing damage to
the computer and the memory card.
X Removing memory card
Push the card as depicted in the following picture to make the card spring out of the slot. Pull the card
out in the direction of the arrow.

11-2. Expanding Memory Capacity
You may need to expand the notebook memory for better performance.
™For memory expansion, we recommend that you receive a paid service from a service center certified by LG Electronics. LG Electronics disclaims any responsibility for damage resulting from uncertified service or arbitrary disassembly.
X About Memory
This system uses a 204-pin, SO-DIMM (Small Outline Dual In-Line Memory Module)-type DDR3
SDRAM.
™For T290 Series models that are installed with 1 GB(1024 MB) memory, you can replace 1 GB memory with 2
GB(2048 MB) one.
™T290 Series provides 1 memory slot, and we recommend 2 GB(2048 MB) memory for memory upgrade.
Ĺś When expanding the memory, add a memory with the same specification (DDR3 SDRAM for
1.5 V). (Subject to change depending on model type)
Ĺś The DDR3 memory provides greatly improved transmission rate than existing memories, and is
differently shaped.
To upgrade the machine, turn off the system and disconnect the power cord and the
battery.
Ĺś Disconnect the telephone line linked to the modem, if any. An electric shock or fire
may occur.
Supported Memory
Ĺś PC3-8500S(1066 Mhz)/PC3-10600S(1333 Mhz) DDR3 SDRAM SO-DIMM
™When you expand your memory capacity, make sure to use the memory from the
same company.
™The model that has DDR3 operates at 800 Mhz or 1066 Mhz. The speed depends
on the notebook PC model.
X Preparing Memory
Before purchasing memory, study the specifications and features of the current memory.
1. Rated Capacity: PC3-8500S(1066 Mhz)/10600S(1333 Mhz) DDR3 SDRAM SO-DIMM
Secondary Storage Device and Memory












2. Speed: 1066 MHz (533 MHz x 2) / 1333 Mhz(667 Mhz x 2)
3. Type: 2 GB(2048 MB)
X Replacing the Memory
™Main board configuration, memory socket and memory type may differ by model.
1. Loosen the screw on the rear side of the notebook PC to remove the cover.
2. Pull both side of the clip rims in the direction of the arrow, and then remove the existing memories.

3. Insert the memories to be replaced into the memory socket.
4. Push the memory in the direction of the arrow until you hear a "click" sound.
Secondary Storage Device and Memory












5. After inserting the memory, fasten the cover with the screws.
6. If an error message related to the main memory capacity is displayed during booting after the memory
is expanded, press F2 key and save the settings.
Ĺś Before remove the PC cover, turn off the AC power, and remove the battery and all peripherals.
Then, disconnect the cable.
Ĺś Push till the memory is completely fixed in the lock.
Ĺś Check the memory capacity during the second booting. If the memory capacity is not correct, install the main memory again.
Ĺś Use only the expandable main memory module manufactured by LG. Using a main
memory module other than recommended products may cause malfunctioning of the
notebook PC.
