The Battery and Power

Your tablet has an internal, rechargeable battery that is not removable. It

should only be replaced by LG or an authorized LG repair center. You should

never try to open or take apart this tablet yourself. Opening the tablet can

cause damage that will void your warranty.

Charging Your Tablet

Your tablet is powered by an internal, rechargeable battery. Charge the

battery using the USB cable (power cord) and the Charger (power adapter)

included with your tablet. Fully charge the battery before using your tablet

for the ﬁrst time to maximize its life cycle.

WARNING! If the touchscreen won't function while the tablet’s in the process of charging, this

may be due to an unstable power supply. If this occurs, disconnect the USB cable

from the tablet or unplug the Charger from the power outlet.

1. Connect the USB cable to the Charger.

USB cableCharger

2. Insert the other end of the USB cable into the USB/Charging Port.

USB Cable

NOTE Correctly orient the cable's plug

with the USB/Charging Port. The

port and/or the plug can be

damaged if you attempt to insert it

incorrectly.

3. Plug the Charger into an electrical outlet.

NOTE Use only an approved charging accessory to charge your tablet. Improper handling of the

USB/Charging Port, as well as the use of an incompatible charger, may cause damage to

automatic syncing (Gmail™, Calendar, etc.).

NOTE Allowing other devices to use your tablet's hotspot connection will also drain your

battery more quickly.

battery power. While using your downloaded apps, check the battery

charge level and monitor the battery usage by your applications.

1. From the Home screen, touch and hold the Recent Apps Key (in

the Touch keys bar) > System settings > About tablet > Battery >

available applications, make menu selections, and access data saved to

your tablet.

The following terms are used for describing the different available gestures

using the touchscreen:

Tap or touch

A single ﬁnger tap selects items, links, shortcuts, and letters on the

on-screen keyboard.

NOTES • To select an item, tap the center of the icon, being careful not to touch any other icons.

• Use the tip of your ﬁnger to touch the option you want, but don't press too hard; the

touchscreen is sensitive enough to pick up a light, yet ﬁrm touch.

Touch and hold

Touch and hold an item on the screen by touching 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. For

example, you can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.

Swipe, slide, or ﬂick

Move your ﬁnger quickly across the surface of the screen, without pausing

when you ﬁrst touch it (so you don’t drag an item instead). For example,

you can browse through the different Home screens by swiping to the left

or right, slide the screen up or down to scroll through a list, or remove an

application from the Recent Apps screen by ﬂicking its graphic off the

screen.

Your Home screen

Double-tap

Tap the screen twice quickly to zoom, highlight text, or turn the screen on/

off. For example, quickly double-tap a section of a webpage to adjust that

section to ﬁt the width of the screen and zoom in and out when viewing a

picture and when using Maps. Double-tap a word to highlight it. Double-tap

can also activate the KnockON feature to turn the touchscreen on or off.

NOTE A triple-tap gesture is used for certain enabled Accessibility features.

Pinch-to-zoom

Use your index ﬁnger and thumb in a pinching motion (to zoom out) or

spreading motion (to zoom in) when using Chrome, a map, photos, the rear

camera lens, the Contacts list, the Favorites list, the Groups list, a music

list, and ThinkFree Ofﬁce documents. Spread apart to make screen

information or the image larger (easier to read and see), or pinch together

to view more area and information. The pinch gesture also changes the

Home screen. Pinch in on the Home screen to change to mini canvas view,

then spread apart to return to the normal Home screen view. Spread apart

on the normal Home screen to hide all of your Home screen items, then

pinch in to redisplay them.

Rotate the screen

From many applications and menus, the orientation of the touchscreen

adjusts to the tablet’s physical orientation. You can deactivate this function

in the Display settings menu.
