For a safe and efficient use of battery, follow the below directions.
■ Do not short-circuit the battery.
■ Keep the room temperature between 0
and 60 . Do not expose the machine to the
heat hotter than 60 .
■ Keep the battery out of reach of children.
■ A visible swelling of the battery pack indicates a possible danger. When this occurs,
contact your local vendor or service center immediately.
■ Use only a certified and designated recharger.
■ Keep the battery pack away from heat. (Never put it in a microwave.)
■ Do not leave inside a car under the summer heat.
■ Do not leave or use at a hot and humid place like a sauna.
■ Do not use the machine placed on a heating blanket or other heat reserving materials.

■ Before using this machine, read this guide carefully.
For more efficient use of the battery, read the following carefully.
■ Natural discharge: The battery runs low naturally even if it is kept unused.
■ Periodical full (dis)charge: Repeated recharge in midway shortens the running time gradually. To
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.
■ The system checks the charge status of LG batteries frequently, and then calculates and indicates
the actual battery duration on the current system setup.
■ 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.
■ When the battery is fully charged the machine stops recharging, and it resumes recharging when
the battery charge rate drops below 95 %.
■ 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.

(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.
108
Secondary Storage Device and Memory
■ 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.
■ To format a memory card, right-click the memory card drive and select Format. When Format
window appears, click Start to continue.
■ 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.
■ If the writing prevention tab of memory card is locked, the user cannot format the memory stick
nor write or delete the data.
■ SD, MMC memory cards can be used only as storage devices and do not support the copyright
protection function.
When using an MMC card:
■ 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.
■ 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:
■ 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. LG
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.
Each socket supports 1024 MB - 2048 MB, and the maximum capacity of the main board is 4 GB.
■ When expanding the memory, add a memory with the same specification (DDR3 SDRAM for
1.5 V). (Subject to change depending on model type)
■ 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.
■ Disconnect the telephone line linked to the modem, if any. An electric shock or fire
may occur.
Supported Memory
■ PC3-10600S(1066 MHz) 1 GB(1024 MB) or 2 GB(2048 MB) DDR3 SDRAM
SO-DIMM
™When you expand your memory capacity, make sure to use the memory from the
same company.
X Preparing Memory
Before purchasing memory, study the specifications and features of the current memory.
1. Rated Capacity: PC3-10600S(1066 MHz) DDR2 SDRAM SO-DIMM
2. Speed: 1066 MHz (533 MHz x 2)
