Get Started
This section gives you all the information you need to set up your phone and Virgin Mobile
service for the first time.
Your Phone at a Glance
The following illustrations outline your phone's primary external features and buttons.
Set Up Your Phone
You must first install and charge the battery to begin setting up your phone.
1. Install the battery
Remove the battery from its packaging.
Insert the battery into the battery compartment in the back of the phone. Make sure
the connectors align (see step 1 in the following illustration). Gently press down to
secure the battery (see step 2 in the following illustration).

2. Press and hold on the top right of the phone to turn the phone on.
If your phone is activated, it will turn on, search for Virgin Mobile service, and enter
standby mode.
If your phone is not yet activated, see Activate Your Phone for more information.
Battery and Charger
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery
before it is fully drained.
WARNING: Use only Virgin Mobile-approved or LG-approved batteries and chargers with your
phone. The failure to use a Virgin Mobile-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 damage.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, browser use, and other
variables may reduce the battery‟s talk and standby times.
Tip: Watch your phone‟s battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of
power.
Note: Your phone‟s battery should have enough charge for your phone to turn on and find a
signal, set up your voicemail, and make a call. You should fully charge your battery as soon as
possible.
Charge the Battery
Keeping track of your battery‟s charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your
phone automatically turns off, and you will lose any information you were working on.
1. Connect the wall adapter and USB cable as shown.

2. Plug the small end of the charger into the phone‟s Charger/Accessory Port and the other
end into an electrical outlet.
Note: Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to save
unnecessary power consumption of the charger.
