Important notice
Please read this before you start using your phone!
Please check to see whether any problems you encountered with your phone are
described in this section before taking the phone in for service or calling a service
representative.
1. Phone memory
When there is less than 10MB of space available in your phone memory, your
phone cannot receive new messages. You need to check your phone memory
and delete some data, such as applications or messages, to make more memory
available.
To uninstall applications:
1 From the Home screen, tap > Apps tab (if necessary) > Settings >
Apps.
2 Once all applications appear, scroll to and select the application you want to
uninstall.
3 Tap Uninstall, then tap OK to confirm.
2. Optimizing battery life
Extend your battery's life between charges by turning off features that you
don't need to have running constantly in the background. You can monitor how
applications and system resources consume battery power.

6
Important notice
Extending your phone's battery life:
t Turn off radio communications when you're not using. If you are not using Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth or Location, turn them off.
t Reduce screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.
t Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts and other applications.
t Some applications you have downloaded may reduce battery power.
To check the battery power level:
t From the Home screen, tap > Apps tab (if necessary) > Settings >
About phone > Battery.
The battery status (charging or discharging) and battery level (percentage charged)
is displayed at the top of the screen.
To monitor and control how battery power is being used:
t From the Home screen, tap > Apps tab (if necessary) > Settings >
About phone > Battery > Battery use.
Battery usage time is displayed on the screen. It tells you how long it has been
since you last connected your phone to a power source or, if currently connected,
how long the phone was last running on battery power. The screen shows the
applications or services using battery power, listed in order from the greatest to
smallest amount used.

3. Before installing an open source application and
operating system (OS)
WARNING
If you install and use an OS other than the one provided by the
manufacturer it may cause your phone to malfunction. In addition, your
phone will no longer be covered by the warranty.
WARNING
To protect your phone and personal data, only download applications
from trusted sources, such as Play Store. If there are improperly installed
applications on your phone, the phone may not work normally or a
serious error may occur. You must uninstall those applications and all
associated data and settings from the phone.
4. Using a screen lock
Set a screen lock to secure your phone and prevent unauthorized use. From the
Home screen, tap > Apps tab (if necessary) > Settings > Lock screen
> Select screen lock > Knock Code, Face Unlock Pattern, PIN, or Password.
Some options will prompt you to create a Backup PIN as a safety measure in case
you forget your screen lock.
Caution: Create a Google account before setting a screen lock and
remember the Backup PIN you created when creating your screen lock.

WARNING
Precautions to take when using a screen lock.
It is very important to remember the screen lock you set. You will not be
able to access your phone if you use an incorrect screen lock 5 times. If
you have used all 5 opportunities, you can try again after 30 seconds.
5. Using Hard Reset (Factory Reset)
If your phone needs to be restored to its original condition, use a Hard Reset to
initialize your phone.
WARNING
If you perform a Hard Reset, all user applications and user data will
be deleted. Please remember to back up any important data before
performing a Hard Reset.
1 Turn the phone off.
2 Press and hold the Power/Lock Key + Volume Down Key at the same time.
3 Release the Power/Lock Key only when the LG logo is displayed, then
immediately press and hold it again.
4 Release all of the keys when the Factory data reset screen is displayed.
5 Press the Volume Down Key to scroll to Yes, then press the Power/Lock Key
to confirm.

9
6 Press the Volume Down Key to scroll to Yes once again, then press the
Power/Lock Key to confirm.
7 Your phone performs a factory reset.
6. Opening and switching applications
Multi-tasking is easy with Android because you can keep more than one
application running at the same time. There is no need to quit an application
before opening another one. Use and switch between several open applications.
Android manages each application, stopping and starting them as needed to
ensure that idle applications don't consume resources unnecessarily.
To stop applications:
1 From the Home screen, tap > Apps tab (if necessary) > Settings >
Apps > RUNNING.
2 Tap the desired application and tap Stop to stop it.
7. Transferring music, photos and videos using
Media sync (MTP)
1 Connect the phone to your PC using the USB cable provided with your phone.
2 A USB connection type list will appear on your phone screen. Tap the Media
sync (MTP) option.
3 Select the Open device to view files option on your PC. You can then view
media contents on your PC and transfer the files.
4 Copy the files from your PC to the drive folder or vice versa.
