Important Safety Precautions
When riding in a car, do not leave your phone or set up the hands-free kit near the air bag. If
wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag is activated, you may be seriously injured.
Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.
Do not use the phone in areas where its use is prohibited. (For example, aircraft).
 Do not expose the battery charger or adapter to direct sunlight or use it in places with high humidity,
such as a bathroom.
Never store your phone in temperatures less than -15°C or greater than 50°C.
Do not use harsh chemicals (such as alcohol, benzene, thinners, etc.) or detergents to clean your
phone. There is a risk of this causing a fire.
Do not drop, strike, or shake your phone severely. Such actions may harm the internal circuit boards
of the phone.
Do not use your phone in high explosive areas as the phone may generate sparks.
Do not damage the power cord by bending, twisting, pulling, or heating. Do not use the plug if it is loose

electric shock or fire.
Only use the batteries, antennas, and chargers provided by LG. The warranty will not be applied to

Only authorised personnel should service the phone and its accessories. Faulty installation or
service may result in accidents and consequently invalidate the warranty.

Your Phone’s LiIon battery is rechargeable and should be charged as soon as possible so you can
begin using your phone.
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 all the information you were just working on.For a
quick check of your phone’s battery level,glance at the battery charge indicator located in the
upper-right corner of your phone’s display screen.If the battery charge is getting too low,the
battery icon blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone.
Always use an approved desktop charger,travel charger,or vehicle power adapter to charge your
battery.
Warning! Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your phone and void the
warranty.
