Please refer to the LG U8380 manufacturer’s user guide for LG’s Emergency Services
and Safety Precautions information.
Ready for it.
User guides can be daunting things, can’t they?
Well we’ve made this one as simple as possible. Let’s go.
Your user guide is designed to do two things. First there’s an
explanation on how to use your new LG U8380, so finding your way
around the mobile will soon become second nature. Then there’s an
introduction to the wide range of services offered by 3, to make sure
you get the best from them.
If all you want to do is power up and get going, that’s fine. But if you
want to know more about what you can do with 3, you’ll find it here.
