10 The Basics
Non-Removable Battery
Your tablet has an internal, rechargeable battery that should be replaced
only by LG or an authorized LG repair center. You should never try to open
or take apart this tablet yourself. Opening the tablet can cause damage that
will void your warranty.
Charging your tablet
A rechargeable battery is used to power your tablet. Charge the battery
using the USB cable (power cord) and the charger (power outlet adapter)
included with your tablet. Make sure to fully charge the battery before
using your tablet for the first time.
WARNING! If the touchscreen won't function while the tablet’s in the process of charging, this
may be due to an unstable power supply. If this occurs, disconnect the USB cable
from the tablet or unplug the charger from the power outlet.
1. Connect the USB cable to the travel adapter.

your tablet and void the warranty.
