Charge with USB
You can use your computer to charge your phone. To be able to charge with the USB cable, you
need to install the necessary USB drivers on your computer first. Connect one end of the USB cable
to the Charger/Accessory Port on your phone and connect the other end to a USB port on your
computer. It is best to use the rear USB port when connecting to a desktop computer. The USB hub
should be powered by an external power source.
Note: Low-power USB ports are not supported, such as the USB port on your keyboard or bus-
powered USB hub.
The LG USB Driver is downloadable from the following site: http://www.lg.com/us/ > Select
SUPPORT. In the Search box next to SEARCH BY PRODUCT, enter the model number or name,
click the model, and click the search icon. On the PRODUCT SUPPORT page, click on Software
Update & Drivers.
Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to save unnecessary
power consumption of the charger.

query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your battery.
Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging your phone. Repeating this

process of a complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce the storage capacity of any
battery.

Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications.
