Extend Your Battery Life - LG LS970 Sprint User Manual

Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, using vibrate mode, browser use, and
other variables may reduce the battery's talk and standby times.
Tip: Watch your device's battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of
power.
Battery Temperature Protection
Though extremely rare, if the battery becomes overheated, the phone will automatically turn off.
Charge with USB
You can use your computer to charge your device. 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 device 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.
LG USB Driver is downloadable from the following site: http://www.lg.com/us/ > Select
Mobile > Drivers & Downloads. Under the Download Drivers/ Phone Updates section,
click on Click here to download your mobile driver.
Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to save
unnecessary power consumption of the charger.
