Battery information and care
You do not need to completely discharge the battery before recharging. Unlike other
•
battery systems, there is no memory effect that could compromise the battery's
performance.
Use only LG batteries and chargers. LG chargers are designed to maximise the battery
•
life.
Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
•
Recharge the battery if it has not been used for a long time to maximise usability.
•
Do not expose the battery charger to direct sunlight or use it in high humidity, such as
•
in the bathroom.
Do not leave the device in hot or cold places, as this may deteriorate battery
performance.
There is risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type.
•
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. Please recycle
•
when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
If you need to replace the battery, take it to the nearest authorised LG Electronics
•
service point or dealer for assistance.
Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the device is fully charged to save
•
unnecessary power consumption of the charger.
Actual battery life will depend on network configuration, product settings, usage
•
patterns, battery and environmental conditions.
Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal's teeth or nails, come into contact
•
with the battery. This could cause a fire.
