Extend Your Battery Life - LG Optimus F3 User Manual

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:
Select SUPPORT. In the Search box next to SEARCH PRODUCT SUPPORT, enter the
model name or name and click SEARCH. Click the model. 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.
