Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Emergency calls
Emergency calls may not be available on all
mobile networks. Therefore you should never
depend solely on your phone for emergency
calls. Check with your local service provider.
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.
• Keep the metal contacts of the battery
clean.
• Replace the battery when it no longer
provides acceptable performance. The
battery pack may be recharged hundreds
of times before it needs replacing.
• 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.
8
• Do not leave the battery 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 phone 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.
