Battery Information and Care
●
Please dispose of your battery properly or take it to
your local wireless carrier for recycling.
●
The battery doesn't need to be empty before recharging.
●
Use only LG-approved chargers specific to your phone
model since they are designed to maximize battery life.
●
Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
●
Keep the battery’s metal contacts clean.
●
Replace the battery when it no longer provides
acceptable performance. The battery can be recharged
several hundred times before replacement.
●
Recharge the battery after long periods of non-use to
maximize battery life.
●
Battery life will vary due to usage patterns and
environmental conditions.
●
Use of extended backlighting, Browser, and data
connectivity kits affect battery life and talk/standby times.
●
The self-protection function of the battery cuts the
power of the phone when its operation is in an
abnormal state. In this case, remove the battery from
the phone, reinstall it, and turn the phone on.
Explosion, Shock, and Fire Hazards
●
Do not put your phone in a place subject to excessive
dust and keep the minimum required distance between
the power cord and heat sources.
●
Unplug the power cord prior to cleaning your phone,
and clean the power plug pin when it’s dirty.
●
When using the power plug, ensure that it’s firmly
connected. If not, it may cause excessive heat or fire.
●
If you put your phone in a pocket or bag without
covering the receptacle of the phone (power plug pin),
metallic articles (such as a coin, paperclip or pen) may
short-circuit the phone. Always cover the receptacle
when not in use.
●
Don’t short-circuit the battery. Metallic articles such as
a coin, paperclip or pen in your pocket or bag may
short-circuit the + and – terminals of the battery
(metal strips on the battery) upon moving. Short-
circuit of the terminal may damage the battery and
cause an explosion.
●
Do not disassemble or crush the battery. It may cause
a fire.
