Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery
before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 7.0 hours of continuous digital talk time.
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon blinks. When there are
approximately two minutes of talk time left, the phone can sound an audible alert and then turn
off.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, using vibrate mode, browser use, and
other variabl
es may reduce the battery‟s talk and standby times.
Tip:
Watch your phone's battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of
power.
Install the Battery
Remove the Battery
1. Make
sure the power is turned off so that you don‟t lose any unsaved items.
2. Lift the back cover using the fingertip cutout located at the bottom of the phone and
remove it.
3. Lift the battery using the fingertip cutout and remove it from the phone.
WARNING: Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned.
Charge the Battery
Keeping track of your battery‟s charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your
phone automatically turns off and you will lose any information you were just working on.
Always use a Sprint-approved or LG-approved desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power
adapter to charge your battery.
1. Connect the charging adapter and USB cable as shown; the LG logo on the charging
adapter should face toward you.
