Battery Information and Care
G Please dispose of your battery properly or take it to your
local wireless carrier for recycling.
G The battery does not need to be fully discharged before
recharging.
G Use only LG-approved chargers specific to your phone
model since they are designed to maximize battery life.
G Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
G Keep the battery’s metal contacts clean.
G Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable
performance. The battery can be recharged several hundred
times before replacement.
G Recharge the battery after long periods of non-use to
maximize battery life.
G Battery life will vary due to usage patterns and
environmental conditions.
G 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
G 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.
G Unplug the power cord prior to cleaning your phone, and
clean the power plug pin when it is dirty.
G When using the power plug, ensure that it is firmly
connected. If it is not, it may cause excessive heat or fire.
G 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.
G Do not 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.
G Do not disassemble or crush the battery. It may cause a fire.
