Battery and Charger
Boost-approved or LG-approved batteries and accessories can be found at Boost Stores or
through LG, or call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They‘re also available at boostmobile.com.
Non-Removable Battery
Your phone has an internal, rechargeable battery that should be replaced only by LG or an
authorized LG repair center. You should never try to open or take apart this phone yourself.
Opening the phone can cause damage that will void your warranty.
Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Li-pol(embedded) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery
before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 17.7 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
variable 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.
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.
1. Connect the charging adapter and USB cable as shown; the LG logo on the charging
adapter should face toward you.
Phone Basics 16
2. Plug one end of the USB cable into the phone's Charger/Accessory Port and the other
end into an electrical outlet. The charge time varies depending upon the battery level.
Battery Temperature Protection
Though extremely rare, if the battery becomes overheated, the phone will automatically turn off.
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.
Note: The LG USB Driver is downloadable from the following site: http://www.lg.com/us/ >
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.
Tip: Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to save
unnecessary power consumption of the charger.

power.
● Reduce the amount of time your backlight is on.
● Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.

● Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications using this function will
periodically query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your
battery.
Phone Basics 17
● Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging your phone.
Repeating this process of a complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce the
storage capacity of any battery.

Touchscreen Navigation
Your device is a touch-sensitive phone which allows you to select an on-screen option with a
single touch and to easily scroll through long lists. Simply slide up and down through the display
with your fingertip.
Your touchscreen provides an excellent way to interact with and use your Android phone. With
the touch of your finger, you can access available applications, make menu selections, and

available actions using the touchscreen:
● Tap: A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts and letters on the on-screen
keyboard.

your finger until an action occurs. For example, to open a contact‗s available options,
touch and hold the contact in the Contacts list until the context menu opens.
● Drag: Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger, move
your finger on the screen until you reach the target position. You can drag items on the
Home screen to reposition them, as described in Add and Remove Widgets on the
Home Screen, or drag the Notifications Panel open, as described in Notifications Panel.
● Swipe or slide: To swipe or slide, quickly move your finger across the surface of the
screen, without pausing when you first touch it (so you don‗t drag an item instead). For
example, you can slide the screen up or down to scroll through a list, or browse through
the different Home screens by swiping from left to right (and vice versa).

Google servers, and to take advantage of any other available Google services on your phone.
If you don‘t have a Google Account, you will be prompted to create one. If you have an

Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range communications technology that allows you to connect wirelessly to a
number of Bluetooth phones, such as headsets and hands-free car kits, Bluetooth-enabled
handhelds, computers, printers, and wireless phones. The Bluetooth communication range is
usually up to approximately 30 feet.
Turn Bluetooth On and Off
By default, your phone‘s Bluetooth feature is set to Off. Turning Bluetooth on makes your phone
―discoverable‖ by other in-range Bluetooth phones.
Note: Activating Bluetooth can drain your battery faster and reduce your available usage times.
To conserve your phone‘s battery, turn off Bluetooth when not in use. Always turn off your
Bluetooth when you are in locations that prohibit its use.
Turn Bluetooth On
1. Tap > > System settings > Bluetooth.
2. Tap to activate the feature. When active, appears within the Status Bar.
Turn Bluetooth Off
1. Tap > > System settings > Bluetooth.
2. Tap to deactivate Bluetooth.
Bluetooth Status Indicators

and make your phone invisible.
Note: By default, the visibility option is set to 2 minutes. This value appears as a countdown
within this field. You can change the visibility timeout. From the Bluetooth settings screen, tap
> Visibility timeout, then tap your preference.
4. Tap Search for devices at the bottom of the screen to search for in-range Bluetooth-
compatible devices. Make sure the target device is set to be discoverable.
Pairing Bluetooth Devices
The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish trusted connections between your phone
and another Bluetooth device. When you pair devices, they share a passkey, allowing for fast,
secure connections while bypassing the discovery and authentication process.
Pair Your Phone
1. Verify your Bluetooth is active. (See Turn Bluetooth On and Off.)
2. From the Bluetooth settings page, tap the check box next to your device name to make
your phone visible. Your phone must be visible to successfully pair with an external
device. If you want to search a new device, you also need to make that device
visible.(See the instruction manual from the manufacturer.)
3. Tap Search for devices. (Your phone will display a list of discovered in-range Bluetooth
devices.)
4. Tap a device from the list to initiate pairing.
5. Depending on the device, you might have to tap Pair to accept the passkey (if they
match), confirm matching passkeys, or enter the passkey or PIN Code.
6. Tap Done > OK if you entered a passkey or PIN code.
7. The external device will then have to accept the connection and enter your phone‘s PIN
code.
Tools and Calendar 140
Note: Due to different specifications and features of other Bluetooth-compatible phones, display
and operations may be different, and functions such as transfer or exchange may not be
possible with all Bluetooth compatible phones.
Note: Pairing between two Bluetooth phones is a one-time process. Once a pairing has been
created, the phones will continue to recognize their partnership and exchange information
without having to re-enter a passcode again.
Disconnect a Paired Phone
Disconnecting a paired device breaks the connection between the device and your phone, but
retains the pairing. At a later point when you wish to reconnect the device, there is no need to
setup the connection information again.
1. Verify your Bluetooth is active. (See Turn Bluetooth On and Off.)
2. From the Bluetooth settings page, tap next to the previously paired device (under the
PAIRED DEVICE section).
3. Tap Unpair.
Note: Disconnections are manually done but often occur automatically if the paired device goes
out of range of your phone or if it is powered off.
Send Items via Bluetooth
Depending on your paired phone's settings and capabilities, you may be able to send pictures,
videos, Contacts information, or other items using a Bluetooth connection.
