Appendix

LG Mobile Phone software update via Over-the-Air (OTA)

This feature allows you to conveniently update your phone’s software to a newer version via OTA, without connecting a USB cable. This feature will only be available if and when LG makes a newer firmware version available for your device.

To perform the phone software update, tap > Tools > Settings > System > Update center > Software Update.

NOTE:

• Your personal data from internal phone storage—including information about your Google account and any other accounts, your system/ application data and settings, any downloaded applications and your DRM license—might be lost in the process of updating your phone’s software. Therefore, LG recommends that you backup your personal data before updating your phone’s software. LG does not take responsibility for any loss of personal data.
• This feature depends on the area or service provider.

Anti-Theft Guide

You can set up your device to prevent other people from using it if it's been reset to factory settings without your permission. For example, if your device is lost, stolen, or wiped, only someone with your Google account or screen lock information can use the device.

All you need to make sure your device is protected is:

• Set a screen lock: If your device is lost or stolen but you have a screen lock set, the device can't be erased using the Settings menu unless your screen is unlocked.
• Add your Google account on your device: If your device is wiped but you have your Google account on it, the device can't finish the setup process until your Google account information is entered again.

After your device is protected, you'll need to either unlock your screen or enter your Google account password if you need to do a factory reset. This ensures that you or someone you trust is doing the reset.

NOTE: Do not forget the Google account and password you had added to your device prior to performing a factory reset. If you can't provide the account information during the setup process, you won't be able to use the device at all after performing the factory reset.
