This product has a built-in battery pack.

The internal battery should not be arbitrarily disassembled or replaced. Arbitrarily disassembling the product may void the warranty.

If you need to disassemble or replace the battery, please visit the designated LG Electronics Service Center.

We charge a fee for removing or replacing the battery.

Using an AC Adapter

CAUTION: Do not leave a liquid container on the PC.

The system may be short-circuited and damaged.

WARNING

Please use an AC adapter certified by LG Electronics Inc.

Uncertified batteries may explode.
It may cause a problem in battery charging or system operation.

When you use an AC adapter, follow the below directions.

140 °F or more high-humidity spaces, for example, inside cars or saunas, should be avoided when you use or store it.
Do not disassemble or modify the AC adapter.
Do not twist the AC adapter plug.
When you connect the AC adapter, do not forcefully push the plug.

Checking the Battery State

Connect the AC adapter to the USB-C™ port on the PC.
Open the LCD and check the charging state.
When the AC adapter lamp is blinking, charge it fully with the AC adapter before using it.

CAUTION: Use batteries certified and acknowledged by LG Electronics Inc.

Uncertified batteries may explode.

WARNING:

The battery may explode due to excessive heat, causing fire. For a safe and efficient use of battery, follow the below directions.

Do not short-circuit the battery.
Keep the battery out of reach of children.
A visible swelling of the battery pack indicates a possible danger. When this occurs, contact your local vendor or service center immediately.
Use only a certified and designated recharger.
Keep the battery pack away from heat. (Never put it in a microwave.)
Do not leave inside a car under the summer heat.
Do not leave or use at a hot and humid place like a sauna.
Do not use the machine placed on a heating blanket or other heat reserving materials.

Do not discard the battery arbitrarily as you are requested to follow the local procedure for discarding the battery.
Before using this machine, read this guide carefully.

TIP:

When the PC is not to be used for a long period of time, refer to the following:

Check the battery charge level on a regular basis and keep it at 50 %.This allows you to extend the battery life.
If the battery is left fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery capacity and battery running time may be reduced.
If the battery is left fully discharged for an extended period of time, it may become overdischarged and cannot be charged again.

For more efficient use of the battery, read the following carefully.

The battery runs low naturally even if it is kept unused.
To increase battery lifespan, use the battery for a while before charging it rather than keeping the battery completely charged.
If you don't use the product for a long time with the battery completely discharged, the battery lifespan may decrease.

The battery capacity may change due to chemical reactions during charge and discharge.

LG Notebook frequently checks the charge level of its battery based on usage conditions, and then calculates and correctly indicates the actual remaining level of the battery.
The battery is wearable goods and thus the life span may become shorter with use.The battery running time may also become shorter accordingly.
When the battery is fully charged, the machine stops recharging. It resumes recharging when the battery charge rate drops below 95 %.This feature secures the safe and efficient use of the battery.
When the temperature of the battery drops below 50 °F, it is charged in a low current to protect the battery cells. In this case, charging time may stretch to up to 32 hours.

If you use the system at a low temperature, refer to the following:

The battery capacity may be reduced depending on the chemical characteristics of the battery and the system may not be turned on after it freezes or it is turned off.
If the system freezes or if it is not turned on, connect the AC adapter to the system and charge the battery fully before use.
If there is any error in the indication of the battery capacity, charge and discharge the battery two or three times at room temperature to return to the normal operation.
