mode.
Phone Basics 12
In Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal periodically without your intervention.
You can also initiate a search for Sprint service by pressing any key (when your phone is turned
on).
Tip: The Power Save feature conserves your battery power when you are in an area where
there is no signal.
Turn Your Phone Off
1. Press and hold the Power/Lock Button for two seconds until you see the Phone options
on the display screen.
2. Tap Power off and then tap OK to power off the phone.
Your screen remains blank while your phone is off (unless the battery is charging).

If you don‟t use the phone for a while, the screen and backlight will shut off to conserve battery
power.
1. Press the Power/Lock Button . Your lock screen will appear. See Lock screen.

Battery and Charger
Sprint-approved or LG-approved batteries and accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or
through LG, or call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They‟re also available at www.sprint.com.
Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a Li-Polymer battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before
it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 14 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 variables 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 14
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.
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.
Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to save
unnecessary power consumption of the charger.

If you find duplicate entries in Contacts, you can join them into a single entry. If you find that
unrelated contacts were joined in error, you can separate them.
Changes made to information from one source do not automatically change the information on
the other sources. For example, if you have information about a contact from a Google Account
and an Exchange account and both are configured to sync contacts, changes to the contact
Contacts 60
from the Google Account are synced to that account on the web, but the information from the

WARNING: 911 Emergency Calling Sprint recommends that TTY users make emergency
calls by other means, including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS),
analog cellular, and landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be
corrupted when received by public safety answering points (PSAPs), rendering
some communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related
to software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the attention of the
FCC, and the wireless industry and the PSAP community are currently working to
resolve this.
Proximity Sensor
You can access the LG optimus G
TM
proximity sensor through the Call Settings menu.
When receiving and making calls, this sensor automatically turns the backlight off and locks the

PC Connection
Your phone's PC connection menu lets you configure USB connection type, USB tethering, and
Ask on connection.
USB Connection Type

PC via USB. Choose from Charge only, Media sync (MTP), or Camera (PTP).
Media Sync (MTP)

phone to the PC and vice versa.
To synchronize your phone with your computer using the USB

3. If the driver is not installed, the MTP driver will be installed automatically and your PC
will be rebooted. After rebooting, it is possible to transfer any files between the phone
and the PC.
Note: For Windows® XP, the MTP driver is not installed by default. So Autorun will install the
MTP driver automatically after checking existence of the driver. If Windows Media
Player(WMP) over version 10.x is installed on the PC, the MTP driver may be installed.
