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.
WARNING: Use only Sprint-approved or LG-approved batteries and chargers with your
device. The failure to use a Sprint-approved or LG-approved battery and charger
may increase the risk that your phone will overheat, catch fire, or explode,
resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or property.
Battery Capacity
Your device is equipped with a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. It allows you to recharge your battery
before it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 5.5 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 device 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 device's battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of
power.
Installing the Battery
► See Setting Up Your Device.
Removing the Battery
1. Make sure the power is turned off so that you don‘t lose any unsaved items.
2. Lift the back cover using the fingertip cutout located at the bottom of the cover and
remove it.
3. Lift the battery using the fingertip cutout and remove it from the device.
WARNING: Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can be burned.
Device Basics 16
Charging the Battery
Keeping track of your battery‘s charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your
device automatically turns off, and you will lose any information you were just working on.
Always use a Sprint-approved or LG-approved desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power
adapter to charge your battery.
1. Connect the cableless wall adapter and USB cable as shown; the LG logo on the USB
cable should face toward you.
2. Plug one end of the USB cable into the device's Charger/Accessory Port and the other
end into an electrical outlet. The charge time varies depending upon the battery level.
With the Sprint-approved Li-Ion battery, you can recharge the battery before it becomes
completely rundown.
Battery Temperature Protection
Though extremely rare, if the battery becomes overheated, the phone will automatically turn off.
Charging with USB
You can use your computer to charge your device. 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 device 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 (see NOTE below).
Note: Low-power USB ports are not supported, such as the USB port on your keyboard or bus-
powered USB hub.
LG USB Driver is downloadable from the following site: http://www.lg.com/us/ > Click
Support > Mobile Phone Support > Select the Carrier(Sprint) > Select the Model LG
Marquee™ > Click USB Cable Driver to download.
Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to save
unnecessary power consumption of the charger.

contact entries contain information from multiple sources: information that you added manually,
information joined from multiple accounts to consolidate duplicates, etc.
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

Accounts and Messaging
With Sprint service and your device‘s messaging capabilities, you have the opportunity to share
information through many different channels and accounts.
Email
Your device's Email application lets you access and manage multiple email accounts
simultaneously in one convenient location.
Although there is a separate Gmail application, the main email application can manage both
Internet based email services (Gmail™ and Yahoo!™) and Corporate Work Email (Outlook®).
The device can also be manually configured to connect to other email systems.
Note: If you have multiple email accounts, you must configure each account with its own
settings.
If you want to send and receive email messages through an ISP (Internet Service Provider)
account (such as Outlook), you will first need to set up an IMAP or POP account.
Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) – This mail retrieval protocol is frequently
used in large networks and commercial and institutional settings. IMAP4 is the
current standard.
Post Office Protocol (POP) - This protocol is supported by most ISPs and is currently
more common among consumer applications. POP3 is the current standard.
Note: For more information, review your email carrier‘s support documents or contact your IT
administrator.

Contacts and directly with your company‘s Exchange server.
Important: This Outlook application does not utilize Microsoft® ActiveSync to synchronize

Gmail
This email client is Google‘s web-based email service. (See Synchronizing Your Google
Account.)
From a computer, launch your preferred Web browser and navigate to www.gmail.com.
Depending on your synchronization settings, Gmail (along with calendar events, phone numbers
and other contact information) on your device is automatically synchronized between your
device and your Gmail account on the Web.
Note: You must have a valid and active Google account prior to using this email client.
● Gmail is web-based: Your messages are stored online, on Google™ servers, but you
can read, write, and organize messages by using the Gmail application on your device
or a web browser on a computer. Because your mail is stored on Google servers, you
can search your entire message history, backed by the speed and power of Google
search. Any actions taken in the Gmail phone application are reflected on the web
browser. For example, if you read a message in Gmail on your device, it will be marked
as read in a Web browser. And a message that you send using a browser, or even a
draft of a message, is visible in Gmail on the device.
● Gmail is conversation-based: Every related message is grouped in your Inbox as a
single conversation thread. In other email applications, replies to messages are sent as
individual messages, making it difficult to keep track of related messages. Gmail makes
it easy to follow conversations with its conversation threads.
● Gmail is organized by labels, not by folders: By tagging messages with labels, you
can organize your conversations in many different ways. Whereas in other email
applications, each message can only be stored in one folder. For example, with Gmail
you can label a conversation with your mother about your brother‘s birthday present with
both ―Mom‖ and ―Dave.‖ Later, you can look for the all messages containing either label.
Using folders, you'd have to store the message in the ―Mom‖ folder or the ―Dave‖ folder,
not both.
● Gmail for the phone is optimized for mobile: Some features are only accessible on
your computer browser. The best place to organize and learn about Gmail is the Web.
For example, you can't use the Gmail application on the device to create the labels and
Accounts and Messaging 99
filters that you use to organize your messages, but you can label a message. Gmail on
the Web offers complete information about the service, so it‘s the best place to learn
about all of the features of Gmail.
● Gmail is for Gmail: Of course you can use Gmail to send email to any email address,
and anyone can send email to you at your Gmail address. But if you want to read
messages from another email service provider (using your AOL, Yahoo!, or other email
account), you must use the Email application. (See Email.)
Setting Up other Email accounts via the Device
The Email application only reveals all currently added Email accounts. To view additional email
accounts within the main Email screen, they must first be added.
1. Tap > > Email.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to setup an Email account.
Tap Manual setup to configure your connection settings manually (POP3 , IMAP, or
Exchange). Follow the onscreen prompts and enter the information specific to your
carrier.

can touch Undo in the green bar that appears at the top of the Inbox screen to return the
message to the Inbox. You can scroll to the bottom of a message to access buttons for replying
to or forwarding the message, as described in Replying to or Forwarding a Message.

edit the subject, and add or remove text or attachments, as described in Composing
and Sending a Message.
You can add one or more people to an ongoing conversation by replying to all and

label. (See Viewing Conversations by Label.)
Searching for Messages
With the Gmail application, it is very easy to search and find specific emails. When you search

to your device. Use the Settings application to control how and when applications synchronize
their data. (See Synchronizing Accounts.)
To select which conversations to synchronize:
