particles (such as grain, dust, or metal 
powders); and any other area where 
you would normally be advised to 
turn off your vehicle engine.

For Vehicles Equipped with 
an Air Bag

An air bag inflates with great force. 
DO NOT place objects, including 
either installed or portable wireless 
equipment, in the area over the air 
bag or in the air bag deployment area. 
If in-vehicle wireless equipment is 
improperly installed and the air bag 
inflates, serious injury could result.

Charger and Adapter Safety

The charger and adapter are intended 
for indoor use only.

Battery Information and Care

Please dispose of your battery 
properly or take it to your local 
wireless carrier for recycling.

The battery does not need to be fully 
discharged before recharging.

Use only LG-approved chargers 
specific to your phone model since 
they are designed to maximize 
battery life.

Do not disassemble or impact the 
battery as it may cause electric shock, 
short-circuit, and fire. Store the battery 
in a place out of reach of children.

Keep the battery’s metal contacts 
clean.

Replace the battery when it no longer 
provides acceptable performance. 
The battery can be recharged several 
hundred times before replacement.

Recharge the battery after long 
periods of non-use to maximize 
battery life.

Battery life will vary due to usage 
patterns and environmental 
conditions.

Use of extended backlighting, MEdia 
Net Browsing, and data connectivity 
kits affect battery life and talk/standby 
times.

The self-protection function of the 
battery cuts the power of the phone 
when its operation is in an abnormal 
state. In this case, remove the battery 
from the phone, reinstall it, and turn 
the phone on.

Actual battery life will depend on 
network configuration, product 
settings, usage patterns, battery and 
environmental conditions.

Explosion, Shock, and Fire 
Hazards

Do not put your phone in a place 
subject to excessive dust and keep the 
minimum required distance between 
the power cord and heat sources.
