Charging the Phone
Your phone comes with an adapter and a USB Cable which connect 
together to charge your phone. To charge your phone:
 NOTICE    Please use only an approved charging accessory to charge your phone. 
Improper handling of the USB/Charger Port, as well as the use of an incompatible 
charger, may cause damage to your phone and void the warranty.
1.   Connect the USB Cable into the adapter. 
When connecting, as shown below, the LG logo on the USB Cable will 
face toward you.
2.  Plug the USB Cable (as shown below) into the phone’s USB/Charger 
Port.
USB Cable
Adapter
 NOTE Correctly orient the USB Cable with the phone's port. The 'B' side of the USB Cable 
should be facing upwards.
Charging with the USB Cable
You can use your computer to charge your 
phone. To be able to charge with the USB 
Cable, you need to have the necessary 
USB drivers installed on your PC first. 
Connect one end of the USB Cable to 
the USB/Charger Port on your phone and 
connect the other end to a USB port on 
your PC. It is best to use the rear USB port when connecting to a desktop 
PC. The USB hub should be powered by an external power source.
 NOTE  If there is not enough charge in the battery to turn on the phone, the LED lights at the 
bottom of the keypad flash to indicate that the battery is charging. Once the battery has 
enough charge to turn the phone on, the flashing stops and the battery charge animation 
appears on the touchscreen.
