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:

Update & Drivers

Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to save unnecessary

power consumption of the charger.

Extend Your Battery Life

You can extend your battery's life between charges by turning off features that run in the

background. You can also monitor how applications and system resources consume battery power.

Reduce your Screen timeout setting.

Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.

Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.

Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications using this function will periodically

query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your battery.

Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging your phone. Repeating this

process of a complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce the storage capacity of any

battery.

Turn off Automatic application sync.

Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications.
