Sprint Nextel LG OPTIMUS F3 manual Extend Your Battery Life, Battery Temperature Protection

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.

With the Sprint-approved Li-Ion battery, you can recharge the battery before it becomes completely drained.

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.

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.

nReduce your Backlight On time. (See Screen Timeout.)

nTurn Bluetooth off when not in use. (See Turn Bluetooth On and Off.)

nTurn Wi-Fi off when not in use. (See Turn Wi-Fi On and Connect to a Network.)

nDeactivate 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. (See GPS satellites.)

nDo 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.

nTurn off Automatic application sync. (See Synchronize Accounts.)
