Charging the Phone

Your phone comes with a USB Cable and an adapter which connect together to charge your phone. Correctly orient the USB/Charger plug before inserting it to avoid damaging your phone.

NOTE Please only use an approved charging accessory to charge your LG 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.Correctly orient the USB Cable with the adapter, and connect them. As shown below, both the USB logo on the USB Cable and the LG logo on the adapter will face toward you.

3.Plug the adapter into an electrical outlet to begin charging.

	NOTE
	Make sure to correctly orient the cable with
	the port before plugging it in. When the
USB Cable	phone is facing upward, the USB logo on the
USB Cable	cable will also face upward.

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 (as shown above) 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 You may experience a slower charging rate when charging from your computer.
