two minutes of talk time left, the phone can sound an audible alert and then turn off.  
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, using vibrate mode, browser use, and other  
variable may reduce the battery’s talk and standby times.  
Tip: Watch your phone's battery level indicator and charge the battery before it runs out of power.  
Charge the Battery  
Keeping track of your battery's charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your  
phone automatically turns off and you will lose any information you were just working on.

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

Touchscreen Navigation  
Your device is a touch-sensitive phone which allows you to select an on-screen option with a single  
touch and to easily scroll through long lists. Simply slide up and down through the display with your  
fingertip.  
Your touchscreen provides an excellent way to interact with and use your Android phone. With the  
touch of your finger, you can access available applications, make menu selections, and access data  
saved to your phone. The following terms are used for describing the different available actions  
using the touchscreen:  
n
Tap: A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts and letters on the on-screen keyboard.  
n
Touch and hold: Touch and hold an item on the screen by touching it and not lifting your finger  
until an action occurs. For example, to open a contact‘s available options, touch and hold the  
contact in the Contacts list until the context menu opens.  
n
Drag: Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger, move your  
finger on the screen until you reach the target position. You can drag items on the Home screen  
to reposition them, as described in Add and Remove Widgets on the Home Screen, or drag the  
Notifications Panel open, as described in Notifications Panel.  
n
Swipe or slide: To swipe or slide, quickly move your finger across the surface of the screen,  
without pausing when you first touch it (so you don‘t drag an item instead). For example, you can  
slide the screen up or down to scroll through a list, or browse through the different Home screens  
by swiping from left to right (and vice versa).  
n
n
Double-tap: Double-tap to zoom on a Web page or a map. For example, quickly double-tap a  
section of a Web page to adjust that section to fit the width of the screen. You can also double-  
tap to zoom in and out when taking a picture (using the Camera), and when using Maps.  
Pinch-to-Zoom: Use your index finger and thumb in a pinch or spread motion to zoom in or out  
when using the Browser, Maps, or browsing pictures.

Edit a Contacts Entry  
You can change or add details saved in your contact entries, such as setting specific ringtones to  
specific contacts or setting calls from specific contacts to divert to your voicemail. Some contact  
entries contain information from multiple sources: information that you added manually, information  
joined from multiple accounts to consolidate duplicates, etc.  
If you find duplicate entries in Contacts, you can join them into a single entry. If you find that  
unrelated contacts were joined in error, you can separate them.

Accounts and Messaging  
With Sprint service and your phone’s messaging capabilities, you have the opportunity to share  
information through many different channels and accounts.  
Gmail  
This email client is Google’s Web-based email service. (See Synchronize Your Google Account.)  
From a computer, launch your preferred Web browser and navigate to www.gmail.com. Depending  
on your synchronization settings, Gmail (along with calendar events, phone numbers and other  
contact information) on your phone is automatically synchronized between your phone and your  
Gmail account on the Web.  
Create a Google Account  
You must create and/or sign into a Google Account to use Gmail™, Google Hangouts™, Google  
Calendar™, and other Google Apps. Signing into a Google Account is also necessary to download  
applications from the Google Play Store app to sync your data (if applicable) with the Google  
servers, and to take advantage of any other available Google services on your phone.  
If you don’t have a Google Account, you will be prompted to create one. If you have an enterprise  
account through your company or other organization, your IT department may have special  
instructions on how to sign into that account.  
1. From a computer, or from your phone's Browser, navigate to www.google.com.  
2. On the main page, select SIGN IN > SIGN UP.  
3. Follow the on-screen prompts to create your free account.

your phone, be sure to sign into the one you want to use with such applications first. When you sign  
in, your contacts, Gmail messages, Calendar events, and other information from these applications  
and services on the Web can be synchronized with your phone. You will be prompted to sign in or to  
create a Google Account the first time you start an application that requires one, such as Gmail or

Web and Data  
Your phone's data capabilities let you wirelessly access the Internet or your corporate network  
through a variety of connections, including Wi-Fi, Sprint 4G, Data Services (Sprint 3G Network), and  
Virtual Private Networks (VPN).  
The following topics address your phone's data connections and the built-in Web browser.  
Additional data-related features can be found in Accounts and Messaging, Apps and Entertainment,  
Connect Wi-Fi  
Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide Internet access at distances of up to 100  
meters, depending on the Wi-Fi router and your surroundings.  
To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you must connect to a wireless access point, or hotspot. Some access  
points are open and you can simply connect to them without entering any information. Others are  
hidden or implement other security features, so you must configure your phone to connect to them.  
Turn off Wi-Fi when you're not using it to extend the life of your battery.  
When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, the phone obtains a network address and other information it  
needs from the network, using the DHCP protocol. To configure the phone with a static IP address  
and other advanced settings, tap  
> Advanced Wi-Fi from the Wi-Fi settings menu.  
Turn Wi-Fi On and Connect to a Network

a Wi-Fi network when you are out of its range.  
To add a secured network, you need to contact the network’s administrator to obtain the password  
or other required security credentials.  
1. Turn on Wi-Fi, if it's not already on.  
2. From the Wi-Fi settings screen, tap Add network.

example, if you don't want the phone to connect to it automatically or if it is a network that you no  
longer use.

2. In the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch and hold the name of the network.  
3. Tap Forget network.

Data Services  
With your Sprint service, you are ready to start enjoying the advantages of data services. The  
following topics will help you learn the basics of using your data services, including managing your  
user name, launching a data connection, and navigating the Web with your phone.  
Important: Certain data services requests may require additional time to process. While your  
phone is loading the requested service, the touchscreen or on-screen keyboard may appear  
unresponsive when in fact they are functioning properly. Allow the phone some time to process your  
data usage request.  
Your User Name  
When you buy your phone and sign up for service, you’re automatically assigned a user name, which  
is typically based on your name and a number, followed by “@sprintpcs.com.” (For example, the  
third John Smith to sign up for Sprint data services might have [email protected] as his user  
name.)  
When you use data services, your user name is submitted to identify you to the Nationwide Sprint  
Network. Your user name will be automatically programmed into your phone. You don’t have to  
enter it.  
Update Your User Name  
If you choose to change your user name and select a new one online, you must then update the user  
name on your phone.

Data Connection Status and Indicators  
Your phone notifies you of the current status of your data connection through status icons in the  
Status Bar. The following symbols can be displayed:  
Your phone is connected to the high-speed 4G Sprint Mobile Broadband Network. When the signal  
bands are animated, your phone is scanning and connecting. During data transfer, the animated  
icon is not used (for example, when you are opening a Web page). When the signal bands are gray,  
your phone is connected to the network, signal is weak.  
When both the bands and the 4G icon are gray, there is no coverage and you are disconnected from  
the 4G network.  
Your phone is connected to the high-speed Sprint Mobile Broadband Network(3G/1x). When the  
arrows are animated, your phone is transferring data. When the arrows are gray, your phone is  
connected to the network but is not currently transferring data. In either state, you can receive  
incoming calls.  
If you do not see an indicator, your phone does not have a current data connection. To launch a  
connection, see Launch a Web Connection.  
Virtual Private Networks (VPN)  
From your phone, you can add, set up, and manage virtual private networks (VPNs) that allow you  
to connect and access resources inside a secured local network, such as your corporate network.  
Prepare Your Phone for VPN Connection  
Depending on the type of VPN you are using at work, you may be required to enter your login  
credentials or install security certificates before you can connect to your company’s local network.  
You can get this information from your network administrator. Before you can initiate a VPN  
connection, your phone must first establish a Wi-Fi or data connection. For information about setting  
up and using these connections on your phone, see Launch a Web Connection and Turn Wi-Fi On

Bluetooth  
Bluetooth is a short-range communications technology that allows you to connect wirelessly to a  
number of Bluetooth phones, such as headsets and hands-free car kits, Bluetooth-enabled  
handhelds, computers, printers, and wireless phones. The Bluetooth communication range is  
usually up to approximately 30 feet.  
Turn Bluetooth On and Off  
By default, your phone’s Bluetooth feature is set to Off. Turning Bluetooth on makes your phone  
“discoverable” by other in-range Bluetooth phones.

4. Tap Search for devices at the bottom of the screen to search for in-range Bluetooth-  
compatible devices. Make sure the target device is set to be discoverable.  
Pairing Bluetooth Devices  
The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to establish trusted connections between your phone and  
another Bluetooth device. When you pair devices, they share a passkey, allowing for fast, secure  
connections while bypassing the discovery and authentication process.  
Pair Your Phone  
1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.  
2. From the Bluetooth settings page, tap G2 to make your phone visible. Your phone must be  
visible to successfully pair with an external device.  
3. Tap Search for devices. (Your phone will display a list of discovered in-range Bluetooth  
devices.)  
4. Tap a device from the list to initiate pairing.  
5. Depending on the device, you might have to tap Pair to accept the passkey (if they match),  
confirm matching passkeys, or enter the passkey or PIN Code.  
6. Tap Done > OK if you entered a passkey or PIN code.  
7. The external device will then have to accept the connection and enter your phone’s PIN code.  
Note: Due to different specifications and features of other Bluetooth-compatible phones, display  
and operations may be different, and functions such as transfer or exchange may not be possible  
with all Bluetooth compatible phones.  
Pairing between two Bluetooth phones is a one-time process. Once a pairing has been created, the  
phones will continue to recognize their partnership and exchange information without having to re-  
enter a passcode again.  
Disconnect a Paired Phone  
Disconnecting a paired device breaks the connection between the device and your phone, but  
retains the pairing. At a later point when you wish to reconnect the device, there is no need to setup  
the connection information again.
