battery down until the latch clicks.

Removing the Battery

Turn the power off. Pull the release latch up, hold both

ends of the battery and remove it.

Charging the Battery

To use the charger provided with your phone :

Warning! Use only the charger provided with the

1. Plug the end of the AC adapter into the phone’s

charger jack and the other end into an electrical

outlet.

2. The charge time varies depending upon the battery

level. The maximum charge time for a fully

discharged standard battery is 5 hours.

10 RD9800

Using the Battery and Charger

RD9800_Eng_OM-final.qxd 1/24/07 4:34 PM Page 10

Battery Charge Level

The battery charge level is shown at the top right of

charge level becomes exceedingly low, the phone will

automatically switch off and any function in progress

will not be saved.

* The colours which are displayed at various stages

of charging are different.

Caring for the Battery

1) If you use the unauthorized battery, it may cause

the damage to or explosion of the battery.

Therefore, please prohibit using the unauthorized

ones.

2) You do not need to wait until the battery completely

runs down to recharge the battery.

3) Use only LG batteries and chargers specific to your

model of phone. LG’s chargers are designed to

maximize battery life.

4) Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.

5) Keep the battery’s metal contacts clean.

6) Replace the battery when it no longer provides
