Using an AC Adapter and a Battery

The AC adapter is used to power and charge the product.

Tip:

The power cable and AC adaptor may look different depending on the model and your country. But there is no difference in their functionality.

The battery pack is integrated in this product.

The internal battery should not be arbitrarily disassembled or replaced. Arbitrarily disassembling the product may void the warranty.

If you need to disassemble or replace the battery, please visit the designated LG Electronics service center.

We charge a fee for disassembling or replacing the battery.

Using an AC Adapter

An AC adapter of 100 V - 240 V can be used.

  1. Connect the AC adaptor to a power outlet.

  2. Connect the adapter to the machine.

  3. Adjust the LCD to the most comfortable angle.

  4. Press the power button to turn on the machine.

Tip:
  • You need a different plug to use the AC adapter with 110 V(the plug for 110V is sold separately).

Caution:

Do not leave a liquid container on the PC.

  • The system may be short-circuited and damaged.

Warning:

Please use an AC adapter certified by LG Electronics™.

  • Uncertified batteries may explode.

  • It may cause a problem in battery charging or system operation.

When you use an AC adaptor, follow the below directions.

  • 60 °C or more high-humidity spaces, for example, inside cars or saunas, should be avoided when you use or store it.

  • Do not disassemble or modify the AC adaptor.

  • Do not twist the AC adaptor plug.

  • When you connect the AC adaptor, do not forcefully push the plug.

Checking the Battery State

  1. Connect the AC adapter to the power port in the PC.

  2. Open the LCD and check the charging state.

    When the AC adapter lamp is blinking, charge it fully with the AC adapter before using it.

Caution:

Use batteries certified and acknowledged by LG Electronics Inc™.

  • Uncertified batteries may explode.

Warning:

The battery may explode due to excessive heat, causing fire. For a safe and efficient use of battery, follow the below directions.

  • Do not short-circuit the battery.

  • Keep the battery out of reach of children.

  • A visible swelling of the battery pack indicates a possible danger. When this occurs, contact your local vendor or service center immediately.

  • Use only a certified and designated recharger.

  • Keep the battery pack away from heat. (Never put it in a microwave.)

  • Do not leave inside a car under the summer heat.

  • Do not leave or use at a hot and humid place like a sauna.

  • Do not use the machine placed on a heating blanket or other heat reserving materials.

  • Do not leave the machine turned on inside a closed space.

  • Make sure that the power ports are not touched by any metallic objects like a key, coin, necklace, and watch.

  • Use only a lithium secondary battery certified and guaranteed by mobile device manufactures.

  • Do not disassemble or modify the battery. Do not compress or pierce the battery.

  • Do not apply shock to the battery. For example, do not drop the battery from a high place.

  • Keep the room temperature between 32 °F and 122 °F. Do not expose the PC to heat hotter than 140 °F.

  • Keep the machine dry.

  • Do not discard the battery arbitrarily as you are requested to follow the local procedure for discarding the battery.

  • Before using this machine, read this guide carefully.

Tip:

For more efficient use of the battery, read the following carefully.

  • Natural discharge: The battery runs low naturally even if it is kept unused.

  • Periodical full (dis)charge: Repeated recharge in midway shortens the running time gradually. To lengthen the span, charge and discharge the battery to the fullest once or twice. For optimal use, execute the full charge/discharge every 30 to 60 days. Still better, recharge the battery after it has run out.

The battery capacity may change due to chemical reactions during charge and discharge.

  • The system checks the charge status of LG batteries frequently, and then calculates and indicates the actual battery duration on the current system setup.

  • The battery is wearable goods and thus the life span may be getting shorter as used. The battery running time may also become shorter accordingly.

  • When the battery is fully charged, the machine stops recharging. It resumes recharging when the battery charge rate drops below 95 %. This feature secures the safe and efficient use of the battery.

  • When the temperature of the battery drops below 50 °F, it is charged in a low current to protect the battery cells. In this case, charging time may stretch to 32 hours or longer.

If you use the system at a low temperature, refer to the following:

  • The battery capacity may be reduced depending on the chemical characteristics of the battery and the system may not be turned on after it freezes or it is turned off.

  • If the system freezes or if it is not turned on, connect the AC battery to the system and charge the battery fully before use.

  • If there is any error in the indication of the battery capacity, charge and discharge the battery two or three times at the room temperature to return to the normal operation.
