Charging the Battery
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your battery level becomes too low, your device
automatically turns off, and you will lose any information you were just working on.
Always use a LG-approved desktop charger, travel charger, or vehicle power adapter to charge your
battery.

face toward you.

Device Basics
2. Plug one end of the USB cable into the device's Charger/Accessory Port and the other end into an
electrical outlet. The charge time varies depending upon the battery level.
With the LG-approved Li-Ion battery, you can recharge the battery before it becomes completely rundown.
Battery Temperature Protection
Though extremely rare, if the battery becomes overheated, the phone will automatically turn off.
Charging with USB
You can use your computer to charge your device. 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 device 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 (see Note below).
Note
Low-power USB ports are not supported, such as the USB port on your keyboard or bus-powered USB hub.
LG USB Driver is downloadable from the following site: http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/index.jsp > Click
Mobile Support > Select the Carrier(TracFone) > Select the Model VM701 > Click USB Cable Driver to download.
Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to save unnecessary power consumption
of the charger.

Gmail
This email client is Google’s web-based email service. (See Synchronizing Your Google Account on page
120).
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 device is automatically synchronized between your device and your Gmail account
on the Web.
Note
You must have a valid and active Google account prior to using this email client.

G
Gmail is web-based: Your messages are stored online, on Google servers, but you can read, write,
and organize messages by using the Gmail application on your device or a web browser on a
computer. Because your mail is stored on Google servers, you can search your entire message history,
backed by the speed and power of Google search. Any actions taken in the Gmail phone application
are reflected on the web browser. For example, if you read a message in Gmail on your device, it will
be marked as read in a Web browser. And a message that you send using a browser, or even a draft of
a message, is visible in Gmail on the device.
G
G
Gmail is conversation-based: Every related message is grouped in your Inbox as a single conversation
tread. In other email applications, replies to messages are sent as individual messages, making it
difficult to keep track of related messages. Gmail makes it easy to follow conversations with its
conversation threads.
Gmail is organized by labels, not by folders: By tagging messages with labels, you can organize your
conversations in many different ways. Whereas in other email applications, each message can only be
stored in one folder. For example, with Gmail you can label a conversation with your mother about
your brother’s birthday present with both “Mom” and “Dave.” Later, you can look for the all messages
containing either label. Using folders, you'd have to store the message in the “Mom” folder or the
“Dave” folder, not both.
G
Gmail for the phone is optimized for mobile: Some features are only accessible on your computer
browser. The best place to organize and learn about Gmail is the Web. For example, you can't use the
Gmail application on the device to create the labels and filters that you use to organize your
messages, but you can label a message. Gmail on the Web offers complete information about the
service, so it’s the best place to learn about all of the features of Gmail.

Web and Data
Your device's data capabilities let you wirelessly access the Internet or your corporate network through
a variety of connections, including:
Connecting to Wi-Fi Networks
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 device, 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 device 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 device obtains a network address and other information it
needs from the network, using the DHCP protocol. To configure the device with a static IP address and
other advanced settings, press

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.

Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range communications technology that allows you to connect wirelessly to a number
of Bluetooth devices, 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.

and connect to other in-range Bluetooth devices.
Note

battery, turn off Bluetooth when not in use. Always turn off your Bluetooth when you are in locations that prohibit its
use.

connections while bypassing the discovery and authentication process.

Note
Due to different specifications and features of other Bluetooth-compatible devices, display and operations may be different,
and functions such as transfer or exchange may not be possible with all Bluetooth compatible devices.
Pairing between two Bluetooth devices is a one-time process. Once a pairing has been created, the devices will continue
to recognize their partnership and exchange information without having to re-enter a passcode again.
To disconnect a paired device:
Disconnecting a paired device breaks the connection between the device and your LG VM701, 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.

synchronize with your desktop or laptop computer. Once you have connected the device to the
computer, you can transfer your data to or from the microSD card.
To connect your device to a computer via USB:
1. Use the USB cable that came with your phone to connect the phone to a USB port on your
computer.
2. When the USB connected screen is displayed, tap Mass storage
>
Done
>
OK to confirm that you
want to transfer files.

When the device is connected as USB storage, you receive a notification on your computer.

You device's microSD card is mounted as a removable drive on your computer. You can now copy
files to and from the microSD card. For more information, see the documentation for your
computer.
G
During this time, you will not be able to access the microSD card in your device, so you can't use
applications that rely on the microSD card, such as Camera, Gallery, and Music.
To remove the connection:
WARNING: Carefully follow your computer's instructions to unmount, remove, or disconnect any removable
USB devices or disks, to avoid losing information on the microSD card when disconnecting your phone from
your computer.
1. On your computer, complete the process to safely Stop, or Remove, the USB device (in this case, the
phone). For example, use the Safely Remove Hardware option to Stop the USB Mass Storage Device
®
on Windows XP.

DO NOT turn off or restart your computer or put it into standby mode while using a mass storage
device. Doing so will result in loss or damage of data.
The microSD card can only be mounted for use by either the device or a connected computer. Prior
to accessing the card via a different method, it must first be unmounted from its current device
(phone or computer USB).

your computer (via its USB connection); not both. You cannot browse the contents of the card via your device
if they are currently being browsed via your computer.
