While Using the Product
❗ WARNING
- Use batteries certified and acknowledged by LG Electronics Inc. Otherwise, an explosion or fire may occur.
- Do not store in places with temperatures above 60 °C (140 °F) and high humidity (e.g., in cars or saunas). Otherwise, an explosion or fire may occur.
- Do not use the product on top of carpet, blankets, or beds. Also, do not place the adapter under a blanket. The product and the adapter may malfunction or cause a fire or burn to the user due to internal temperature increase.
- Do not leave the powered-on product in a space without enough ventilation (e.g., bags) for an extended time or repeatedly. The battery may overheat and cause a fire.
- Keep the battery away from heat. Otherwise, an explosion or fire may occur.
- If you find leakage or smell a bad odor from the battery, contact the local call center. Otherwise, an explosion or fire may occur.
- Prevent the battery from coming into contact with any metallic object like a car ignition key or a paper clip. Otherwise, this may cause damage to the battery, a fire, or a burn due to overheating.
- Charge the battery only with the provided instrument. Otherwise, the battery may be damaged, or fire may occur.
Do not bend the power cable connected to the adapter too much. Otherwise, the wires inside the cable may break and cause an electric shock or fire.
Guide on Battery Usage
- When the PC is not used for an extended period, keep the battery level at 50% to increase the battery lifespan.
- To increase battery lifespan, use the battery for a while before charging it, rather than keeping it completely charged.
- Use the Extend Battery Life function in the My gram (or LG Smart Assistant). You can limit the battery charge to 80% of the maximum charging capacity to increase the battery lifespan.
- If you do not use the product for a long time with the battery completely discharged, the battery lifespan may decrease.
Precautions before Product Use
ℹ️ NOTE:
- This product has a built-in battery pack. After purchasing your PC, be sure to charge the battery pack completely before using it for the first time.
- The battery is a wearable good, and its lifespan may decrease after prolonged use.
- The internal battery cannot be arbitrarily removed or replaced. Removing it may void the warranty.
- If you need to disassemble or replace the battery, please contact the designated Call Center. A fee will be charged for this service.
- For safe use, the charge level may be adjusted or blocked if excessive battery capacity reduction is detected. Since the battery is a consumable item, replace it if the runtime has significantly decreased.
Precautions before Product Use (General)
Any malfunction in the built-in solid-state drive (SSD) may result in loss of stored data. You must back up all critical user data to an external storage device (USB HDD, memory card, etc.).
If you shut down the system before it is completely loaded, the product may not shut down properly. Shut down the system only after it is completely loaded (this may take one to two minutes, varying by conditions).
