Use Guide for Corning® Gorilla® Glass-applied Product

For products like the LG Gram Style featuring impact-resistant Corning® Gorilla® Glass, the glass may break or scratch in case of excessive shock. Please be careful when using the product.

If fingerprints come in contact with the glass surface, moisten a microfiber cloth with clean lukewarm water and wipe the surface. After that, remove any remaining water.

⚠️ CAUTION: If the glass on the product is broken or damaged, stop its use. Since your hand or face may get injured, make sure to contact the call centre to receive repair guidance.

While Using the Product

⚠️ WARNING

  Otherwise, an explosion or fire may occur.
• Do not use the product on top of carpet, blanket, or bed. Also, do not put the adaptor under the blanket.
  The product and the adaptor 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 bad odour from the battery, contact the local call centre.
  Otherwise, an explosion or fire may occur.
• Prevent the battery from coming in 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 burn due to overheating in the battery.
• 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 Adaptor 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 of time, keep the battery level at 50% to increase the battery lifespan.
  (e.g., 50% ?)
• To increase battery lifespan, use the battery for a while before charging it rather than keeping the battery completely charged.
  ? (Good!)
• 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 don't use the product for a long time with the battery completely discharged, the battery lifespan may decrease.

Precautions before Product Use

? 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 thus the battery may not last as long as before after the battery has been used for a long time.
• The internal battery cannot arbitrarily be removed or replaced. Removing it may void the warranty.
• If you need to disassemble or replace the battery, please contact the designated Call Centre.
• A fee is charged for removing or replacing the battery.
• For the safe use of the product, the charge level may be adjusted or blocked from the product when excessive reduction in battery capacity is detected. Since the battery is a consumable item, if the runtime has been significantly reduced, please replace the battery.

General Precautions

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 the system down before it is completely loaded, the product may not shut down properly. Shut down the system after it is completely loaded. (It takes about one or two minutes to completely load the system and may vary depending on the conditions.)
