Important Safety Precautions

To prevent unexpected danger or damage, observe the following safety rules:

• Battery Safety: Keep the battery away from heat sources. Do not store the device in temperatures above 60°C or in high-humidity environments like saunas or cars.
• Usage Environment: Do not operate the laptop on soft surfaces like carpets, blankets, or beds, as this can cause overheating. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Battery Usage and Maintenance

Proper battery care extends the lifespan of your device:

• Initial Use: Charge the battery pack completely before using the laptop for the first time.
• Long-term Storage: If the PC will not be used for an extended period, keep the battery level at approximately 50%.
• Extend Battery Life: Use the 'Extend Battery Life' function in the 'My gram' or 'LG Smart Assistant' software to limit the maximum charge to 80%.
• Charging: Avoid keeping the battery completely charged at all times; use the battery for a while before recharging.

Getting Started

Checking Components: Ensure your package includes the PC main body, adaptor, and power cable. Note that some models may include additional components like LAN or HDMI adaptors.

Connecting and Turning On: Connect the provided adaptor to the compatible charging port (USB-C or dedicated power port) on the PC. Press the power button to turn on the system.

System Shutdown: Always shut down the system properly using the Start menu (Start button > Power button > Shut down). Do not force a shutdown while the system is loading.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, check the following before contacting support:

• Power Issues: If the PC does not turn on, ensure the power cord is connected. If it still fails, disconnect the power, and hold the power button for at least 6 seconds to reset the system.
• Wireless Network: If Wi-Fi is not connecting, check if Airplane Mode is enabled and set it to 'Off'. You may need to reinstall the wireless network driver.
• System Freezes: If the system stops during use, perform a hard reset by holding the power button for 6 seconds. Note that unsaved data may be lost.
• Screen Brightness: On AMD models, the 'Vari-Bright' function may adjust screen brightness to save battery. You can disable or configure this in the AMD Software settings.
