40 Using the system
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, and it resumes
recharging when the battery charge rate drops below 95 %.
■ When the temperature of the battery drops below 9.6, it is charged in a low current.
In this case, charging time may stretched to 32 hours or longer.

▶ Removing memory card
Push the card as depicted in the following picture to make the card spring out of the slot. Pull the
card out in the direction of the arrow.
■ When the memory card is formatted, the data stored in the memory card will be
deleted. Check whether there are important data before formatting the memory stick.
■ To format a memory card, right-click the memory card drive and select Format.
When Format window appears, click Start to continue.
■ The format feature may not be available on those Windows whose version is lower
than Windows Vista. Format the card on other digital devices or format it after
installing Memory Stick Formatter.
■ If the writing prevention tab of Memory Stick is locked, the user cannot format the
memory stick nor write or delete the data.
■SD, MMC memory cards can be used only as storage devices and do not support
the copyright protection function.
When using an MMC card:
■Place the
MMC
card with the arrow facing upward ( ), and insert it into the slot. Forcing
the
MMC
card into the slot may cause an impairment.
■ Some memory products manufactured by
Transcend
are made of metal and may cause
a short circuit when contacting with the connection port in the multi-card slot. Avoid using
metallic-surfaced memory products. They could offset the system performance.
When using a memory card through dedicated adapter:
■ Use the dedicated adapter. Otherwise a short-circuit may occur, causing damage to the
computer and the memory card.

11-2. Expanding Memory Capacity
You may need to expand the notebook memory for better performance.
※ For memory expansion, we recommend that you receive a paid service from a service center certified by LG
Electronics. LG Electronics disclaims any responsibility for damage resulting from uncertified service or
arbitrary disassembly.
▶ About Memory
This system uses a 204-pin,
SO-DIMM
(
Small Outline Dual In-Line Memory Module
)-type
DDR3
SDRAM
.
※ For T280 Series models that are installed with 1 GB(1024 MB) memory, you can replace 1 GB memory with 2
GB(2048 MB) one.
※ T280 Series provides 1 memory slot, and we recommend 2 GB(2048 MB) memory for memory upgrade.
▶ Preparing Memory
Before purchasing memory, study the specifications and features of the current memory.
1. Rated Capacity:
PC3-8500S(1066 Mhz)/10600S(1333 Mhz) DDR3 SDRAM SO-DIMM
■ When expanding the memory, add a memory with the same specification (DDR3
SDRAM for 1.5 V). (Subject to change depending on model type)
■The DDR3 memory provides greatly improved transmission rate than existing
memories, and is differently shaped.
To upgrade the machine, turn off the system and disconnect the power cord and the battery.
■ Disconnect the telephone line linked to the modem, if any. An electric shock or fire may
occur.
Supported Memory
■
PC3-8500S(1066 Mhz)/PC3-10600S(1333 Mhz) DDR3 SDRAM SO-DIMM
※ When you expand your memory capacity, make sure to use the memory from the
same company.
※ The model that has
DDR3
operates at 800 Mhz or 1066 Mhz. The speed depends
on the notebook PC model.

5. After inserting the memory, fasten the cover with the screws.
6. If an error message related to the main memory capacity is displayed during booting after the
memory is expanded, press
F2
key and save the settings.
■ Before remove the PC cover, turn off the AC power, and remove the battery and all
peripherals. Then, disconnect the cable.
■ Push till the memory is completely fixed in the lock.
■ Check the memory capacity during the second booting. If the memory capacity is
not correct, install the main memory again.
■ Use only the expandable main memory module manufactured by LG. Using a main
memory module other than recommended products may cause malfunctioning of the
notebook PC.
