around your phone.

Touch and hold – To open an options menu 
or grab an object you want to move, touch 
and hold it.

Lock your phone
When you are not using the LG-E400, press 
the power key to lock your phone. This helps 
prevent accidental presses and saves battery 
power. 
Also, if you do not use the phone for a while, 
the Home screen or another screen you are 
viewing is replaced with the lock screen to 
conserve battery power.
If there are any programs running when you 
set the pattern, they may be still running 
in Lock mode. It is recommended that 
you exit all programs before entering the Lock mode to avoid unnecessary charges 
(e.g. phone calls, Web access and data 
communications).
Setting an unlock pattern: you can draw 
your own unlock pattern by connecting the 
dots.
If you set a pattern, the phone screen locks. 
To unlock the phone, draw the pattern that 
you set on the screen.
Caution: When you set an unlock pattern, 
you need to create your Gmail account fi rst.

drawing errors in a row, you cannot unlock
