Locating the Power Key

The Power-On Process
Follow these steps to successfully power on your LG KS360:
- Ensure Battery is Charged: Before attempting to turn on your phone, make sure your LG KS360 has sufficient battery charge. If the battery is completely drained, the phone will not power on. Consider connecting it to a charger for a few minutes if you're unsure.
- Locate the End/Power Key: Identify the key on your phone's keypad that functions as the "End" key and also as the power button.
- Press and Hold: Gently but firmly press and hold this End/Power key for approximately 2-3 seconds. You should feel a slight vibration or see the LG logo appear on the screen, indicating that the phone is starting up.
- Release and Wait: Once the LG logo or startup animation appears, you can release the key. The phone will then proceed through its boot-up sequence.
- Enter PIN (If Required): If you have a SIM card with a PIN enabled, you will be prompted to enter your PIN to unlock the SIM and access network services.

Troubleshooting Common Power-On Issues
If your LG KS360 doesn't turn on immediately, here are a few things to check:
- Check Battery Connection: Ensure the battery is properly seated in its compartment. Sometimes a loose battery can prevent the phone from powering on.
- Charge the Phone: Connect the phone to its original charger and a power outlet. Wait a few minutes (at least 5-10) before attempting to power it on again. A completely depleted battery might need a moment to reach a state where it can initiate the boot process.
- Inspect for Damage: Look for any visible physical damage to the phone or battery that might be preventing it from functioning.
- Try a Different Charger/Battery (If Available): If possible, test with a known working charger or, if you have access to one, a different battery to rule out charger or battery faults.
