About the battery

•Battery properties

A lithium-ion battery is small-sized and has a high capacity. Low ambient temperature (below 10ºC (50ºF)) may shorten its usage time and affect its function.

•Be careful not to completely discharge the battery.

-When fully discharged, a battery damages its internal cells. The battery may be prone to leakage when fully discharged.

-If the battery is not used for a long time, fully charge the battery and then, using your product, drain the charge completely once every 3 months to keep the battery functioning properly.

-A battery which is completely discharged may not turn on the recharging LED during charging. This is deliberate and is designed to protect the battery. If you start charging and the charge indicator does not light within 5 minutes, contact your local Samsung dealer.

•The battery lifetime is limited.

-Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If decreased usage time between charges becomes significant, it is probably time to replace the battery with a new one. Contact your local Samsung dealer.

-Each battery’s life is affected by storage, operating, and environmental conditions.

The rechargeable battery is built in the product and the battery must be replaced with Samsung Service Centre.

•Unauthorised battery replacement and use may cause the product to wet, overheat, fire, or explode.

•SAMSUNG is not responsible for any damage caused by the use of an unauthorised battery.
