Precautions When Using Batteries

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion standard battery.

•Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way.

•Use the battery only for its intended purpose.

•If you use the phone near the network’s base station, it uses less power; talk and standby times are greatly affected by the signal strength on the cellular network and the parameters set by the network operator.

•Battery charging times depend on the remaining battery charge and the type of battery and charger used. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will gradually wear out. When the operation time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.

•If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.

•Use only Samsung-approved batteries and recharge your battery only with Samsung-approved chargers. When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for more than a week, since overcharging may shorten its life.
