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 time

are greatly affected by the signal strength on the

cellular network and the parameters set by the

network operator.

• Battery charging time depends 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.

• Extreme temperatures will affect the charging

capacity of your battery: it may require cooling or

warming first.

•Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places,

such as in a car in summer or winter conditions,

as you will reduce the capacity and life-time of

the battery. Always try to keep the battery at

room temperature. A phone with a hot or cold

battery may temporarily not work, even when the

battery is fully charged. Li-ion batteries are

particularly affected by temperatures below 0 °C

(32 °F).

•Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short

circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin,

clip or pen) causes a direct connection between

the + and – terminals of the battery (metal strips

on the battery), for example when you carry a

spare battery in a pocket or bag. Short-circuiting

the terminals may damage the battery or the

object causing the short-circuit.

•Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local

regulations. Always recycle. Do not dispose of

batteries in a fire.
