• 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
back of 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.
Road Safety
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to
communicate by voice - almost anywhere, anytime.
But an important responsibility accompanies the
benefits of wireless phones, on that every user must
uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility.
When using your wireless phone behind the wheel of
a car, practice good common sense and remember the
following tips:
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features
such as speed dial and redial. If available, these
features help you to place your call without taking
your attention off the road.
2. When available, use a hands free device. If
possible, add an additional layer of convenience and
safety to your wireless phone with one of the many
hands free accessories available today.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be
able to access your wireless phone without
removing your eyes from the road. If you get an
incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible,
let your voice mail answer it for you.
4. Let the person you are speaking with know you are
driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy
traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet,
snow, ice, and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
