♦
Battery charging time depends on the remaining battery charge,
the type of battery and the 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
lifetime 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. Shortcircuiting the terminals may damage the
battery or the object causing the short-circuiting.
♦
Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
Always recycle. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
Operating Environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and
always switch your phone off whenever it is forbidden to use it, or
when it may cause interference or danger.
When connecting the phone or any accessory to another device, read
its user’s guide for detailed safety instructions. Do not connect
incompatible products.
