Health and safety information
163
This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple
power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a base station, the
lower the power output of the phone.
Before a new model phone is made available for sale to the
public, compliance with the European R&TTE Directive must be
shown. This directive includes as one of its essential
requirements the protection of the health and safety of the
user and any other person.
Precautions when using batteries
• Never use any adapter 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, the type of battery, and the adapter 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) becomes 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
adapter is not in use, disconnect it from the power source.
Do not leave the battery connected to a adapter for more
than a week, since overcharging may shorten its life.
