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 

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. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the 

battery or the object causing the short-circuiting.

 

 

Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. In 

some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business 

trash may be prohibited. For safe disposal options for Li-Ion 

batteries, contact your nearest Samsung authorized service center. 

Always recycle. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.

 

Your phone is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should 

be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you fulfill any 

warranty obligations and allow you to enjoy this product for many years.

 

Care and Maintenance

 

 

Keep the phone and all its parts and accessories out of the reach of 

small children.

 

 

Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain 

minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.

 

 

Do not use the phone with a wet hand. Doing so may cause an 

electric shock to you or damage to the phone.
