charges. Not all features are available for purchase or use
in all areas. Downloadable Ring Tones may be available
at an additional cost. Other conditions and restrictions
may apply. See your service provider for additional
information.
Battery Standby and Talk Time
Standby and talk times will vary depending on
phone usage patterns and conditions. Battery power
consumption depends on factors such as network
configuration, signal strength, operating temperature,
features selected, frequency of calls, and voice, data, and
other application usage patterns.
Battery Precautions
• 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
Health and safety information
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
℃
(32
℉
).
• 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.
