Battery Precautions
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable polymer battery. Read the
following cautions concerning the battery:
●
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any
way.
●
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
●
If your phone has a strong signal, 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,
including talk time and standby time, is noticeably shorter
than normal, it is time to purchase a new battery.
●
If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself
over time.
●
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and 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 7 days, since overcharging may shorten its life.
●
Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of
your battery. The battery may require cooling or warming
before charging.
●
Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a
car. It 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 not work correctly,
even if the battery is fully charged. Li-polymer batteries are
sensitive to temperatures below 0
°
C (32 F).
●
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting
