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 power source. Do not
leave the battery connected to a
charger for more than a week,
since overcharging may shorten its
life.
