Using the Batteries
Your phone is powered by a re c h a rgeable Li-ion
s t a n d a rd battery.
The following batteries are also available (ask your
SAMSUNG dealer for further details):
– BTI24G slim battery
– BTS24G standard battery
– BTE24G extended battery
Precautions When Using Batteries
• 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 times
are greatly affected by the signal strength on the
cellular network and the parameters set by the
network operator.
• Battery charging times depend 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.

Solving Problems
The phone starts beeping and “**Warning**
Battery Low” flashes in the display
• The battery is insufficiently charged. Replace the
battery and recharge it.
The audio quality of the call is poor
• Check the signal strength indicator in the display
( ); the number of bars after it indicates the
signal strength from strong (
) to weak ( ).
• Try extending the antenna, moving the phone
slightly or moving closer to a window if you are in
a building.
No number is dialled when you recall a
phonebook entry
• Check that the numbers have been stored
correctly, by using the Phonebook Search feature.
• Re-store them, if necessary.
If the above guidelines do not enable you to solve
the problem, take a note of:
• The model and serial numbers of your phone
• Your warranty details
• A clear description of the problem
Then contact your local dealer or SAMSUNG
after-sales service.
