or accessing information, as this could result in loss of data and/or
damage to the card of phone, (iii) protect cards from strong shocks,
static electricity, and electrical noise from other devices, and (iv) do
not touch gold-colored contacts or terminals with your fingers or metal
objects (if dirty, wipe the card with a soft cloth).

Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If
your phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove
the battery. If it is inoperable, call Customer Care for service.
Availability of Various Features/Ring Tones
Many services and features are network dependent and may
require additional subscription and/or usage 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
•
Avoid dropping the cell phone. Dropping it, especially on a hard
surface, can potentially cause damage to the phone and battery. If you
suspect damage to the phone or battery, take it to a service center for
inspection.
•
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way.
•
Do not modify or remanufacture the battery as this could result in
serious safety hazards. Use batteries only for their intended use.
•
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.
•
Follow battery usage, storage and charging guidelines found in the
user’s guide.
•
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 and
must be recharged before use.
•
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and recharge your battery only
with Samsung-approved chargers which are specifically designed for
your phone. When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power
