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 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, the type

of battery and the 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.

Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of your battery: it

may require cooling or warming first.
