Battery Precautions

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-polymer
standard battery. The 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 a 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 life-time of the battery.
