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