Precautions When Using Batteries - Samsung SGH-E330 User Manual

SAR tests are conducted using standard operating
positions with the phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the
phone while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the phone is
designed to operate at multiple power levels so as
to use only the power required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a base
station, the lower the power output of the phone.
Before a new model phone is made available for
sale to the public, compliance with the European
R&TTE Directive must be shown. This directive
includes as one of its essential requirements the
protection of the health and safety of the user and
any other person.

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 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.
