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.
●
Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a
car in summer or winter conditions, as you will reduce the
capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the
battery at room temperature. A phone with a hot or cold
battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery
is fully charged. Li-ion batteries are particularly affected by
temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F).
●
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting
can occur when a metallic object (coin, clip or pen) causes
a direct connection between the + and – terminals of the
battery (metal strips on the battery), for example when
you carry a spare battery in a pocket or bag. Short-
circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the
object causing the short-circuiting.
●
Dispose used batteries in accordance with local
regulations. Always recycle. Do not dispose batteries in
a fire.

Road Safety
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to
communicate by voice, almost anywhere, anytime. But an
important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless
phones, one that every user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. When
using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice
good common sense and remember the following tips:
●
Get to know your wireless phone and its features, such as
speed dial and redial. If available, these features help you
to place your call without taking your attention off the
road.
●
When available, use a hands-free device. If possible, add
an extra layer of convenience and safety to your wireless
phone with one of the many hands-free accessories
available today.
●
Position your wireless phone within easy reach. Be able to
access your wireless phone without removing your eyes
from the road. If you get an incoming call at an
inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer it for you.
●
Let the person you are speaking with know you are
driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or
hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and
even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
●
Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Jotting down a To Do list or flipping through your
phonebook takes your attention away from your primary
responsibility, driving safely.
●
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls
when you are not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try
to plan calls when your car will be stationary. If you need
to make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers,
check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
