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.
• 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,
Health and safety information
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
shortcircuiting 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 of used batteries in accordance with
local regulations. Always recycle. Do not
dispose of 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.
