Health and safety 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
• 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, even when the battery is fully charged.
Li-ion batteries are particularly affected by
temperatures below 0℃(32 ℉).
• 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 of used batteries in accordance with
local regulations. In some areas, the disposal
of batteries in household or business trash
may be prohibited. For safe disposal options
for Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest
Samsung authorized service center. Always
recycle. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
Care and Maintenance
Your phone is a product of superior design and
craftsmanship and should be treated with care. The
suggestions below will help you fulfill any warranty
obligations and allow you to enjoy this product for many
years.
• Keep your phone and all its parts and
accessories out of the reach of small children
and pets. They may accidentally damage these
things or choke on small parts.
• Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity
and liquids contain minerals that will corrode
electronic circuits.
• Do not use the phone with a wet hand. Doing
so may cause an electric shock to you or
damage to the phone.
• Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty
areas, as its moving parts may be damaged.
