Using the Batteries

SAMSUNG dealer for further details):

– Standard battery

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 times are greatly
affected by the signal strength on the cellular network
and the parameters set by the network operator.
• Battery charging times depend 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.
