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
• Avoid dropping the cell phone. Dropping it, especially on a
hard surface, can potentially cause damage to the phone
and battery. If you suspect damage to the phone or battery,
take it to a service center for inspection.
• Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any
way.
• Do not modify or remanufacture the battery as this could
result in serious safety hazards.
• 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.
• Follow battery usage, storage and charging guidelines
found in the user’s guide.
• 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.
• Do not use incompatible cell phone batteries and chargers.
Some Web sites and second-hand dealers, not associated
with reputable manufacturers and carriers, might be
selling incompatible or even counterfeit batteries and
chargers. Consumers should purchase manufacturer or
carrier recommended products and accessories. If unsure
about whether a replacement battery or charger is
compatible, contact the manufacturer of the battery or
charger.
• Misuse or use of incompatible phones, batteries, and
charging devices could result in damage to the equipment
