Section 14
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
• 
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.
• 
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.
• 
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.
