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 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.
• 
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 °C (32 °F). The battery 
should not be charged at temperatures below 0 degrees C (32 degrees 
F) or above 45 degrees C (113 degrees F).
• 
Do not place the phone in areas that may get very hot, such as on or 
near a cooking surface, cooking appliance, iron, or radiator. 
• 
Do not get your phone or battery wet. Even though they will dry and 
appear to operate normally, the circuitry could slowly corrode and 
pose a safety hazard.
