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 and a possible risk of fire,

explosion, leakage, or other serious hazard.

•

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).

•

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.

•

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.

•

Do not permit a battery out of the phone to come in contact with metal

objects, such as coins, keys or jewelry.

•

Do not crush, puncture or put a high degree of pressure on the battery

as this can cause an internal short-circuit, resulting in overheating.
