54 Accessories
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion 1000 mAh
standard battery.
The following batteries are also available (ask your
SAMSUNG dealer for further details):
– SLIM Battery (674 mAh)
– STANDARDBattery (1000 mAh)
– EXTENDED Battery (1600 mAh)
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 affect-
ed 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 bat-
tery 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.
Using the Batteries

Road Safety
• Remember, road safety always comes first!
•Do not use a hand-held phone while driving a vehicle.
Always park the vehicle before having a conversation.
•Make sure that the phone is stored safely and will not fall
or be broken in the event of a collision or emergency stop.
•The use of an alert device to operate a vehicle’s lights or
horn on public roads is not permitted.
•Only qualified personnel should install or service the phone
in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be danger-
ous and may invalidate any warranty applicable to the unit.
•Electronic fuel injection, anti-skid braking, electronic cruise
control or any other electronic systems may malfunction
due to the lack of protection from radio signals. Check
regularly that all cellular phone equipment in your vehicle
is mounted and operating correctly.
Operating Environment
•Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any
area and always switch off your phone whenever it is for-
bidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or dan-
ger (in a hospital for example).
Safety Information
•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.
•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 life-time 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 bat-
tery is fully charged. Li-ion batteries are particularly
affected by temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F).
•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 back of the battery), for exam-
ple 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-circuit.
•Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regula-
tions. Always recycle. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.

Care and Maintenance
Your phone is a product of superior design and craftsmanship
and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will
help you fulfill the warranty obligations and enjoy this product
for many years.
•Keep the phone and all its parts and accessories out of the
reach of small children.
• Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids con-
taining minerals will corrode the electronic circuits.
•Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas as its
components may be damaged.
•Do not store the phone in hot areas. High temperatures can
shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries and
warp or melt certain plastics.
•Do not store the phone in cold areas. When the phone
warms up (to its normal temperature), moisture can form
inside the phone, which may damage the electronic cir-
cuits.
•Do not attempt to open the phone. Non-expert handling of
the phone may damage it.
•Do not drop or knock the phone. Rough handling may
damage the internal circuits.
•Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including
cellular phones, may interfere with inadequately protected
medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer
of the medical device if you have any questions. Other
electronic equipment may also be subject to interference.
•As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, you are
advised that for satisfactory operations and personal
safety, the equipment should only be used in the normal
operating position.
•Always switch off the phone when at a refuelling point
(service station). You are reminded of the need to observe
restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots
(fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants or
where blasting operations are in progress.
•Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive
materials in the same compartment as the phone, its parts
or accessories.
•Switch off your cellular phone when in an aircraft. The use
of cellular phones in an aircraft is illegal and may be
dangerous to the operation of the aircraft or disrupt the
cellular network. Failure to observe these instructions may
lead to the suspension or denial of cellular telephone ser-
vices to the offender, legal action or both.
