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
• 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.
• 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
