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 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 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.

Health and Safety Information
Exposure to Radio-Frequency
Energy (SAR Information)
This phone meets Australian Communications Authority
(ACA) requirements (AS/NZS 2772) concerning
exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It
is designed and manufactured, so as not to exceed the
limits for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy, as
recommended by ACA. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted
levels of RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines were developed by independent scientific
organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation
of scientific studies. The limits include a substantial
safety margin designed to ensure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit
of measurement known as SAR (Specific Absorption
Rate). The SAR limit recommended by ACA is 1.6W/kg.
* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over
one gram of body tissue. The limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. The SAR values may
vary depending on the national reporting requirements and the network band.
