Call Quality
For optimum call quality with your phone, please
follow these guidelines:
• Fully extend the antenna. While it may be possible
to place calls with the antenna retracted, the
phone operates best with the antenna fully
extended.
• Hold the phone as you would hold any other
telephone handset. Speak directly into the
microphone, and position the antenna up and over
your shoulder while talking.
• Do not hold the antenna while using the phone, as
this may affect call quality.

Caring for the Battery
Use only SAMSUNG-approved batteries, Desktop and
Travel chargers. These chargers maximize battery life
and performance. Using other batteries or chargers
may invalidate your warranty and may damage the
battery.
For proper battery care, please follow these guidelines:
• To avoid damage, charge the battery in
temperatures that range from 32˚F to 104˚F
(O˚C to 40˚C).
• Do not use the battery charger in direct sunlight
or in high humidity areas (such as a bathroom).
• Never dispose of the battery by incineration (fire).
• Keep the metal contacts at the battery base clean.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the
battery, as injuries or burns may result.
• Replace the battery when it no longer provides
acceptable performance.
• Do not store the battery in high-temperature
areas for a long time.
• Do not allow metal objects or liquids to contact or
short-circuit the battery terminals, as injuries or
burns may result.
Battery Disposal and Recycling
Please be aware of the following guidelines when
disposing of or recycling the battery:
• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire; the cell
may explode. Check the regulations in your area
for special disposal instructions.
• Do not open or puncture the battery; the released
electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to
the eyes and skin. This substance also can be
toxic if swallowed.
• Charge the battery in accordance with the
