Road Safety - Samsung SGH-D500 Manual

Health and safety information
• 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 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.
• Dispose used batteries in accordance with local
regulations. Always recycle. Do not dispose of
batteries in a fire.

Road safety

Your wireless phone gives you the powerful ability to
communicate by voice, almost anywhere, anytime. But
an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of
wireless phones, one that every user must uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility.
When using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a
car, make sure that you are following the special
regulations in a given area or country.
