Samsung Galaxy S III Important Information Manual page 16

• Caution: Some applications or prolonged usage may increase device temperature.
Prolonged skin contact with a device that is hot to the touch may produce skin
discomfort or redness, or low-temperature burns. If the device feels hot to the touch,
discontinue use and close all applications or turn off the device until it cools. Always
ensure that the device has adequate ventilation and air flow. Covering the device
with bedding, your body, thick clothing or any other materials that significantly affect
air flow may affect the performance of the device and poses a possible risk of fire or
explosion, which could lead to serious bodily injuries or damage to property.
• Do not dispose of the phone or the battery in a fire. The phone or the battery may
explode when overheated.
• Do not handle a damaged or leaking battery. Do not let leaking battery fluid come
in contact with your eyes, skin or clothing. For safe disposal options, contact your
nearest Samsung-authorized service center.
• Avoid dropping the cell phone. Dropping the phone or the battery, especially on a
hard surface, can potentially cause damage to the phone and battery. If you suspect
damage to the phone or battery, take it to a service center for inspection.
• Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way.
• Do not allow the battery to touch metal objects. Accidental short-circuiting
can occur when a metallic object (coin, key, jewelry, 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.
Important: Use only Samsung-approved batteries, and recharge your battery only
with Samsung-approved chargers which are specifically designed for
your phone.
WARNING!
Use of a non-Samsung-approved battery or charger may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard. Samsung's warranty does not cover damage to
the phone caused by nonSamsung-approved batteries and/or chargers.
