Safety Information; Road Safety; Operating Environment - Samsung SAM911 User Manual

• 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.
• 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 life-time 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 bat-
tery 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 back of the battery), for exam-
ple 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-circuit.
• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regula-
tions. Always recycle. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.

Safety Information

Road Safety

• Remember, road safety always comes first!
• Do not use a hand-held phone while driving a vehicle.
Always park the vehicle before having a conversation.
• Make sure that the phone is stored safely and will not fall
or be broken in the event of a collision or emergency stop.
• The use of an alert device to operate a vehicle's lights or
horn on public roads is not permitted.
• Only qualified personnel should install or service the phone
in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be danger-
ous and may invalidate any warranty applicable to the unit.
• Electronic fuel injection, anti-skid braking, electronic cruise
control or any other electronic systems may malfunction
due to the lack of protection from radio signals. Check
regularly that all cellular phone equipment in your vehicle
is mounted and operating correctly.

Operating Environment

• Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any
area and always switch off your phone whenever it is for-
bidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or dan-
ger (in a hospital for example).
