Battery Use and Safety

Important!: Handle and store batteries properly to avoid injury or
damage. Most battery issues arise from improper
handling of batteries and, particularly, from the
continued use of damaged batteries.
•
Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, shred, or
otherwise attempt to change the form of your battery.
Do not put a high degree of pressure on the battery. This
can cause leakage or an internal short-circuit, resulting in
overheating.
•
Do not let the phone or battery come in contact with
liquids. Liquids can get into the phone's circuits, leading
to corrosion. Even when the phone appears to be dry and
appears to operate normally, the circuitry could slowly
corrode and pose a safety hazard. If the phone and/or
battery get wet, have them checked by your service
provider or contact Samsung, even if they appear to be
working properly.
•
Do not place your battery in or near a heat source.
Excessive heating can damage the phone or the battery
and could cause the phone or the battery to explode. Do
not dry a wet or damp battery with an appliance or heat
source such as a microwave oven, hair dryer, iron, or
radiator. Avoid leaving your phone in your car in high
temperatures.
•
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 non-Samsung-approved
batteries and/or chargers.
•
Do not use incompatible cell phone batteries and
chargers. Some websites and second-hand dealers not
associated with reputable manufacturers and carriers,
might be selling incompatible or even counterfeit
