•
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.
