Battery Use And Safety - Samsung GALAXY Tab 8.9 User Manual

Battery Use and Safety

The battery in GALAXY is not intended to be replaced by the
consumer. If you believe the battery is damaged or needs to
be replaced, take the GALAXY to a service center for
inspection and replacement.
•
Do not let the GALAXY or battery come in contact with
liquids. Liquids can get into the GALAXY's circuits, leading to
corrosion. Even when the GALAXY appears to be dry and appears
to operate normally, the circuitry could slowly corrode and pose a
safety hazard. If the GALAXY 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 GALAXY or the battery and could cause
the GALAXY 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 GALAXY in
your car in high temperatures.
•
Do not dispose of the GALAXY or the battery in a fire. The
GALAXY or the battery may explode when overheated.
•
Avoid dropping the GALAXY. Dropping the GALAXY, especially on
a hard surface, can potentially cause damage to the GALAXY. If
you suspect damage to the GALAXY or battery, take it to a service
center for inspection.
•
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way.
Important! Use only Samsung-approved batteries, and
recharge your battery only with
Samsung-approved chargers which are
specifically designed for your GALAXY.
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 GALAXY
caused by non-Samsung-approved batteries and/or
chargers.
