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 shortcircuiting. Health and Safety Information 81

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.
