4A. Important Safety Information

Care and Maintenance

Please note the following information when using your device:

1.

WARNING REGARDING DISPLAY

The display on your device is made of glass or acrylic
and could break if your device is dropped or if it receives
significant impact. Do not use if screen is broken or
cracked as this could cause injury to you.

2.

WARRANTY DISCLAIMER: PROPER USE OF A TOUCH-
SCREEN DEVICE

If your device has a touch-screen display, please note
that a touch-screen responds best to a light touch from
the pad of your finger or a non-metallic stylus. Using
excessive force or a metallic object when pressing on the
touch-screen may damage the tempered glass surface
and void the warranty. For more information, please refer
to the “Manufacturer’s Warranty” on page 204.

Protecting Your Battery

The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your
battery’s performance.

Recently there have been some public reports of wireless
device batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It
appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve
counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with
unknown or questionable manufacturing standards. Sprint is
not aware of similar problems with Sprint devices resulting
from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved
by Sprint or the manufacturer of your device.

In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in
temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).

Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.

Never dispose of the battery by incineration.

Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.

Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.

The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for
a long period of time.

It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides
acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds of
times before it needs replacing.

Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long
periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:

Less than one month:

-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)

More than one month:

-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)

Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries

Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you can
be burned.

For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your
nearest Sprint authorized service center.

Special Note

: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In

some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business
trash may be prohibited. See “Samsung Mobile Products and
Recycling” on page 196.
