charged. Li-ion batteries are particularly affected by temperatures below 0
°C (32 °F).
•
Do not place the phone in areas that may get very hot, such as on or near a
cooking surface, cooking appliance, iron, or radiator.
•
Do not get your phone or battery wet. Even though they will dry and appear
to operate normally, the circuitry could slowly corrode and pose a safety
hazard.
•
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when
a metallic object (coin, 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.
•
Do not permit a battery out of the phone to come in contact with metal
objects, such as coins, keys or jewelry.
•
Do not crush, puncture or put a high degree of pressure on the battery as
this can cause an internal short-circuit, resulting in overheating.
•
Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. In some
areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be
prohibited. For safe disposal options for Li-Ion batteries, contact your
nearest Samsung authorized service center. Always recycle. Do not dispose
of batteries in a fire.
