Samsung SCH-R260DAAUSC - Manual (Page 246)

241
• 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. Do not handle a damaged or leaking Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery.
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.
