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 shortcircuit, resulting in overheating.
• 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.
• 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 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.
• 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.
