For best battery performance, you should follow these
guidelines:

♦

Use your battery for its intended purpose only.

♦

Only use Samsung-approved batteries and desktop
chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize battery
life. Using other batteries or chargers will invalidate your
warranty and may cause damage as well.

♦

You must never use a battery charger that is damaged in
any way or worn out.

♦

To avoid damage, only charge the battery in temperatures
that range from 32° F to 104° F.

♦

Do not use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high
humidity areas (such as a bathroom).

♦

When a battery charger is not in use, disconnect it from
the power source.

♦

Never dispose of the battery by incineration (fire).

♦

Keep the metal contacts at the battery base clean.

♦

Do not attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery,
as injuries or burns may result.

♦

You may need to recharge the battery if it has not been
used for a long period of time.

♦

Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable
performance. It can be charged hundreds of times before it
will need to be replaced.

♦

Do not allow metal objects or liquids to contact or short-
circuit the battery terminals, as injuries or burns may
result.

♦

To avoid damage, store the battery in temperatures ranging
from -4° F to 185° F, and avoid leaving the battery unused
for very long periods. Follow these storage rules:

♦

Less than one month:
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 50° C)

♦

More than one month:
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 35° C)
