• Use only Samsung-approved batteries and recharge your
battery only with Samsung-approved chargers which are
specifically designed for your phone. When a charger is
not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not
leave the battery connected to a charger for more than a
week, since overcharging may shorten its life.
• Do not use incompatible cell phone batteries and
chargers. Some Web sites and second-hand dealers, not
associated with reputable manufacturers and carriers,
might be selling incompatible or even counterfeit batteries
and chargers. Consumers should purchase manufacturer
or carrier recommended products and accessories. If
unsure about whether a replacement battery or charger is
compatible, contact the manufacturer of the battery or
charger.
• Misuse or use of incompatible phones, batteries, and
charging devices could result in damage to the equipment
and a possible risk of fire, explosion, leakage serious
injuries, damage to your phone, or other serious hazard.
• Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of
your battery: it may require cooling or warming first.
• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, (below 0 °C
(32 °F) or over 45 °C (113 °F) such as in a car in summer
or winter conditions, as you will reduce the charging
capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the
battery at room temperature. A phone with a hot or cold
battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery
is fully charged. Li-ion batteries are particularly affected
by temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F).
• Do not place the battery in, on or near areas that may get
very hot, such as on or near a microwave oven, cooking
surface, cooking appliance, iron, or radiator. Batteries
may explode when overheated.
• 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. 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.
