Health and Safety Information 89
• Do not place your battery in or near a heat source.
Excessive heating can damage the phone or the battery
and could cause the phone 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 phone in your car in high
temperatures.
• Do not dispose of the phone or the battery in a fire.
The phone 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 cell phone. Dropping the phone or
the battery, especially on a hard surface, can potentially
cause damage to the phone and battery. If you suspect
damage to the phone 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.
Important!: Use only Samsung-approved batteries, and
recharge your battery only with Samsung-approved
chargers which are specifically designed for your
phone.
Warning!: Use of a non-Samsung-approved battery or charger
may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other
hazard. Samsung's warranty does not cover damage
to the phone caused by non-Samsung-approved
batteries and/or chargers.
• Do not use incompatible cell phone batteries and
chargers. Some websites 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, or
leakage, leading to serious injuries, damages to your
phone, or other serious hazard.
