Health and Safety Information 95
• 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.
