• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a car in summer
or winter conditions, as you will reduce the 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 phone in areas that may get very hot, such as on or near
a cooking surface, cooking appliance, iron, or radiator.
•
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. 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.
