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)
