Health and Safety Information 69
• 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.
