Battery Use and Safety
Important! Handle and store batteries properly to
avoid injury or damage. Most battery
issues arise from improper handling of
batteries and, particularly, from the
continued use of damaged batteries.
•
Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, shred, or
otherwise attempt to change the form of your
battery. Do not put a high degree of pressure on the
battery. This can cause leakage or an internal
short-circuit, resulting in overheating.
•
Do not let the phone or battery come in contact
with liquids. Liquids can get into the phone's
circuits, leading to corrosion. Even when the phone
appears to be dry and appears to operate normally,
the circuitry could slowly corrode and pose a safety
hazard. If the phone and/or battery get wet, have
them checked by your service provider or contact
Samsung, even if they appear to be working
properly.
•
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.
•
Caution: Some applications or prolonged usage
may increase device temperature. Prolonged skin
contact with a device that is hot to the touch may
produce skin discomfort or redness, or low-
temperature burns. If the device feels hot to the
touch, discontinue use and close all applications or
turn off the device until it cools. Always ensure that
the phone has adequate ventilation and air flow.
Covering the device with bedding, your body, thick
clothing or any other materials that significantly
affect air flow may affect the performance of the
phone and poses a possible risk of fire or explosion,
which could lead to serious bodily injuries or
damage to property.
•
Do not dispose of the phone or the battery in a
fire. The phone or the battery may explode when
overheated.
