Samsung SCH-I535MBPVZW - Manual (Page 17)

Health and Safety Information 12
• 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.
• 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.
