Samsung SGH-T404ZKATFN - Manual (Page 106)

102
• 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. Do not handle a damaged or
leaking Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. 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.
Care and Maintenance
Your phone is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated
with care. The suggestions below will help you fulfill any warranty obligations and
allow you to enjoy this product for many years.
• Keep the phone and all its parts and accessories out of the reach of small children.
• Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain minerals that will corrode
electronic circuits.
• Do not use the phone with a wet hand. Doing so may cause an electric shock to you or
damage to the phone.
• Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas, as its moving parts may be damaged.
• Do not store the phone in hot areas (over 45 °C (113 °F)). High temperatures can shorten
the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
