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.

• 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.
