Health and Safety Information 311
•
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.
