Health and Safety Information 135
•
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.
WARNING!
Use of a non-Samsung-approved battery or
charger may present a risk of fire, explosion,
leakage, or other hazard
. Samsung's warranty
does not cover damage to the phone caused by
nonSamsung-approved batteries and/or
chargers.
•
Do not use incompatible cell phone batteries
and chargers
. Some websites and second-hand
dealers not associated with reputable
manufacturers and carriers, might be selling
incompatible or even counterfeit batteries and
chargers. Consumers should purchase
manufacturer or carrier-recommended products and
accessories. If unsure about whether a replacement
battery or charger is compatible, contact the
manufacturer of the battery or charger.
•
Misuse or use of incompatible phones, batteries,
and charging devices could result in damage to
the equipment and a possible risk of fire,
explosion, or leakage, leading to serious
injuries, damages to your phone, or other
serious hazard
.
