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.
