•
Avoid dropping the cell phone.
Dropping the phone or the battery, especially on a hard surface, can potentially cause dam-
age 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, jewel-
ry, 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 rep-
utable 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 replace-
ment 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.
