
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short- circuiting can
occur when a metallic object (coin, 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.

Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. In
some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business
trash may be prohibited. For safe disposal options for Li-Ion
batteries, contact your nearest Samsung authorized service center.
Always recycle. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
Care and Maintenance
Your phone is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should
be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you fulfill any
warranty obligations and allow you to enjoy this product for many years.

Keep the phone and all its parts and accessories out of the reach of
small children.

Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain
minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.

Do not use the phone with a wet hand. Doing so may cause an
electric shock to you or damage to the phone.

Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas, as its moving
parts may be damaged.

Do not store the phone in hot areas. High temperatures can
shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp
or melt certain plastics.

Do not store the phone in cold areas. When the phone warms up to
its normal operating temperature, moisture can form inside the
phone, which may damage the phone's electronic circuit boards.

Do not drop, knock or shake the phone. Rough handling can break
internal circuit boards.

Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents
to clean the phone. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a
mild soap-and-water solution.

Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the device's moving parts
and prevent proper operation.

Do not put the phone in or on heating devices, such as a
microwave oven, a stove or a radiator. The phone may explode
when overheated.

When the phone or battery gets wet, the label indicating water
damage inside the phone changes color. In this case, phone repairs
are no longer guaranteed by the manufacturer's warranty, even if
the warranty for your phone has not expired.

If your phone has a flash or light, do not use it too close to the
eyes of people or animals. This may cause damage to their eyes.
