summer or winter conditions, as you will reduce the capacity and 
lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery at room 
temperature. A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily 
not work, even when the battery is fully charged. Li-ion batteries 
are particularly affected by temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F). 

z

 

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. 

z

 

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. 

z

 

Keep the phone and all its parts and accessories out of the reach of 
small children. 

z

 

Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain 
minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. 

z

 

Do not use the phone with a wet hand. Doing so may cause an 
electric shock to you or damage to the phone. 

z

 

Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas, as its moving 
parts may be damaged. 

z

 

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. 

z

 

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. 

z

 

Do not drop, knock or shake the phone. Rough handling can break 
internal circuit boards. 

z

 

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. 

z

 

Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the device's moving parts 
and prevent proper operation. 

z

 

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. 

z

 

When the phone or battery gets wet, the label indicating water
