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.
• Caution: Some applications or prolonged usage may increase device temperature. Prolonged skin contact with a device
that is hot to the touch may produce skin discomfort or redness, or low-temperature burns. If the device feels hot to the touch,
discontinue use and close all applications or turn off the device until it cools. Always ensure that the device has adequate
ventilation and air flow. Covering the device with bedding, your body, thick clothing or any other materials that significantly
affect air flow may affect the performance of the device and poses a possible risk of fire or explosion, which could lead to
serious bodily injuries or damage to property.
• Do not dispose of the phone or the battery in a fire. The phone or the battery may explode when overheated.
