and a possible risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other
serious hazard.
•
Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of
your battery: it may require cooling or warming first.
•
Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a
car in 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).
•
Do not place the phone in areas that may get very hot,
such as on or near a cooking surface, cooking appliance,
iron, or radiator.
•
Do not get your phone or battery wet. Even though they will
dry and appear to operate normally, the circuitry could
slowly corrode and pose a safety hazard.
•
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.
•
Do not permit a battery out of the phone to come in contact
with metal objects, such as coins, keys or jewelry.
•
Do not crush, puncture or put a high degree of pressure on
the battery as this can cause an internal short-circuit,
resulting in overheating.
•
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.
