Care and Maintenance
be charged at temperatures below 0 degrees C (32 degrees F) or above 45
degrees C (113 degrees 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, key, jewelry 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 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.
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.
