Health and Safety Information 37
•
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 wireless mobile device or battery come in
contact with liquids.
Liquids can get into the wireless mobile
device’s circuits, leading to corrosion. Even when the mobile
wireless device appears to be dry and appears to operate
normally, the circuitry could slowly corrode and pose a safety
hazard. If the mobile wireless device 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
wireless mobile device 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
wireless mobile device in your car in high temperatures.
•
Do not dispose of the wireless mobile device or the battery in
a fire
. The wireless mobile device or the battery may explode
when overheated.
•
Do not handle a damaged or leaking battery
. Do not let leaking
battery fluid come in contact with your eyes, skin or clothing. For
safe disposal options, contact your nearest Samsung-authorized
service center.
•
Avoid dropping the wireless mobile device
. Dropping the
wireless mobile device or the battery, especially on a hard
surface, can potentially cause damage to the wireless mobile
device and battery. If you suspect damage to the wireless mobile
device or battery, take it to a service center for inspection.
•
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way
.
•
Do not allow the battery to touch metal objects
. Accidental
short-circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin, key,
jewelry, 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.
