a new battery.
z
If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
z
Use only Samsung-approved batteries and recharge your battery only with
Samsung-approved chargers. When a charger is not in use, disconnect it
from the power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for
more than a week, since overcharging may shorten its life.
z
Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of your battery: it may
require cooling or warming first.
z
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).
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.
