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 shortcircuit, resulting in overheating.
•
Do not let the GALAXY or battery come in contact with
liquids
. Liquids can get into the GALAXY’s circuits, leading to
corrosion. Even when the GALAXY appears to be dry and appears
to operate normally, the circuitry could slowly corrode and pose a
safety hazard. If the GALAXY 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 GALAXY or the battery and could cause
the GALAXY 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 GALAXY in
your car in high temperatures.
•
Do not dispose of the GALAXY or the battery in a fire
. The
GALAXY 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 GALAXY
. Dropping the GALAXY, especially on
a hard surface, can potentially cause damage to the GALAXY. If
you suspect damage to the GALAXY 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.
