Battery Use and Safety
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
short-circuit, resulting in overheating.
• Do not let the phone or battery come in
contact with liquids.
Liquids can get into
the phone's circuits, leading to corrosion.
Even when the phone appears to be dry
and appears to operate normally, the
circuitry could slowly corrode and pose a
safety hazard. If the phone and/or battery
get wet, have them checked by your
service provider or contact Samsung, even
if they appear to be working properly.
