Health & Safety
• Do not handle a damaged or leaking battery. Do not let leaking battery uid come in contact with your eyes, skin or clothing.
For safe disposal options, contact your nearest Samsung-authorized service center.
• Avoid dropping the cell phone. Dropping the phone or the battery, especially on a hard surface, can potentially cause
damage to the phone and battery. If you suspect damage to the phone 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.
Important! Use only Samsung-approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with Samsung-approved chargers which are
specically designed for your phone.
WARNING! Use of a non-Samsung-approved battery or charger may present a risk of re, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
Samsung’s warranty does not cover damage to the phone caused by nonSamsung-approved batteries and/or chargers.
• Do not use incompatible cell phone batteries and chargers. Some websites and second-hand dealers not associated with
reputable manufacturers and carriers, might be selling incompatible or even counterfeit batteries and chargers. Consumers
should purchase manufacturer or carrier-recommended products and accessories. If unsure about whether a replacement
battery or charger is compatible, contact the manufacturer of the battery or charger.
• Misuse or use of incompatible phones, batteries, and charging devices could result in damage to the equipment and a
possible risk of re, explosion, or leakage, leading to serious injuries, damages to your phone, or other serious hazard.
