Health and safety information

168

• 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.

• Extreme temperatures will affect the charging

capacity of your battery: it may require cooling or

warming first.

• 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).

• 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.

• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local

regulations. Always recycle. Do not dispose of

batteries in a fire.
