Battery Use & Safety
The battery in GALAXY is not intended to be replaced by the
consumer. If you believe the battery is damaged or needs to be
replaced, take the GALAXY to a service center for inspection and
replacement.
•
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.
•
Avoid dropping the cell 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.
Important!:
Use only Samsung-approved batteries, and recharge your battery
only with Samsung-approved chargers which are specifically
designed for your GALAXY.
WARNING!
Use of a non-Samsung-approved battery or charger may present
a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. Samsung's
warranty does not cover damage to the GALAXY caused by non-
Samsung-approved batteries and/or chargers.
•
Do not use incompatible 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 batteries and charging devices could
result in damage to the equipment and a possible risk of fire,
explosion, or leakage, leading to serious injuries, damages to your
phone, or other serious hazard.
