Caring for the Battery
Use only Samsung-approved batteries, desktop and travel
chargers. These chargers maximize battery life and
performance. Using other batteries or chargers may
invalidate your warranty and may damage the battery.
For proper battery care, please follow these guidelines:
• To avoid damage, charge the battery in temperatures
that range from 32°F to 104°F (O°C to 40°C).
• Do not use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in
high humidity areas (such as a bathroom).
• Never dispose of the battery by incineration (fire).
• Keep the metal contacts at the battery base clean.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the
battery, as injuries or burns may result.
• Replace the battery when it no longer provides
acceptable performance.
• Do not store the battery in high-temperature areas for
a long time.
• Do not allow metal objects or liquids to contact or
short-circuit the battery terminals, as injuries or burns
may result.
