Battery Use and 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 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.
