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 place the phone in areas that may get very hot, such as on or 
near a cooking surface, cooking appliance, iron, or radiator. 
• 
Do not get your phone or battery wet. Even though they will dry and 
appear to operate normally, the circuitry could slowly corrode and 
pose a safety hazard. 
• 
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.
• 
Do not permit a battery out of the phone to come in contact with metal 
objects, such as coins, keys or jewelry. 
• 
Do not crush, puncture or put a high degree of pressure on the battery 
as this can cause an internal short-circuit, resulting in overheating. 
• 
Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. In some 
areas, the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be 
prohibited. For safe disposal options for Li-Ion batteries, contact your 
nearest Samsung authorized service center. Always recycle. Do not 
dispose of batteries in a fire.
Care and Maintenance
Your phone is a product of superior design and craftsmanship 
and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help 
you fulfill any warranty obligations and allow you to enjoy this 
product for many years.
• 
Keep the phone and all its parts and accessories out of the reach of 
small children.
• 
Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain 
minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.
• 
Do not use the phone with a wet hand. Doing so may cause an electric 
shock to you or damage to the phone.
• 
Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas, as its moving parts 
may be damaged.
• 
Do not store the phone in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the 
life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain 
plastics.
• 
Do not store the phone in cold areas. When the phone warms up to its 
normal operating temperature, moisture can form inside the phone, 
which may damage the phone's electronic circuit boards.
• 
Do not drop, knock or shake the phone. Rough handling can break 
internal circuit boards.
• 
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents to 
clean the phone. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild 
soap-and-water solution.
