Caring for the Battery
Use only Samsung-approved batteries with Samsung-
approved dual-slot 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.
• 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 allow metal objects or liquids to contact or
short-circuit the battery terminals, as injuries or burns
may result.
• To avoid damage, store the battery in temperatures
ranging from -4° F to 185° F, and avoid leaving the
battery unused for very long periods.
