Performance and Safety Guidelines 161
Caring for the Battery
Protecting your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the
most out of your battery’s performance.
ᮣ Use only Samsung-approved batteries and
desktop chargers. These chargers are
designed to maximize battery life. Using
other batteries or chargers voids your
warranty and may cause damage.
ᮣ In order to avoid damage, charge the
battery only in temperatures that range
from 32º F to 104º F
(0º C to 40º C).
ᮣ Don’t use the battery charger in direct
sunlight or in high humidity areas, such
as the bathroom.
ᮣ Never dispose of the battery by
incineration.
ᮣ Keep the metal contacts on top of the
battery clean.
ᮣ Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-
circuit the battery.
ᮣ The battery may need recharging if it has
not been used for a long period of time.
ᮣ It’s best to replace the battery when it no
longer provides acceptable performance. It
can be recharged hundreds of times before
it needs replacing.
