Before You return any device?
The process on returning units you have already bought can be confusing as stores and some carriers may not even know how to handle the situation fully. But for sure you are going to want to make sure you keep the old box and everything that came with your Note 7 for the return. That includes documentation and the phone which should be intact.
If you Must use your device!
I do stress that you return the phone but if you must use the device for some reason:
1. Charge the phone with the Wireless charger. Users have found that the witless charger heats up the battery less. Also don’t leave your phone unattended while charging.
2. Don’t charge your battery above 60%. It seems Samsung will be releasing a update for those suborn users who don’t want to return their phones so it wont charge above 60% as a safety mechanism to prevent further fires. Statistics have show as well that a lot of users are still using their Note 7 despite the recall. Also Airlines have banned the Note 7 as it poses a fire hazard.
How to check if your Note 7 has a Faulty battery that’s prone to exploding?
1. First look at the Note 7 box and on the lower front side just beneath the front logo on top you should see a blue sticker in the upper right corner that has a black dot and a S. The S indicates that the device is safe and does not contain a faulty battery.
Now don’t worry if you don’t have the box to look for the sticker then try option 2 below.
2. In your phone go to the dial pad and type:*#06# to get your IMEI number. Now go to this database that identifies phones with the faulty battery or the new safe battery based on your phones IMEI. The website can be found here and all you have to do is input your IMEI number and get the result easy.
