Samsung Electronics on Saturday urged consumers to stop using Galaxy Note 7 smartphones immediately and exchange them as soon as possible, as more reports of the phones catching fire emerged even after the company's global recall.
因全球召回之后手機(jī)著火的舉報(bào)也只增不減,三星電子于上周六發(fā)布消息,敦促消費(fèi)者立即停用并盡快更換Galaxy Note 7手機(jī)。
The call from the South Korean company, the world's largest smartphone maker, comes after US authorities urged consumers to switch the Galaxy Note 7 off and not to use or charge it during a flight. Several airlines around the world asked travelers not switch on the jumbo smartphone or put it in checked baggage, with some carriers banning the phone on flights.
這家韓國(guó)公司是全球最大的智能手機(jī)制造商。在此消息發(fā)布之前,美國(guó)官方已強(qiáng)烈要求用戶切斷Galaxy Note 7手機(jī)電源,不要在飛機(jī)上使用或充電。世界各地的幾家航空公司也要求乘客不要開機(jī)、不要將手機(jī)放于托運(yùn)行李中。一些運(yùn)輸公司也禁止空運(yùn)該手機(jī)。
In a statement posted on its website, Samsung asked users around the world to "immediately" return their existing Galaxy Note 7 and get a replacement.

"We are expediting replacement devices so that they can be provided through the exchange program as conveniently as possible."
