Device overheating situations and solutions

When the device heats up while charging the battery

While charging, the device and the charger may become hot. During wireless charging or fast
charging, the device may feel hotter to the touch. This does not affect the device’s lifespan or
performance and is in the device’s normal range of operation. If the battery becomes too hot,
the charger may stop charging.

Do the following when the device heats up:

r

Disconnect the charger from the device and close any running apps. Wait for the
device to cool down and then begin charging the device again.

r

If the lower part of the device overheats, it could be because the connected USB
cable is damaged. Replace the damaged USB cable with a new Samsung-approved
one.

r

When using a wireless charger, do not place foreign materials, such as metal objects,
magnets, and magnetic stripe cards, between the device and the wireless charger.

The wireless charging or fast charging feature is only available on supported models.

When the device heats up during use

When you use features or apps that require more power or use them for extended periods,
your device may temporarily heat up due to increased battery consumption. Close any
running apps and do not use the device for a while.

The following are examples of situations in which the device may overheat. Depending on
the functions and apps you use, these examples may not apply to your model.

Battery

Charging the battery

Charge the battery before using it for the first time or when it has been unused for extended
periods.

Use only Samsung-approved chargers, batteries, and cables. Unapproved chargers or
cables can cause the battery to explode or damage the device.

Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any
damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.

To save energy, unplug the charger when not in use. The charger does not have a
power switch, so you must unplug the charger from the electric socket when not in
use to avoid wasting power. The charger should remain close to the electric socket
and easily accessible while charging.

1

Connect the USB cable to the USB power adaptor.

Basics

Battery charging tips and precautions

r

When the battery power is low, the battery icon appears empty.

r

If the battery is completely discharged, the device cannot be turned on immediately
when the charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few minutes
before turning on the device.

r

If you use multiple apps at once, network apps, or apps that need a connection to
another device, the battery will drain quickly. To avoid losing power during a data
transfer, always use these apps after fully charging the battery.

r

Using a power source other than the charger, such as a computer, may result in a slower
charging speed due to a lower electric current.

r

The device can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge the
battery.

r

If the device receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touchscreen may not
function. If this happens, unplug the charger from the device.

r

While charging, the device and the charger may heat up. This is normal and should not
affect the device’s lifespan or performance. If the battery gets hotter than usual, the
charger may stop charging.

r

If you charge the device while the multipurpose jack is wet, the device may be damaged.
Thoroughly dry the multipurpose jack before charging the device.

r

If the device is not charging properly, take the device and the charger to a Samsung
Service Centre.

SIM or USIM card (nano-SIM card)

Installing the SIM or USIM card

Insert the SIM or USIM card provided by the mobile telephone service provider.

For dual SIM models, you can insert two SIM or USIM cards so you can have two phone
numbers or service providers for a single device. In some areas, data transfer speeds may be
slower if two SIM cards are inserted in the device than when one SIM card is inserted.

Basics

15

Use caution not to lose or let others use the SIM or USIM card. Samsung is not
responsible for any damages or inconveniences caused by lost or stolen cards.

Some LTE services may not be available depending on the service provider. For more
information about service availability, contact your service provider.
