Getting started

•

Use the device in a place without magnetic interference for the device to operate normally.

•

Your device contains magnets. Keep it away from credit cards, implanted medical devices, and other devices that may be affected by magnets. In the case of medical devices, keep your device more than 15 cm apart. Stop using your device if you suspect any interference with your medical device and consult your physician or your medical device manufacturer. The location of the magnets is marked in grey in the device image.

•

If you have a medical implant in your heart, do not place your device in a pocket close to your implanted device, such as your chest or inner jacket pocket.

•

Keep a safe distance between your device and objects that are affected by magnets. Objects such as credit cards, passbooks, access cards, boarding passes, or parking passes may be damaged or disabled by the magnets in the device.

•

Do not fold the device toward the backside. The device will be damaged.

•

Fold the device before putting it in a bag or storing it. Be sure not to store the device unfolded as there is a chance that another object could scratch or puncture the screen or cause screen damage.

•

Do not press the screen or the under display camera lens with a hard or sharp object, such as a pen or fingernail. Doing so may result in damage to device, such as scratches, dents, or screen damage.

•

Do not apply excessive pressure to the area where the screen folds. Doing so may result in screen damage.

•

Do not unfold the device by pushing the screen apart with your finger or other objects. Doing so may result in damage to the device, such as scratches or punctures on the screen.

•

The protector film attached to the main screen is a film that was designed exclusively for foldable devices. For the protection of the screen, it is recommended that you do not remove the film. If you remove the protector film, the screen may be damaged.

•

Do not apply other films or stickers not approved by Samsung. Doing so may result in screen damage.

•

Be careful as the coating of the screen protector film may peel off when performing repetitive touch actions, such as swiping on the screen.

Getting started

•

When folding the device, do not place any objects, such as cards, coins, keys, or an S Pen, in between the screens, as doing so may cause damage.

•

Exposure to small particles, such as sand, may cause damage to the device, such as scratches or dents on the screen.

•

When using the speakers, such as when playing media files or using speakerphone, do not place the device close to your ears.

•

Be careful not to expose the camera lens to a strong light source, such as direct sunlight. If the camera lens is exposed to a strong light source, such as direct sunlight, the camera image sensor may be damaged. A damaged image sensor is irreparable and will cause dots or spots in pictures.

•

If you use the device with its glass or acrylic body broken, there may be a risk of injury. Use the device only after it has been repaired at a Samsung Service Centre or an authorised service centre.

•

If dust or foreign materials enter the microphone, speaker, or receiver, or if these parts are covered, the device’s sound may become quiet or certain features may not work. If you attempt to remove the dust or foreign materials with a sharp object, the device may be damaged and its appearance may be affected.

•

Be careful not to drop the device on the floor as it could damage the screen and result in black bruise-like spots or colourful dots on the screen. It could also damage the area where the screen folds by causing internal cracking.

•

The S Pen is sold separately. Use the S Pen that is designed for the Galaxy Fold. All other S Pens or stylus pens may damage the screen.

•

Do not apply excessive pressure to the screen with the S Pen, as doing so may cause screen damage.

Getting started

•

You may notice a crease at the centre of the main screen. This is a normal characteristic of the device.

•

Connectivity problems and battery drain may occur in the following situations:

‒

If you attach metallic stickers on the antenna area of the device

‒

If you attach a device cover made with metallic material to the device

‒

If you cover the device’s antenna area with your hands or other objects while using certain features, such as calls or the mobile data connection

•

If the air vent hole is covered by an accessory, such as a protective film or sticker, unwanted noises may occur during calls or media playback.

•

Do not cover the proximity/light sensor area with accessories, such as stickers or a cover. Doing so may cause the sensor to malfunction.

•

The light may flicker at the top of the device during calls because of proximity sensor operation.

•

S Pen features are only supported on the main screen.

Charging the battery

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

Wired charging

Connect the USB cable to the USB power adapter and plug the cable into the device’s multipurpose jack to charge the battery. After fully charging, disconnect the charger from the device.

Getting started

Wireless charging

The device has a built-in wireless charging coil. You can charge the battery using a wireless charger (sold separately).

Fold the device before charging the battery. Place the centre of the device’s back on the centre of the wireless charger to charge the battery. After fully charging, disconnect the device from the wireless charger.

The estimated charging time will appear on the notification panel. The actual charging time assumes that the device is not in use, and it may vary depending on the charging conditions. Wireless charging may not work smoothly depending on the type of accessory or cover. For stable wireless charging, it is recommended to separate the cover or accessory from the device.

Adjust the devices into the correct position as shown in the image to ensure that their connection is good. Otherwise, the device may not charge properly or may overheat.

Precautions for wireless charging

If you do not follow the precautions, the device may not charge properly or may overheat, or the device and any cards may be damaged.

•

Do not place the device on the wireless charger with a credit card or radio-frequency identification (RFID) card (such as a transportation card or a key card) placed between the back of the device and the device cover.

•

Do not place the device on the wireless charger when conductive materials, such as metal objects and magnets, are placed between the device and the wireless charger.

•

If you use the wireless charger in areas with weak network signals, you may lose network reception.

•

Use Samsung-approved wireless chargers. If you use other wireless chargers, the battery may not charge properly.

Quick charging

Use a super fast charger or fast charger. To use the fast wireless charging feature, use a charger and components that support the feature.

You can check the connection status of the charger by opening

4 When you are finished charging, disconnect the other device from your phone.

Do not use headphones while sharing power. Doing so may affect nearby devices.

•

Your phone includes magnets. The location of the wireless charging coil may differ depending on the device. Adjust the position of the devices correctly as shown in the image to ensure that their connection is good. Otherwise, the device may slide because of its slope or the magnetic force.

•

Some features are not available while sharing power.

•

Only devices that support the wireless charging feature can be charged using this feature. Some devices may not be charged. To check out devices that support the Wireless power sharing feature, visit the Samsung website.

•

To charge properly, do not move or use either device while charging.

•

The power charged to the other device may be less than the amount shared to it by your phone.

•

If you charge the other device while charging your phone, the charging speed may decrease or the device may not charge properly depending on the charger type.

•

The charging speed or efficiency may vary depending on the phone’s condition or the surrounding environment.

Battery charging tips and precautions

Use only Samsung-approved battery, charger, and cable specifically designed for your device. Incompatible battery, charger, and cable can cause serious injuries or damage to your device.

•

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

•

Use only USB Type-C cable supplied with the device. The device may be damaged if you use Micro USB cable.

•

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.

Getting started

•

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.

•

When using a charger, it is recommended to use an approved charger that guarantees the charging performance.

•

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.

•

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.

•

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

•

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

•

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

•

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.

•

If the device is not charging properly, take the device and the charger to a Samsung Service Centre or an authorised service centre.

•

eSIM may not be available depending on the region, carrier, or model.

•

Some services that require a network connection may not be available depending on the carrier.

•

Ensure that the ejection pin is perpendicular to the hole. Otherwise, the device may be damaged.

•

If the card is not fixed firmly into the tray, the SIM card may leave or fall out of the tray.

•

If you insert the tray into your device while the tray is wet, your device may be damaged. Always make sure the tray is dry.

The preview screen may vary depending on the shooting mode and which camera is being used.

•

The focus may not be clear if the subject is close. Take pictures or videos from a good distance.

•

If pictures you take appear blurry, clean the camera lens and try again.

•

Make sure that the lens is not damaged or contaminated. Otherwise, the device may not work properly in some modes that require high resolutions.

•

Your device’s camera features a wide-angle lens. Minor distortion may occur in wide-angle pictures or videos and does not indicate device performance problems.

•

The camera may fog up or form condensation if the device is exposed to sudden changes in air temperature, because of the difference in temperature outside and inside the camera cover. Try to avoid such conditions when planning to use the camera. If fogging does occur, allow the camera to dry naturally at room temperature before taking pictures or recording videos, otherwise results may look blurry.
