Maintaining Water and Dust
Resistance

The battery comes partially charged. A fully
discharged battery requires up to four hours of
charge time. You can use the device while charging.

This device is rated IP67 using the Ingress
Protection rating system.

Your device has been tested in a controlled
environment and shown to be water and dust
resistant in certain circumstances (meets
requirements of classification IP67 as described by
the international standard IEC 60529 - Degrees of
Protection provided by Enclosures [IP Code]; test
conditions: 15-35°C, 86-106 kPa, 1.0 meters, for 30
minutes). Despite this classification, your device is
not impervious to water damage in any situation. It is
important that all compartments are closed tightly.

Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the
device.

Whenever your device gets wet, dry it thoroughly

•

with a clean, soft cloth.

Do not expose the device to salt water or ionized

•

water, or to water over 1.0 meters deep for more
than 30 minutes. If your device is exposed to
fresh water, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft
cloth. If the device is exposed to any liquid other
than fresh water, rinse the device with fresh water
immediately and dry it thoroughly with a clean,
soft cloth. Failure to rinse the device in fresh water
and dry it as instructed may cause the device to
suffer from operability or cosmetic issues.

Note: It is recommended you fully charge the battery
before using your device for the first time.

Caution: Use only charging devices and batteries
that are approved by Samsung. Samsung accessories
are designed for your device to maximize battery life.
Using other accessories may invalidate your warranty
and may cause damage.

Note: You should dry the inside of the charging port
before inserting a power connector to charge your
device. If the charging port is not fully dry, your device
may operate abnormally. For example, it may charge
more slowly or overheat.

1. Insert the USB cable into the port.

Do not expose the device to water at high

•

pressure.

If the device is dropped or receives an impact,

•

the water and dust resistant features of the device
may be damaged.

The touchscreen and other features may not work

•

properly if the device is used in water or in other
liquids. [040616]

Charge the Battery

Your device is powered by a rechargeable, standard
Li-Ion battery. A USB charger (charging head and
USB cable) is included with the device for charging
the battery from any standard outlet.

2. Connect the USB cable to the charging head,
and then plug the charging head into a standard
outlet.

3. Unplug the charging head from the outlet and
remove the USB cable from the device when
charging is complete.

Caution: Failure to unplug the wall charger before you
remove the battery can cause damage to the device.

Getting Started Assemble Your Device

When to Charge the Battery

When the battery is low and only a few minutes of
operation remain, the device sounds a warning tone
at regular intervals.

In this condition, your device conserves its
remaining battery power by dimming the screen.

When the battery level becomes too low, the device
automatically turns off.

For a quick check of your battery level:

► View the battery charge indicator located in the

top right corner of your device’s display. A solid
color indicates a full charge. (

You can also choose to display a percentage
value. Viewing a percentage value can provide
a better idea of the remaining charge on the
battery. For more information, see Battery.
