Getting Started Assemble Your Device

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.
