DustResistance
Note: Water-resistant and dustproof based on IP68rating, which tests submersion up to
5.0 feet for up to 30 minutes.
This device is rated IP68 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 IP68 as described by the international standard IEC 60529 - Degrees of Protection provided by Enclosures [IP Code]; test conditions: 15-35°C, 86-106 kPa, 5.0 feet, 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 5.0 feet 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.
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.
The battery comes partially charged. A fully discharged battery requires up to four hours of charge time. You can use the device while charging.
Note: It is recommended you fully charge the battery before using your device for the first time.
Note: For fastest charging times, use the Samsung Adaptive Fast Charger that came with your device. This charger provides faster charging only when connected to devices that support Adaptive FastCharging.
Caution: Use only charging devices and batteries 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.
1. Insert the USB cable into the USB charger/ Accessory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.
2. C
onnect 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.
Note: This device is also compatible with wireless charging devices approved by Samsung, which are soldseparately.
