Maintaining water and dust resistance
Your device supports water- and dust-resistance. Follow these tips carefully to maintain the
water- and dust-resistance of your device. Failure to do so may result in damage to your
device.
•
Do not immerse the device in water deeper than 1.5 m or keep it submerged for more
than 30 minutes.
•
Do not expose the device to water moving with force.
•
If the device is exposed to clean water, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If the
device is exposed to other liquids, such as salt water, ionised water, or alcoholic beverage,
rinse it with clean water and dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If you do not follow
these instructions, the device’s performance and appearance may be affected.
•
If the device has been immersed in water or the microphone or speaker is wet,
sound may not be heard clearly during a call. Wipe the device with a dry cloth or dry it
thoroughly before using it.
•
The touchscreen and other features may not work properly if the device is used in water.
•
Your device has been tested in a controlled environment and certified to be waterand dust-resistant in specific situations (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, 1.5 metre, 30 minutes).
Despite this classification, it is still possible for your device to be damaged in certain
situations.

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.
Connect the USB cable to the USB power adaptor, and plug the USB cable into the
1
device’s multipurpose jack.
Plug the USB power adaptor into an electric socket.
