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 and keep it submerged for more
than 30 minutes.
•
Do not expose the device to water moving with force, such as running water from taps,
ocean waves, or waterfalls.
•
If the device is exposed to clean water, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If the
device is exposed to other liquids, 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, speaker, or receiver 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 tips and precautions
•
When the battery power is low, the battery icon appears empty.
•
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 due to 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 touchscreen 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 you charge the device while the multipurpose jack is wet, the device may be damaged.
Thoroughly dry the multipurpose jack before charging the device.
•
If the device is not charging properly, take the device and the charger to a Samsung
Service Centre.
