Battery charging tips and precautions
Use only Samsung-approved battery, charger, and cable specifically designed for your
device. Incompatible battery, charger, and cable can cause serious injuries or damage to
your device.
•
Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any
damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.
•
Use only USB Type-C cable supplied with the device. The device may be damaged if
you use Micro USB cable.
•
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.
•
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.
•
When using a charger, it is recommended to use an approved wired or wireless
charger that guarantees the charging performance.
•
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 the device is not charging properly, take the device and the charger to a Samsung
Service Centre.

Nano-SIM card and eSIM
Insert the SIM or USIM card provided by the mobile telephone service provider.
To have two phone numbers or service providers for a single device, activate the eSIM or
insert two SIM cards. Differing from a physical nano-SIM card, an eSIM is an embedded digital
SIM. Using both the nano-SIM card and the eSIM may result in slower data transfer speeds in
some areas.
•
eSIM may not be available depending on the region, service provider, or model.
•
Some services that require a network connection may not be available depending on
the service provider.

responsible for any damages or inconveniences caused by lost or stolen cards.
•
Ensure that the ejection pin is perpendicular to the hole. Otherwise, the device may
be damaged.
•
If the card is not fixed firmly into the tray, the SIM card may leave or fall out of the
tray.
•
If you insert the tray into your device while the tray is wet, your device may be
damaged. Always make sure the tray is dry.

The focus may not be clear if the subject is close. Take pictures or videos from a good
distance.
•
If pictures you take appear blurry, clean the camera lens and try again.
•
Make sure that the lens is not damaged or contaminated. Otherwise, the device may
not work properly in some modes that require high resolutions.
•
Your device’s camera features a wide-angle lens. Minor distortion may occur in
wide-angle pictures or videos and does not indicate device performance problems.
•
The maximum capacity for recording a video may vary depending on the resolution.
•
The camera may fog up or form condensation if the device is exposed to sudden
changes in air temperature, due to the difference in temperature outside and inside
the camera cover. Try to avoid such conditions when planning to use the camera. If
fogging does occur, allow the camera to dry naturally at room temperature before
taking pictures or recording videos, otherwise results may look blurry.
