When using the speakers, such as when playing media files or using speakerphone,

do not place the device close to your ears.

•

Be careful not to expose the camera lens to a strong light source, such as direct

sunlight. If the camera lens is exposed to a strong light source, such as direct sunlight,

the camera image sensor may be damaged. A damaged image sensor is irreparable

and will cause dots or spots in pictures.

•

If you use the device with its glass or acrylic body broken, there may be a risk of

injury. Use the device only after it has been repaired at a Samsung Service Centre.

•

sound may become quiet or certain features may not work. If you attempt to remove

the dust or foreign materials with a sharp object, the device may be damaged and its

appearance may be affected.

•

Connectivity problems and battery drain may occur in the following situations:

–

If you attach metallic stickers on the antenna area of the device

–

If you attach a device cover made with metallic material to the device

–

If you cover the device’s antenna area with your hands or other objects while

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.

Getting started

•

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.
