Getting started

•

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 Center.

•

If dust or foreign materials enter the microphone, speaker, or receiver, the device’s

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

using certain features, such as calls or the mobile data connection

•

If the area around the rear camera is covered with accessories, such as a screen

protector or stickers, unwanted noises may occur during calls or media playback.

•

Do not cover the proximity/light sensor area with accessories, such as stickers or a

cover. Doing so may cause the sensor to malfunction.

•

The light may flicker at the top of the device during calls due to proximity sensor

operation.

Getting started

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 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.

•

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 charger that

guarantees the charging performance.

Wired charging

Connect the USB cable to the USB power adaptor and plug the cable into the device’s

multipurpose jack to charge the battery. After fully charging, disconnect the charger from the

device.

Getting started

Wireless charging

The device has a built-in wireless charging coil. You can charge the battery using a wireless

charger (sold separately).

Place the center of the device’s back on the center of the wireless charger to charge the

battery. After fully charging, disconnect the device from the wireless charger.

The estimated charging time will appear on the notification panel. The actual charging time

may vary depending on the charging conditions. Wireless charging may not work smoothly

depending on the type of accessory or cover. For stable wireless charging, it is recommended

to separate the cover or accessory from the device.

Precautions for wireless charging

If you do not follow the precautions below, the device may not charge properly or may

overheat, or the device and any cards may be damaged.

•

Do not place the device on the wireless charger with a credit card or radio-frequency

identification (RFID) card (such as a transportation card or a key card) placed between

the back of the device and the device cover.

•

Do not place the device on the wireless charger when conductive materials, such as

metal objects and magnets, are placed between the device and the wireless charger.

•

If you use the wireless charger in areas with weak network signals, you may lose

network reception.

•

Use Samsung-approved wireless chargers. If you use other wireless chargers, the
