Getting started

•

Use the device in a place without magnetic interference for the device to operate

normally.

•

Your device and some accessories (sold separately) contain magnets. Keep

it away from credit cards, implanted medical devices, and other devices that

may be affected by magnets. In the case of medical devices, keep your device

more than 15 cm apart. Stop using your device if you suspect any interference

with your medical device and consult your physician oryour medical device

manufacturer.

•

Keep a safe distance between objects that are affected by magnets, and your

device and some accessories (sold separately) that contain magnets. Objects

such as credit cards, passbooks, access cards, boarding passes, or parking passes

may be damaged or disabled by the magnets in the device.

•

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

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, 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 or an authorized service centre.

•

If dust or foreign materials enter the microphone, speaker, or receiver, or if these

parts are covered, 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

‒

‒

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

•

Battery charging tips and precautions

Use only Samsung-approved battery, charger, and cable specifically designed for

your device. An incompatible battery, charger, or 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 a 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 charger that

guarantees the charging performance.

•

If the battery is completely discharged, the device cannot be turned on

immediately after 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 because of 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 touch screen

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 or an authorized service centre.
