Maintaining Water and 
Dust Resistance 
Note : Water-resistant and dustproof based on 
IP68 rating, which tests submersion up to  
5.0 feet for up to 30 minutes. 
T
his device is rated IP68 using the Ingress 
Protection rating system. 
Your device has been tested in a controlled 
environment and shown to be water and dust 
resistant in certain circumstances (meets 
requirements of classi�cation 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, 5.0 feet, for 
30 minutes) . Despite this classi�cation, your device 
is not impervious to water damage in any situation. It 
is important that all compartments are closed tightly. 
Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the 
device. 
• Whenever your device gets wet, dry it thoroughly 
with a clean, soft cloth. 
• Do not expose the device to salt water or ionized 
water, or to water over 5.0 feet deep for more 
than 30 minutes. If your device is exposed to 
fresh water, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft 
cloth. If the device is exposed to any liquid other 
than fresh water, rinse the device with fresh water 
immediately and dry it thoroughly with a clean, 
soft cloth. Failure to rinse the device in fresh water 
and dry it as instructed may cause the device to 
su�er from operability or cosmetic issues. 
• Do not expose the device to water at high 
pressure. 
• If the device is dropped or receives an impact, 
the water and dust resistant features of the device 
may be damaged. 
• The touchscreen and other features may not work 
properly if the device is used in water or in other 
liquids. 
Charge the Battery 
Your device is powered by a rechargeable, standard 
Li-Ion battery. A USB charger (charging head and 
USB cable) is included with the device for charging 
the battery from any standard outlet. 
The battery comes partially charged. A fully 
discharged battery requires up to four hours of 
charge time. You can use the device while charging. 
Note : It is recommended you fully charge the battery 
before using your device for the �rst time. 
Note : For fastest charging times, use the Samsung 
Adaptive Fast Charger that came with your device. 
This charger provides faster charging only when 
connected to devices that support Adaptive 
Fast Charging. 
Caution: Use only charging devices and batteries 
approved by Samsung. Samsung accessories are 
designed for your device to maximize battery life. 
Using other accessories may invalidate your warranty 
and may cause damage. 
1.	  Insert the USB cable into the USB charger/ 
Accessory port. 
2.	 Connect the USB cable to the charging head, 
and then plug the charging head into a standard 
outlet. 
3.	  Unplug the charging head from the outlet and 
remove the USB cable from the device when 
charging is complete. 
Note : This device is also compatible with wireless 
charging devices approved by Samsung, which are 
sold separately.
