How do I set up my device for the first time?
To set up your device, follow these steps:
Charge your device: Before turning on your device, charge it fully.
Install SIM: Your device uses a nano-SIM card. Place the SIM card into the tray with the gold contacts facing up. The device is also compatible with an eSIM.
How do I maintain the water and dust resistance of my device?
Your device is IP68 rated for dust and water resistance. To maintain these features, follow these tips carefully:
• Make sure that the SIM card tray openings are maintained free of dust and water, and the tray is securely inserted prior to any exposure to liquids.
• The device is not impervious to dust and water damage in any situation. It is important that all compartments are closed tightly.
• To avoid electric shock and damage, do not charge the device while it is wet or in an area where it could get wet. Do not handle the device, charger, or cords with wet hands while charging.
• Water resistance is based on an IP68 rating, which tests submersion in fresh water deeper than 1.5 meters or for more than 30 minutes. If your device is exposed to fresh water, shake it to remove any excess water and dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
• If your device is exposed to liquids other than fresh water (such as saltwater), rinse your device with fresh water, dry it with a clean, soft cloth, and shake it to remove any excess water.
• Any device which uses accessible compartments or ports that can be opened should have these sealed or closed tightly to prevent liquid from entering the system.
• If the device has been immersed in water or the microphone or speaker is wet, sound may not be heard clearly during a call.
• 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 may be affected. If you suspect damage, take it to a Samsung-authorized service center for inspection.
How do I charge the battery?
