SAMSUNG GALAXY S25 ULTRA (03) PDF Document

Your SAMSUNG GALAXY S25 ULTRA is rated IP68, meaning it is dust-tight and tested for submersion in up to 5 feet of fresh water for up to 30 minutes. To maintain these features and fulfill warranty obligations, follow these suggestions:

General Care:

• Ensure the SIM card tray openings are free of dust and water, and the tray is securely inserted before any exposure to liquids.

• Keep all compartments or ports that can be opened sealed or closed tightly.

• The device is not impervious to dust and water damage in any situation.

After Exposure to Liquids:

• If your device is exposed to liquids other than fresh water (like saltwater), rinse it with fresh water, dry it with a clean, soft cloth, and shake it to remove any excess water.

• If the device has been immersed in water or the microphone or speaker is wet, sound may not be heard clearly during a call. Allow the device to dry thoroughly before attempting to charge.

Physical Damage:

• 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.

Cleaning and Handling:

• If your device is exposed to dust, wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove buildup.

• Do not put your device into a washer or dryer.

• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean your device.

• Do not place any paint or painting materials (liquids) onto the device.

• Do not expose the device to water at high pressure.
