Your device is water resistant and meets the following international standards.

• IPX8 water resistance rating certification: According to the requirements of the IEC 60529 standard, it was tested in 15-35 °C, 86-106 kPa, 1.5 m fresh water for 30 minutes without moving.

You must follow the guidelines to maintain the water resistance of your device.

• Do not expose the device to swimming pool water or sea water.
• If the device is exposed to unclean water or other liquids, such as soapy water, oil, perfume, sunscreen, hand cleaner, chemical products such as cosmetics, or liquids that include the alcohol, clean the device with fresh water that does not flow, wipe it with a soft and clean cloth, and then dry it thoroughly before use to maintain the water resistance.
• Do not expose the device to water moving with force. A sudden rise in the water pressure may exceed the guaranteed level of water resistance.
• In places, such as a sauna or steam room, the water-resistant performance may be damaged because of sudden changes in the temperature.
• If the device is subjected to an external shock or is damaged, its water resistance may decrease.

If the device is exposed to water, follow the guidelines:

• Wipe the device with a soft and clean cloth, and then dry it thoroughly.
• If the microphone or speaker is not completely dry, it may result in the sound not being clear during a call.
• The touch screen and other features may not work properly if the device is used in water.
• Do not connect the charger or any accessories until the device is completely dry. The device can be damaged if an accessory or charger is connected when the multipurpose jack is not yet dry.

The water resistance of your Samsung Galaxy device is not permanent and may diminish over time because of normal wear and tear.

While charging, the device and the charger may become hot. During wireless charging or fast charging, the device may feel hotter to the touch. This does not affect the device’s lifespan or performance and is in the device’s normal range of operation. If the battery becomes too hot, the charging speed may decrease or the charger may stop charging.

Do the following when the device heats up:

• Disconnect the charger from the device and close any running apps. Wait for the device to cool down and then begin charging the device again.
• If the lower part of the device overheats, it could be because the connected USB cable is damaged. Replace the damaged USB cable with a new Samsung-approved one.
• When using a wireless charger, do not place foreign materials, such as metal objects, magnets, and magnetic stripe cards, between the device and the wireless charger.

The wireless charging or fast charging feature is only available on supported models.

If you begin to feel uncomfortable because of the device overheating, stop using the device.

When the device heats up, the features and performance may be limited or the device may turn off to cool down. The feature is only available on supported models.

• If the device overheats, the screen brightness, the screen refresh rate, and the performance speed will be limited to lower the device’s temperature. Even if the battery charging indicator icon appears, charging may be slow. When charging stops because of a rise in the device’s temperature, the battery indicator icon will blink.
• If the device reaches a certain temperature, a warning message will appear to prevent device failure, skin irritation and damage, and battery leakage. Running apps will be closed and all calling and other features will be limited, except for emergency calls, until the device cools down.
• If the second message appears because of a further increase of the device’s temperature, the device will turn off. Do not use the device until the device’s temperature is within the recommended operating temperature range. If the second warning message appears during an emergency call, the call will not be disconnected by a forced termination.

Recommended operating temperature range

The device’s recommended operating temperature is between 0 °C to 35 °C. Using the device outside of the recommended temperature range may damage the device or reduce the battery’s lifespan.
