CAUTIONThe charging head for plugging the USB cable into a wall outlet is not
included. Use only Samsung charging devices rated with an output voltage of 5v
and an output current of over 150mA (sold separately). Samsung accessories are
designed for your device to maximize battery life. Using other accessories may
cause damage, and damage may not be covered by warranty.
While charging, the device and the charger may become hot. This does not affect the
device’s lifespan or performance and is in the device’s normal range of operation.
Remove the device from the charger and wait for the device to cool down. For more
information, visit https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00076952.
NOTEDo not disassemble, modify, or repair your device. Placing objects, such as
magnetic stripe cards, including credit cards, phone cards, passbooks, and
boarding passes, next to the device or charger may cause damage from the
charger or device’s magnetic field.
Maintaining water and dust resistance
CAUTIONTo avoid electric shock and damage to your device, do not charge
device while it is wet or in an area where it could get wet. Do not handle device,
charger or cords with wet hands while charging.
The device is not impervious to dust and water damage in any situation. It is important
that all compartments are closed tightly.
Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the device and maintain dust and
water resistance performance:
Water resistant based on IPX7 rating, which means submersion in up to 1 meter of
fresh water for up to 30 minutes based on international standard ISO 60529. Not
advised for beach or pool use. Charging case is not water resistant. If the earbuds are
damaged, they are not guaranteed to be water resistant. If the earbuds or your
hands are wet, they must be dried thoroughly prior to handling.
