the international standard IEC 60529 - Degrees of
Protection provided by Enclosures [IP Code]; test
conditions: 15-35°C, 86-106 kPa, 1.0 meters, for
30minutes). Despite this classification, 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 1.0 meters deep for more
than 30 minutes. If your device is exposed to

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
suffer 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. [040616]

before using your device for the first time.
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.
Note: You should dry the inside of the charging port
before inserting a power connector to charge your
device. If the charging port is not fully dry, your device
may operate abnormally. For example, it may charge
more slowly or overheat.
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.
