Maintaining Water and Dust
Resistance
This device is rated IP67 using the Ingress Protection
rating system.
Your device has been tested in a controlled
environment and shown to be water and dust resistant
in certain circumstances (meets requirements of
classification IP67 as described by 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.
Note: If any liquid is found to have entered your device
components or an internally sealed system, this
condition will void your device warranty.
Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the
device.
•
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.
Legal vi
•
Whenever your device gets wet, dry it thoroughly
with a clean, soft cloth. If your device has gotten
wet, 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.
•
Do not expose the device to salt water or ionized
water, or to water over1.0 meters deep for more
than 30 minutes. If your device is exposed to fresh
water, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If
the device is exposed to any liquid other than fresh
water, rinse the device with fresh water 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.
•
To maintain the water‑resistant and dust‑resistant
features of your device, if an S Pen is available
for use, verify it is securely inserted prior to any
exposure to liquids.
•
The touchscreen and other features may not work
properly if the device is used in water or in other
liquids. [110116]
