•  

When using the speakers, such as when playing media files or using speakerphone, 
do not place the device close to your ears.

•  

Be careful not to expose the camera lens to a strong light source, such as direct 
sunlight. If the camera lens is exposed to a strong light source, such as direct 
sunlight, the camera image sensor may be damaged. A damaged image sensor is 
irreparable and will cause dots or spots in pictures.

•  

If you use the device with its glass or acrylic body broken, there may be a risk of 
injury. Use the device only after it has been repaired at a Samsung Service Centre.

•  

Connectivity problems and battery drain may occur in the following situations:

 

If you attach metallic stickers on the antenna area of the device

 

If you attach a device cover made with metallic material to the device

 

If you cover the device’s antenna area with your hands or other objects while 
using certain features, such as calls or the mobile data connection

•  

Using a Samsung-approved screen protector is recommended. Unapproved screen 
protectors may cause the sensors to malfunction.

•  

Do not cover the proximity/light sensor area with screen accessories, such 
as a screen protector, stickers, or a cover. Doing so may cause the sensor to 
malfunction.

•  

Do not allow water to contact the touchscreen. The touchscreen may malfunction 
in humid conditions or when exposed to water.

•  

The colours on the Edge screen may look different depending on your viewing 
position.
