components or parts, especially if they have broken off.
If a child or other person tries to suck on or bite the device, this can lead to water
damage and puncturing of the housing. Damaged batteries can leak caustic and toxic
materials. Do not let the mobile device or battery come in contact with liquids.
Note:
Some water resistant devices (e.g., those rated IP67/IP68) can get wet – please
consult the materials included with your device and your user manual to determine if
your device has an IP rating and a description of the level of water resistance. Even if
your device is water resistant, to avoid electric shock and damage to your device, do
not charge device if it is wet or could be immersed in water, or handle device, charger
or cords while charging if you are wet.
Although the batteries have been properly sealed, liquids can get into the device's
circuits, leading to corrosion. Even when the device appears to be dry and operates
normally, the circuitry could slowly corrode and pose a safety hazard. If exposed to
liquids for a prolonged period of time, this corrosive condition can worsen and pose a
chemical danger to the battery surroundings.
If the device and/or battery get wet, have them checked by your service provider or
contact Samsung, even if they appear to be working properly.
Keep the mobile device dry. Precipitation, sweat, humidity, and liquids contain minerals
that will corrode electronic circuits. If the mobile device does get wet, follow the proper
drying recommendations outlined in your manual and DO NOT accelerate drying with
the use of an oven, microwave, or dryer, because this may damage the mobile device
and could cause a fire or explosion.
Do not turn on your device if it is wet. If it was already wet when on, immediately turn
off your device and dry it with an appropriate towel.
Water damage to your device may void the manufacturer’s warranty. The device
battery comes with an internal liquid indicator that will record if any water has damaged
the battery. Water damage to your device may void the manufacturer’s warranty. Do
not handle the device or components with wet hands.
