Maintaining water resistance
Your device is water resistant and meets the following international standards.
•
IPX8 water resistance rating certification: According to the requirements of the
IEC 60529 standard, it was tested in 15-35 °C, 86-106 kPa, 1.5 m fresh water for
30 minutes without moving.
You must follow the guidelines to maintain the water resistance of your device.
•
Do not expose the device to swimming pool water or sea water.
•
If the device is exposed to unclean water or other liquids, such as soapy water, oil,
perfume, sunscreen, hand cleaner, chemical products such as cosmetics, or liquids
that include the alcohol, clean the device with fresh water that does not flow, wipe
it with a soft and clean cloth, and then dry it thoroughly before use to maintain the
water resistance.
•
Do not expose the device to water moving with force. A sudden rise in the water
pressure may exceed the guaranteed level of water resistance.
•
In places, such as a sauna or steam room, the water-resistant performance may be
damaged because of sudden changes in the temperature.
•
If the device is subjected to an external shock or is damaged, its water resistance
may decrease.
If the device is exposed to water, follow the guidelines:
•
Wipe the device with a soft and clean cloth, and then dry it thoroughly.
•
If the microphone or speaker is not completely dry, it may result in the sound not
being clear during a call.
•
The touch screen and other features may not work properly if the device is used in
water.
•
Do not connect the charger or any accessories until the device is completely dry.
The device can be damaged if an accessory or charger is connected when the
multipurpose jack is not yet dry.
The water resistance of your Samsung Galaxy device is not permanent and may diminish
over time because of normal wear and tear.
