Maintaining Water and Dust 
Resistance
This device is rated IP68 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 IP68 as described by the international 
standard IEC 60529 – Degrees of Protection provided 
by Enclosures [IP Code]; test conditions: 15-35°C, 
86-106 kPa, 5.0 feet, for 30 minutes).

Legal 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.
• 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 over 5.0 feet 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]
Restricting Children’s Access to 
Your Mobile Device

play with it because they could hurt themselves and 
others, damage the device, or make calls that increase 
your device bill. Keep the device and all its parts and 
accessories out of the reach of small children.
