as well as use the product in a place with water such as a
kitchen.
Before using the product, thoroughly read "Important items to

sections may cause the intrusion of water, sand or other
foreign material, resulting in overheating, ignition, electric
shock, injury or a fault.

even if it is sprayed with water from a 6.3 mm diameter nozzle at a distance
of about 3 meters for more than 3 minutes at a rate of about 12.5 liters per
minute from any direction.
*2 IPX7 equivalent means that the product will maintain its operability as a phone
with no water getting inside the main unit even if it is gently submerged in a
tank of still tap water at room temperature to a depth of 1 meter for about 30
minutes.

no grit and dust getting inside the main unit even after it has been placed in an
apparatus with grit and dust of diameters of 75 μm or less and shaken for 8
hours.
Since operation of the product on each usage scene was
confirmed based on the above assumption, proper operation
of the product in every possible condition during actual use
is not guaranteed.

the customer are not covered by the warranty.
Important items to remember before use
● Be sure to tightly close the microUSB connection terminal cover
and securely attach the back cover.
• Waterproofness/dustproofness is only effective when the covers
*1
are securely closed.
• Just a small particle (a hair, one grain of sand, etc.) between
contact surfaces can cause water leak.
• Do not open/close the microUSB connection terminal cover or
back cover if the main unit or your hands are wet. When the water
is in the headset connection terminal, do not insert Samsung
1Seg antenna 01, Stereo Headset with Microphone (sample),
etc.

After stowing the cover hinge, press the whole cover evenly with
the flat part of your finger. Ensure that the cover is not partially
