Device overheating situations and solutions
When the device heats up while charging the battery
While charging, the device and the charger may become hot. During wireless
charging or fast charging, the device may feel hotter to the touch. This does
not affect the device’s lifespan or performance and is in the device’s normal
range of operation. If the battery becomes too hot, the charger may stop
charging.
Do the following when the device heats up:
· Disconnect the charger from the device and close any running apps. Wait for
the device to cool down and then begin charging the device again.
· If the lower part of the device overheats, it could be because the connected
USB cable is damaged. Replace the damaged USB cable with a new Samsung-
approved one.
· When using a wireless charger, do not place foreign materials, such as metal
objects, magnets, and magnetic stripe cards, between the device and the
wireless charger.
The wireless charging or fast charging feature is only available on supported
models.
When the device heats up during use
When you use features or apps that require more power or use them for extended
periods, your device may temporarily heat up due to increased battery
consumption. Close any running apps and do not use the device for a while. The
following are examples of situations in which the device may overheat.
Depending on the functions and apps you use, these examples may not apply to
your model.
· During the initial setup after purchase or when restoring data · When
downloading large files

Precautions for device overheating
If you begin to feel uncomfortable due to the device overheating, stop using
the device. When the device heats up, the features and performance may be
limited or the device may turn off to cool down. The feature is only available
on supported models.
· If the device overheats and reaches a certain temperature, a warning message
will appear to prevent device failure, skin irritations and damages, and
battery leakage. To lower the device’s temperature, the screen brightness and
the performance speed will be limited and battery charging will stop. Running
apps will be closed and all calling and other features will be limited, except
for emergency calls, until the device cools down.
· If the second message appears due to a further increase of the device’s
temperature, the device will turn off. Do not use the device until the
device’s temperature drops below the specified level. If the second warning
message appears during an emergency call, the call will not be disconnected by
a forced shut down.
Precautions for operating environment
Your device may heat up due to the environment in the following conditions.
Use caution to avoid shortening the battery’s lifespan, damaging the device,
or causing a fire.
· Do not store your device in very cold or very hot temperatures. · Do not
expose your device to direct sunlight for extended periods. · Do not use or
store your device for extended periods in very hot areas, such as inside a
car in the summertime. · Do not place the device in any areas that may
overheat, such as on an electric heating
mat. · Do not store your device near or in heaters, microwaves, hot cooking
equipment, or high
pressure containers. · Do not use a cable whose covering is peeled off or
damaged, and do not use any charger
or battery that is damaged or malfunctioning.

The device and some accessories (sold separately) contain magnets. The
American Heart Association (US) and the Medicines and Healthcare Products
Regulatory Agency (UK) both warn that magnets can affect the operation of
implanted pacemakers, cardioverters, defibrillators, insulin pumps or other
electro medical devices (collectively, “Medical Device”) within the range of
15 cm (6 inches). If you are a user of any of these Medical Devices, DO NOT
USE THIS DEVICE AND SOME ACCESSORIES (SOLD SEPARATELY) UNLESS YOU HAVE

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

Battery
Charging the battery
Charge the battery before using it for the first time or when it has been
unused for extended periods.
Use only Samsung-approved battery, charger, and cable specifically designed
for your device. Incompatible battery, charger, and cable can cause serious
injuries or damage to your device. · Connecting the charger improperly may
cause serious damage to the device. Any
damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty. · Use only USB Type-C
cable supplied with the device. The device may be damaged
if you use Micro USB cable. To save energy, unplug the charger when not in
use. The charger does not have a power switch, so you must unplug the charger
from the electric socket when not in use to avoid wasting power. The charger
should remain close to the electric socket and easily accessible while
charging.
1 Connect the USB cable to the USB power adaptor. 2 Plug the USB cable into
the device’s multipurpose jack.

· When the battery power is low, the battery icon appears empty. · If the
battery is completely discharged, the device cannot be turned on immediately
when the charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few
minutes before turning on the device. · If you use multiple apps at once,
network apps, or apps that need a connection to another device, the battery
will drain quickly. To avoid losing power during a data transfer, always use
these apps after fully charging the battery. · Using a power source other than
the charger, such as a computer, may result in a slower charging speed due to
a lower electric current. · The device can be used while it is charging, but
it may take longer to fully charge the battery.
16
https://tm.by – TM.by
Basics
· If the device receives an unstable power supply while charging, the
touchscreen may not function. If this happens, unplug the charger from the
device.
· While charging, the device and the charger may heat up. This is normal and
should not affect the device’s lifespan or performance. If the battery gets
hotter than usual, the charger may stop charging. If this occurs during
wireless charging, disconnect the device from the charger to let it cool down,
then charge the device again later.
· If you charge the device while the multipurpose jack is wet, the device may
be damaged. Thoroughly dry the multipurpose jack before charging the device.
· If the device is not charging properly, take the device and the charger to a
Samsung Service Centre.
Fast charging
The device has a built-in fast charging feature. You can charge the battery
more quickly while the device or its screen is turned off.
Increasing the charging speed
To increase the charging speed, turn the device or its screen off when you
charge the battery. If the fast charging feature is not activated, launch the
Settings app, tap Device care Battery Charging, and then tap the Fast charging
switch to activate it.
· While charging, you cannot activate or deactivate this feature. · You cannot
use the built-in fast charging feature when you charge the battery
using a standard battery charger. · If the device heats up or the ambient air
temperature rises, the charging speed may
decrease automatically. This is a normal operating condition to prevent damage
to the device.
