to verify your identity when logging in to your Samsung
account.
Warning: Some people may have dizziness, seizures,
epileptic seizures or blackouts triggered by light
flashes or patterns, even if they have never had a
seizure or blackout before. Anyone who has had a
seizure, loss of awareness, or other symptom linked to
an epileptic condition, or has a family history of such
symptoms or conditions, should see a doctor before
using the Iris scanner.
DO NOT stare directly into the infrared iris recognition
LED as prolonged use can cause eye strain. Do not
stare at the iris recognition LED light when your eyes
are less than 20 cm (~8 inches) away from the device,
for best results keep your eyes between 25–35cm
(~10–14inches) away for optimum recognition.
Note: The Iris scanner is not intended to be used as a
medical device and the biometric data collected and
stored locally by the mechanism is not intended to be
used for any diagnostic, therapeutic, or preventative
purposes. Please follow all instructions for use of this
feature.
For best results, remove eyeglasses and sunglasses.
Donot use the Iris scanner in bright sunlight or areas
with excessive reflected light (for example, by the pool
or seashore). Do not use the Iris scanner in low light.
Look straight at the device (not up, down or sideways),
and hold your head still for the scan. Tinted contact
lenses and surgically repaired or replaced iris lenses
may interfere with operation of the Iris scanner. Do not
walk or operate a vehicle while using the Iris scanner.

liver or kidney disease; Arthritis.

your doctor if you have symptoms suggestive of heart,
lung, or other serious disease, such as:
• Pain or discomfort in your chest, neck, jaw, or arms
during physical activity;
• Dizziness or loss of consciousness;
• Shortness of breath with mild exertion or at rest, or
when lying down or going to bed;
• Ankle swelling, especially at night;
• A heart murmur or a rapid or pronounced heartbeat;

Maintaining Water and Dust
Resistance
CAUTION! To avoid electric shock and damage to your
device, do not charge device while it is wet or in an area
where it could get wet. Do not handle device, charger or
cords with wet hands while charging.
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). Despite this
classification, your device is not impervious to water
damage in any situation. It is important that all
compartments are closed tightly.
Legal 211
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.
• Water resistant based on IP68 rating, which tests
submersion in fresh water up to 5 feet for up to 30
minutes. If Device is exposed to fresh water, dry it
thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth; if exposed to
liquid other than fresh water, rinse with fresh water
and dry as directed.
Warning! Liquid other than fresh water may enter the
device faster. 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.
Legal 212
• 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.
