•
When using the speakers, such as when playing media files or using
speakerphone, do not place 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 Samsung Service
Centre or an authorised service centre.
•
If dust or foreign materials enter the microphone, speaker, or receiver, the
device’s sound may become quiet or certain features may not work. If you
attempt to remove the dust or foreign materials with a sharp object, the device
may be damaged and its appearance may be affected.
