Caution: Use only charging devices that are approved
by Samsung. Samsung accessories are designed for
your device to maximize battery life. Using other
accessories may void your warranty and may cause
damage.
While charging, the device and the charger may
become hot. This does not affect the device’s
lifespan or performance and is in the device’s normal
range of operation.
The charger may stop charging if the battery
becomes too hot.
If the device heats up while charging the battery:
1. Disconnect the charger from the device and close
any running apps.
2. Wait for the device to cool down and then begin
charging the device again.
Note: Prevent the USB charger port and the small
end of the charger from coming into contact with
conductive materials, such as liquids, dust, metal
powders, and pencil leads.
