CAUTIONThe charging head for plugging the USB cable into a wall outlet is not
included. Use only Samsung charging devices rated with an output voltage of 5v
and an output current of over 150mA (sold separately). Samsung accessories are
designed for your device to maximize battery life. Using other accessories may
void your warranty and may cause damage.
NOTEPrevent the USB charger port and the small end of the charger cable from
coming into contact with conductive materials, such as liquids, dust, metal
powders, and pencil leads.
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.
Remove the device from the charger and wait for the device to cool down. For more
information, visit https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00076952.
NOTEDo not disassemble, modify, or repair your device. Placing objects, such as
magnetic stripe cards, including credit cards, phone cards, passbooks, and

NOTEWireless power sharing works with most Qi-Certified devices. Requires
minimum 30% battery to share. Speed and power efficiency of charge varies by
device. May not work with some accessories, covers, or other manufacturer’s
devices. If you have trouble connecting or charging is slow, remove any cover
from each device.
For best results when using Wireless power sharing, please note:
•Remove any accessories or cover before using the feature. Depending on the
type of accessory or cover, Wireless power sharing may not work properly.
•The location of the wireless charging coil may vary by device, so you may need
to adjust the placement to make a connection. When charging starts, a
notification or vibration will occur, so the notification will help you know you've
made a connection. During charging, do not move or use either device.
•Call reception or data services may be affected, depending on your network
environment.
•Charging speed or efficiency can vary depending on device condition or
surrounding environment.
•Do not use headphones.
