Battery charging tips and precautions
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
When using a charger, it is recommended to use an approved charger that
guarantees the charging performance.
•
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 because of a lower electric current.
•
The device can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge
the battery.
•
If the device receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touch screen
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 the device is not charging properly, take the device and the charger to a
Samsung Service Centre or an authorised service centre.

nano-SIM card and the eSIM may result in slower data transfer speeds in some areas.
•
eSIM may not be available depending on the region, carrier, or model.
•
Some services that require a network connection may not be available
depending on the carrier.

Your device could be unlocked by someone or something that looks like your image.
•
Face recognition is less secure than Pattern, PIN, or Password.
For better face recognition
Consider the following when using face recognition:
•
Consider the conditions when registering, such as wearing glasses, hats, masks,
beards, or heavy makeup
•
Ensure that you are in a well-lit area and that the camera lens is clean when
registering
•
Ensure your image is not blurry for better match results

Fingerprint recognition
In order for fingerprint recognition to function, your fingerprint information needs to be
registered and stored in your device.
•
This feature may not be available depending on the carrier or model.
•
Fingerprint recognition uses the unique characteristics of each fingerprint to
enhance the security of your device. The likelihood of the fingerprint sensor
confusing two different fingerprints is very low. However, in rare cases where
separate fingerprints are very similar the sensor may recognise them as
identical.
•
Thick or coloured protective film can affect performance. If you use a screen
protector, check to make sure it’s labeled as compatible with the on-screen
fingerprint sensor. (such as screen protectors sold by Samsung)
•
If you use your fingerprint as a screen lock method, your fingerprint cannot be
used to unlock the screen for the first time after turning on the device. To use the
device, you must unlock the screen using the pattern, PIN, or password you set
when registering the fingerprint. Be careful not to forget your pattern, PIN, or
password.
•
If your fingerprint is not recognised, unlock the device using the pattern, PIN,
or password you set when registering the fingerprint, and then re-register your
fingerprints. If your pattern, PIN, or password is forgotten, you will not be able to
use the device if you do not reset it. Samsung is not responsible for any data loss
or inconvenience caused by forgotten unlock codes.
•
If you change the screen lock method to
Swipe
or
None
, which are not secure, all
of your biometric data will be deleted.
Settings

For better fingerprint recognition
When you scan your fingerprints on the device, be aware of the following conditions that
may affect the feature’s performance:
•
The device may not recognise fingerprints that are affected by wrinkles or scars.
•
The device may not recognise fingerprints from small or thin fingers.
•
To improve recognition performance, register the fingerprints of the fingers used
most often to perform tasks on the device.
•
Your device has a built-in fingerprint recognition sensor at the screen. Ensure that
the screen protector or the touch screen on the fingerprint recognition sensor area is
not scratched or damaged by objects, such as coins, keys, pens, and necklaces.
•
Ensure that the fingerprint recognition sensor area and your fingers are clean and
dry.
•
If you bend your finger or use a fingertip, the device may not recognise your
fingerprints. Press the screen so that your fingertip spreads over the wide surface of
the fingerprint recognition area.
