•
Do not cover the antenna area with your hands or other objects. This may cause
connectivity problems or drain the battery.
•
Using a Samsung-approved screen protector is recommended. Unapproved screen
protectors may cause the sensors to malfunction.
Maintaining water and dust resistance
The device may be damaged if water or dust enters the device. Follow these tips carefully to
prevent damage to the device and to maintain the water- and dust-resistant performance of
the device.
•
Do not immerse the device in water deeper than 1 m and keep it submerged for more
than 30 minutes.
•
Ensure that the back and multipurpose jack covers are tightly closed. Otherwise, they
may not provide protection from water and dust.
•
Do not immerse the device in water for extended periods.
•
Do not expose the device to water moving with force, such as water running from a tap,
ocean waves, or waterfalls.
•
Do not open the device’s covers when the device is in water or in very humid places, such
as swimming pools or bathrooms.
•
Do not open the back cover using wet hands or when the device is wet.
•
The rubber seal fitted to the back cover is an important component of the device. Take
care when opening and closing the back cover to avoid damaging the rubber seal. Also,
ensure that the rubber seal is free from debris, such as sand or dust to prevent damage to
the device.
•
Do not detach or remove the multipurpose jack cover from the device.
•
If the device is exposed to freshwater, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If the
device is exposed to any liquid other than freshwater, rinse the device with freshwater
immediately and dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Failure to rinse the device
in freshwater and dry it as instructed may cause the device to suffer from operability
or cosmetic issues.
•
The back and multipurpose jack covers may be loosened if the device is dropped or
receives an impact. Ensure that all the covers are properly aligned and tightly closed.
Getting started
10
•
If the device has been immersed in water or the microphone or the speaker is wet,
sound may not be heard clearly during a call. Ensure that the microphone or the speaker
is clean and dry by wiping it with a dry cloth.
•
The water-resistant design of the device causes it to vibrate slightly in certain conditions.
Vibrations in these conditions, such as when the volume level is high are normal and do
not affect the device’s performance.
•
The touch screen and other features may not work properly if the device is used in water
or in other liquids.
•
Your device has been tested in a controlled environment and certified to be water-
and dust-resistant in specific situations (meets requirements of classification IP67 as
described by the international standard IEC 60529 - Degrees of Protection provided
by Enclosures [IP Code]; test conditions: 15 - 35 °C, 86 - 106 kPa, 1 metre, 30 minutes).
Despite this classification, your device is not impervious to water damage in any
situation.

Using the coaching feature while exercising in running mode

About the coaching feature
The coaching feature includes Firstbeat technology to provide personalised exercise
guidance. Firstbeat uses Training Effect (TE) analysis that measures the accumulated physical
load during a workout and assesses the impact on your fitness. TE levels are based on your
physical profile and the heart rate information recorded while you work out. Your TE level
increases when you perform effective exercise and the coaching feature uses the TE to
provide you with feedback.
The feedback is provided by the feature via prompts, such as ‘speed up’, ‘keep up this
pace’, and ‘slow down’. When you first start to use the coaching feature, it will estimate an
appropriate TE level based on your profile. As you exercise, it will analyse your training history
and provide more personalised guidance. A typical workout may start at a lower intensity and
sharply increase in intensity towards the end.
Visit www.firstbeat.fi/te for more information.
While exercising, the heart rate monitor may not work properly if the device is
exposed to excessive sweat or its position is changed.
