Here are some dust and water-resistance tips for Galaxy users
Samsung devices may be damaged if water or dust enters the device. For devices with an IP68 rating, follow these tips to prevent damage to your device and to help maintain the water and dust resistant performance:
• Do not immerse the device in water deeper than 1.5 metres and do not keep it submerged in water less than 1.5 metres deep for more than 30 minutes.
• Do not expose the device to water moving with force, such as water running from a tap, ocean waves, or waterfalls.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, gently rinse it with still fresh water immediately and dry it thoroughly with a clean soft cloth. Failure to gently rinse it in still fresh water and dry it as instructed may cause it to suffer from operability or cosmetic issues.
• If the device is dropped or receives an impact, the water and dust- resistant features may be damaged.
• The touch screen and other features may not work properly while the device is in water.
