Device overheating situations and solutions

When the device heats up while charging the battery

While charging, the device and the charger may become hot. During wireless charging or fast charging, the device may feel hotter to the touch. This does not affect the device’s lifespan or performance and is in the device’s normal range of operation. If the battery becomes too hot, the charger may stop charging.

Do the following when the device heats up:

r Disconnect the charger from the device and close any running apps. Wait for the device to cool down and then begin charging the device again.

r If the lower part of the device overheats, it could be because the connected USB cable is damaged. Replace the damaged USB cable with a new Samsung-approved one.

r When using a wireless charger, do not place foreign materials, such as metal objects, magnets, and magnetic stripe cards, between the device and the wireless charger.

The wireless charging or fast charging feature is only available on supported models.

When the device heats up during use

When you use features or apps that require more power or use them for extended periods, your device may temporarily heat up due to increased battery consumption. Close any running apps and do not use the device for a while.

The following are examples of situations in which the device may overheat. Depending on the functions and apps you use, these examples may not apply to your model.

r During the initial setup after purchase or when restoring data r When downloading large files

Battery charging tips and precautions

r When the battery power is low, the battery icon appears empty.

r 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.

r 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.

r Using a power source other than the charger, such as a computer, may result in a slower charging speed due to a lower electric current.

r The device can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge the battery.

r If the device receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touchscreen may not function. If this happens, unplug the charger from the device.

r 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.

r 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.

r If the device is not charging properly, take the device and the charger to a Samsung

Service Centre.
