1. General Safety Guidelines for Using the Galaxy SmartTag 2

Before using your Galaxy SmartTag 2, review these safety recommendations:

1. Follow default settings: Descriptions and features are based on the product's default configurations. Regional, carrier, or model-specific variations may apply.
2. Respect media licenses: Software, sounds, wallpapers, and other media included with the device are licensed for limited use. Unauthorized commercial use violates copyright laws.
3. Avoid unofficial modifications: Altering the operating system or installing unauthorized software can cause malfunctions, data loss, and void your warranty.
4. Prevent overheating: Do not use the device in hot environments or near open flames.
5. Handle batteries safely: Never swallow, disassemble, or puncture the battery. Ingesting the battery can cause severe internal burns within two hours and may be fatal.
6. Keep away from children: The device contains a button cell battery. Ensure the battery compartment is securely closed. If ingestion is suspected, seek immediate medical attention.
7. Check open-source software licenses: The device includes free/open-source software. License details are available at opensource.samsung.com.
8. Restrict UWB usage: Ultra-wideband (UWB) transmitters must not be used on airplanes or ships.

2. Package Contents and Accessories Notes

Be aware of the following regarding accessories and included items:

1. Regional variations: Supplied items and accessories may differ based on region or carrier.
2. Device-specific design: Accessories are designed exclusively for the Galaxy SmartTag 2 and may not be compatible with other devices.
3. Updates and changes: Appearances and specifications are subject to change without prior notice.
4. Use approved accessories: Only use Samsung-approved accessories to avoid performance issues and warranty exclusions.

3. Maintaining Water Resistance

Your Galaxy SmartTag 2 is water-resistant under IP67 conditions (15–35°C, 86–106 kPa, fresh water, 1 meter/3 feet depth, 30 minutes). Follow these tips to preserve water resistance:

1. Avoid swimming pools and seawater: Exposure to chlorinated or saltwater can degrade water resistance.
2. Prevent high-pressure exposure: Do not subject the device to fast-moving water or sudden pressure changes.
3. Dry thoroughly: After water exposure, wipe the device with a soft, clean cloth and allow it to air dry completely.
4. Rinse with fresh water: If exposed to liquids like soap, oil, perfume, sunscreen, or cosmetics, rinse with non-flowing fresh water, then dry thoroughly.
5. Monitor sound quality: If the speaker becomes wet, audio output may be temporarily affected.

4. Additional Things to Check

- Ensure the battery compartment is securely closed to prevent accidental access by children.

- Verify that the device is not exposed to extreme temperatures, which can affect battery life and performance.

- Regularly inspect the device for physical damage that could compromise water resistance or functionality.
