Do not press the screen with a hard or sharp object

- When using a Galaxy Z Fold3, using the Galaxy S Pen Pro or stylus pens not designed for Galaxy Z Fold3 may damage the display. For Galaxy Z Fold3, we recommend that you use the S Pen Fold edition that is designed exclusively for Galaxy Z Fold3.
Remove all foreign objects in between the screen
Cards, coins, keys and other foreign objects between the screen may cause screen damage when closing.
Foreign objects between the screen may scratch or puncture the screen. We recommend that you fold the device before putting it in or storing it. Be sure not to store the device unfolded as there is a chance that another object could scratch or puncture the screen. Also, using an object or your finger to open the screen may cause damage to the screen. We recommend that you open the device by touching the sides of the device.
Note:
- Credit cards, bankbooks, security cards, entrance or parking lot passes and other objects with magnetic components can become damaged or disabled. Medical devices, such as pacemakers or implanted cardioverter defibrillators, can also be affected. Please keep a safe distance from your device at all times.
- The Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 support IPX8 rated water-resistant. However, care must be taken to maintain the water-resistance of your device and to prevent the damage to your device. In addition, these devices are not dust-resistant. Exposure to small particles, such as sand, may cause damage to the device, such as scratches or dents on the screen.
- IPX8 is based on test conditions for submersion in up to 1.5 meters of freshwater for up to 30 minutes. Not advised for beach or pool use.
- Placing film, stickers, or other adhesive materials on the screen may damage the screen. Keep the original protection film and we recommend that you use a Samsung-approved protection film.

The device has a built-in wireless charging coil. You can charge the battery using a wireless charger. The performance and efficiency of wireless charging can be influenced by the smartphone case you are using.
