Precautions for device overheating
If you begin to feel uncomfortable because of the device overheating, stop using the
device.
When the device heats up, the features and performance may be limited or the device
may turn off to cool down. The feature is only available on supported models.
•
If the device overheats, the screen brightness, the screen refresh rate, and the
performance speed will be limited to lower the device’s temperature. Even if the
battery charging indicator icon appears, charging may be slow. When charging stops
because of a rise in the device’s temperature, the battery indicator icon will blink.
•
If the device reaches a certain temperature, a warning message will appear to
prevent device failure, skin irritation and damage, and battery leakage. Running
apps will be closed and all calling and other features will be limited, except for
emergency calls, until the device cools down.
