Step 2: Remove Personal Data from Your Device

Before handing over your Galaxy S5 Active, erase all personal data to protect your privacy. Follow these general steps:

Back Up Your Data: Use cloud storage or a computer to save important files, contacts, and photos.
Sign Out of Accounts: Deactivate any connected accounts (e.g., Apple ID, Google, Samsung, Microsoft) to prevent activation locks.
Factory Reset your Galaxy S5 Active: Navigate to the settings menu and select “Reset” or “Erase All Content.” Ensure the process is complete before shutting down the device.
Remove External Storage (If Applicable): Take out SD cards or SIM cards before packaging.
